“Cleantech is getting more attention again from Wall Street and Independent Investors”- Josh Levine

“Cleantech is getting more attention again from Wall Street and Independent Investors”- Josh Levine Investing in Cleantech Stocks; Recent Q&A Interview with Josh Levine of the MicroCap Investor Newsletter New York, NY, Point Roberts WA, March 29, 2011 – Investorideas.com, a leader in cleantech investor research features a recent interview with Josh Levine of the MicroCap Investor newsletter, discussing cleantech investment strategies. Rising oil prices and the recent nuclear disaster in Japan have created renewed interest in the cleantech sector that some analyst think is the real thing and here to stay .In an environment of rising oil prices, Levine sees major investment opportunities in Cleantech. Josh discusses his recent addition to his portfolio and why and his overall strategy for finding cleantech plays in the microcap markets. Investorideas.com Interview Excerpt: Q: Investorideas.com Josh, with oil prices surging above $100, cleantech is getting a lot more attention again from Wall Street and independent investors. I know you look at the long term investment picture, so what do you think is driving cleantech and what is your outlook for opportunities in this sector? A: Josh Levine, MicroCap Investor Let's first qualify what is meant by the term cleantech. Cleantech is often used interchangeably with green technologies and alternative energy, but it seems to be the one that's emerged to encompass all these things. Cleantech essentially covers technologies that are more energy-efficient than conventional technologies and offer more environmentally-friendly alternatives to fossil-fuel-driven energy applications. Broadly speaking, the world is always moving towards more efficient use of resources. Year after year and decade after decade, we manage to get more out of a given amount of resources. The first industrial revolution was powered by coal and though it provided tremendous gains in production, the pollution negatively impacted the quality of life and health of millions of people. … Q: Investorideas.com You recently just added a new cleantech stock to your portfolio. Can you give us some insight as to what qualified this particular stock based on your investing model? A: Josh Levine, MicroCap Investor My latest recommendation in unusual company which has developed and commercialized environmentally safe alternatives to plastics used for food containers, utensils, product wraps, as well as a wide range of parts in autos and many other things. Importantly, it meets all of my most important criteria for a great microcap investment. As a cleantech play, this company's biodegradeable and completely safe products can replace petroleum-based polypropylene packaging. The result is less use of oil and a better outcome for the environment. It's a strong proposition. It's a classic microcap story with all of the fundamentals in place for soaring growth -- a unique technology platform that's been validated by major customers worldwide, an experienced and proven management team, and powerful market drivers bolstered by increasing demand. This company is addressing markets representing annual sales in the tens of billions of dollars, it has proven technology and products that are being rapidly adopted by large corporate customers, it has manufacturing capacity to scale several times current production, and its products are already on parity with polypropylene now that oil prices are north of $100. In 2010, sales revenue for this company was $6.3 million, a 133% increase versus 2009, and projected revenue for the 2011 full year is between $24 million and $32 million -- a whopping 300% to 400% increase over 2010! With all this going for it, this company is still valued well below $100 million. That's the kind of microcap opportunity I absolutely love! … Q: Investorideas.com What percentage of your portfolio is in the cleantech space currently and are you looking to add more companies in the space over this year? A: Josh Levine, MicroCap Investor About one-third of the MicroCap Investor portfolio is devoted to cleantech companies, and I've got several top prospects in my sights. It's tough to predict, but I suspect I'll be adding at least a couple of more cleantech plays to our portfolio this year. It's really a matter of quality, not quantity, and I am extremely bullish on the current group we have today. Still, cleantech is a ripe sector and it will yield tremendous opportunities year after year for a very long time. Every growth-oriented investor should make sure a healthy portion of his or her equities portfolio is allocated to cleantech.

Electric Car Stocks Snapshot; Industry Report Calls Hybrid and EV Cars the New Gold Rush 2011-2021

Electric Car Stocks Snapshot; Industry Report Calls Hybrid and EV Cars the New Gold Rush 2011-2021

Trading Snapshot; (NasdaqGM: AONE), (NASDAQ: HEV), (OTCBB: EVCA)), (NYSE: NRG ), . (NASDAQ: TSLA)

Point Roberts, WA, -March 18, 2011 (Investorideas.com renewable energy/green newswire) Investorideas.com a leader in cleantech investor research, reports on electric car stocks and battery stocks trading for March 18th. A recent report by IDTechEx calls the hybrid and EV cars the new gold rush 2011- 2021.

With higher oil prices, the sector has had some ups and downs, with the overall market volatility. Long term- the green car enthusiasts are bullish. Just like the cars, most of the stocks in the sector are trading up and in the green this morning.

"Hybrid and Pure Electric Cars 2011-2021" and "Car Traction Batteries - The New Gold Rush 2011-2021"
Good volume growth but greater value growth The 30.6 million EVs sold in 2011 will rise to 51.3 million in 2021 but the value of the market will grow by far more because larger and more expensive vehicles are now rapidly adopting the technology. Motorcycles, military vehicles, buses and earthmovers are among them. Hybrids will rise from about 50% to about 60% of the value market through the decade. In ten years from now, a far higher percentage of the global output of light industrial vehicles, commercial vehicles and cars will be EVs. The new report gives the detail, forecasting numbers, unit value and total market value for each applicational sector with many original tables giving subsets of the data and a large number of profiles of current and planned activities of the participants. Some EV sectors were hit by the global financial meltdown but are recovering. Many sectors now benefit from the tsunami wave of government benefits, technical innovations and new models becoming available. We evaluate these aspects and the market drivers, including what users really need. Battery, motor and other technology is explained and forecasted as well. This report "Electric Vehicles 2011-2021" is a sister report to IDTechEx reports about the two most important subsectors of the EV business - "Hybrid and Pure Electric Cars 2011-2021" and "Car Traction Batteries - The New Gold Rush 2011-2021".

Wind Stocks; Up, Up and Away

Company Snapshots for Broadwind Energy, Inc. (NasdaqGS: BWEN ), Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc. (OTCBB: CWET)

Point Roberts, WA –March 17, 2011 - Investorideas.com, a leader in cleantech stock research, reports on recent wind stocks news and developments for wind stocks following a third up day in trading for the sector. Investors have been turning to renewable stocks this week following the nuclear disaster in Japan.

Astute investors have already been betting on wind. In his most recent shareholder letter, Warren Buffett stated, “MidAmerican will have 2,909 megawatts of wind generation in operation by the end of 2011, more than any other regulated electric utility in the country. The total amount that MidAmerican has invested or committed to wind is a staggering $5.4 billion. We can make this sort of investment because MidAmerican retains all of its earnings, unlike other utilities that generally pay out most of what they earn.”

Investors including Warren Buffet and T. Boone Pickens have bet big on wind energy. With one environmental disaster after another, the push for clean energy is global.

The European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) reports wind energy alone could meet 28.5% of Europe´s electricity demand by 2030. Already the Member States´ National Renewable Energy Action Plans show wind energy providing over 14% of the EU´s electricity by 2020. Full News:
http://www.investorideas.com/news/2011/renewable-energy/03141.asp

In a recent article from the Earth Institute entitled “Wind: The Center of the Plan B Energy Economy”
Earth Policy Institute's Plan B to save civilization has four components: stabilizing climate, restoring earth's natural support systems, stabilizing population, and eradicating poverty. At the heart of the plan is a crash program to develop 4,000 gigawatts (4 million megawatts) of wind generating capacity by 2020, enough to cover over half of world electricity consumption in the Plan B economy. This will require a near doubling of capacity every two years, up from a doubling every three years over the last decade.

This climate-stabilizing initiative would mean the installation of 2 million wind turbines of 2 megawatts each. Manufacturing 2 million wind turbines over the next 10 years sounds intimidating—until it is compared with the 70 million automobiles the world produces each year.

Find electric vehicle charging stations on Google Maps

Wednesday, March 9, 2011 at 9:30 AM
[Cross-posted from the Google.org Blog]
http://google-latlong.blogspot.com/2011/03/find-electric-vehicle-charging-stations.html



At Google, we’ve been supporting environmentally-friendly cars through initiatives such as RechargeIT, an effort to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles. As consumers embrace electric vehicles, we’ve also been adding information to Google Maps over the past few months to help users find charging stations. Just search on Google Maps for “ev charging station” plus the appropriate area, for example, “ev charging station near mountain view ca.”

We’d like to continue adding more charging stations to Google Maps, so we’re excited that our friends over at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) are working to make more data available.

NREL has launched the GeoEVSE Forum to help develop a detailed, accurate database of electric vehicle charging stations. We’ll be adding more EV charging locations to Google Maps as their database, and others, are updated. As always, you can use the Report a problem tool to inform us of any corrections.

If you represent an automaker, an electric vehicle charging station manufacturer or installer, an EV consumer group or any other interested party, you can join the GeoEVSE Forum by visiting this site.

We look forward to adding even more information to Google Maps to help you recharge your electric vehicle. Happy green driving!

Q&A; Josh Levine from MicroCap Investor Newsletter Shares Cleantech Investment Outlook and Strategy

Q&A; Josh Levine from MicroCap Investor Newsletter Shares Cleantech Investment Outlook and Strategy

New York, NY, Point Roberts WA, March 9, 2011 – Investorideas.com, a leader in cleantech stock research releases a recent Q&A with Josh Levine of the MicroCap Investor newsletter, discussing his cleantech investment outlook and strategy.

Investorideas.com Cleantech Interview:

Q: Investorideas.com

Josh, with oil prices surging above $100, cleantech is getting a lot more attention again from Wall Street and independent investors. I know you look at the long term investment picture, so what do you think is driving cleantech and what is your outlook for opportunities in this sector?

A: Josh Levine, MicroCap Investor http://www.levinesmicrocapinvestor.com/

Let's first qualify what is meant by the term cleantech. Cleantech is often used interchangeably with green technologies and alternative energy, but it seems to be the one that's emerged to encompass all these things. Cleantech essentially covers technologies that are more energy-efficient than conventional technologies and offer more environmentally-friendly alternatives to fossil-fuel-driven energy applications.

Broadly speaking, the world is always moving towards more efficient use of resources. Year after year and decade after decade, we manage to get more out of a given amount of resources. The first industrial revolution was powered by coal and though it provided tremendous gains in production, the pollution negatively impacted the quality of life and health of millions of people.

In the past century, while coal continued to have a prominent role, oil reigned as the fuel of choice because its energy density is so high, it was incredibly abundant, and it's easy to transport. The downside is that the oil supply is finite and that the burning of it leaves an undesirable byproduct. Today, it's becoming increasingly more costly to find and produce new oil -- and that's critical in the energy equation.

This brings us to cleantech opportunities, which are only just emerging after very long periods of incubation in research and development. What's happening today is a huge shift in the consciousness of governments, corporations and consumers. Of course lots of people are talking about energy efficiency, but there are also many now taking action on all levels.

Several things are driving this shift toward cleantech including climate change, the fear of running out of global oil supplies, rising world population and the limits of natural resources, higher energy costs, and environmental concerns. And then there's the surging demand from China. That's a pretty powerful mix. And when we combine these forces with the progress being made in new energy technologies, investors have a remarkable opportunity for profits.

The first electric cars are hitting the road this year after several years of hybrids, and the prospects for broad adoption over the next several years are very promising. With this comes the need for infrastructure to support car charging and that will spawn huge investments in the electric grid and networks to support these new vehicles around the U.S. and all over the world.

Of course solar and wind will continue to grow as their costs approach parity with conventional energy and they address important niches in the energy sphere. Additionally, there are so many other technologies that are part of the cleantech ecosystem and critical to the development of these markets, including batteries, fuel cells, inverters, demand response and energy management systems, ultracapacitors, superconductor cables and so much more.

To succeed in cleantech, investors really need to stay focused on the bigger picture and to be patient. The energy space moves far slower than, for example, the IT world, so developments unfold at a different rate. But once these technologies start gaining market traction, the valuations of the leading small innovative cleantech companies will generate fantastic returns for investors who got an early start.


Q: Investorideas.com

You recently just added a new cleantech stock to your portfolio. Can you give us some insight as to what qualified this particular stock based on your investing model?

A: Josh Levine, MicroCap Investor

My latest recommendation in unusual company which has developed and commercialized environmentally safe alternatives to plastics used for food containers, utensils, product wraps, as well as a wide range of parts in autos and many other things. Importantly, it meets all of my most important criteria for a great microcap investment.

As a cleantech play, this company's biodegradeable and completely safe products can replace petroleum-based polypropylene packaging. The result is less use of oil and a better outcome for the environment. It's a strong proposition.

It's a classic microcap story with all of the fundamentals in place for soaring growth -- a unique technology platform that's been validated by major customers worldwide, an experienced and proven management team, and powerful market drivers bolstered by increasing demand.

This company is addressing markets representing annual sales in the tens of billions of dollars, it has proven technology and products that are being rapidly adopted by large corporate customers, it has manufacturing capacity to scale several times current production, and its products are already on parity with polypropylene now that oil prices are north of $100.

In 2010, sales revenue for this company was $6.3 million, a 133% increase versus 2009, and projected revenue for the 2011 full year is between $24 million and $32 million -- a whopping 300% to 400% increase over 2010!

With all this going for it, this company is still valued well below $100 million. That's the kind of microcap opportunity I absolutely love!


Q: Investorideas.com

With all the government incentives and funding from this administration, how much of a role does government play for you when you look at a sector or an individual stock?

A: Josh Levine, MicroCap Investor

First, it's important to point out that the oil and nuclear industries have enjoyed massive government subsidies forever. So it's totally ridiculous when some folks get all bent out of shape and complain about the unfair advantages for renewable energy.

Now, as for the role government plays, I would say that it is a factor on the sector level, especially as it concerns solar subsidies in the U.S., Europe and elsewhere. But as we've seen, it's tough to bet on companies when from year to year you don't know what's going to happen regarding tax credits and other such things.

On the other hand, government R&D grants serve a great purpose for small companies since these funds essentially cover the costs for specific projects and enable firms with limited resources to explore technologies that they may otherwise have to put on the back burner.

There is one cleantech company in the MicroCap Investor portfolio that has benefitted considerably from government grants and the nice thing for shareholders is that any value created by these projects stays with the company.

On a final note, the government's role in basic scientific research has always been very fundamental for U.S. economic growth and that's one area that the Feds should continue to focus on. This is especially vital for energy technologies since venture capitalists and other investors don't have the patience or staying power required to take these technologies from lab to market.


Q: Investorideas.com

Within cleantech there are a lot of sub-sectors from smart grid to solar to wind to energy efficiency and others; what are you focusing on and why?

A: Josh Levine, MicroCap Investor

All of the above, but I'm especially looking at companies that solve big problems with elegant and cost-efficient solutions. There's got to be a powerful value proposition, adoption by key customers, multi-billion dollar markets, and fast-growing demand on a global scale.

There a wonderful opportunities in every segment of cleantech, but at the small company level an investor really needs to understand the dynamics of technologies and markets, not to mention to be able to evaluate management teams.

In the MicroCap Investor portfolio the cleantech companies are involved in energy storage, LED and other advanced lighting, equipment for large-scale solar projects, bioplastics, technologies for increasing the efficiency of the energy grid, and more.

I'm focusing on these companies because they could deliver profits of 100% to 1,000% over the next several years. In fact, I recently sold half of our position in one of these stocks to capture a 138% profit -- and that's just a small taste of what's ahead.


Q: Investorideas.com

What percentage of your portfolio is in the cleantech space currently and are you looking to add more companies in the space over this year?

A: Josh Levine, MicroCap Investor

About one-third of the MicroCap Investor portfolio is devoted to cleantech companies, and I've got several top prospects in my sights. It's tough to predict, but I suspect I'll be adding at least a couple of more cleantech plays to our portfolio this year.

It's really a matter of quality, not quantity, and I am extremely bullish on the current group we have today. Still, cleantech is a ripe sector and it will yield tremendous opportunities year after year for a very long time. Every growth-oriented investor should make sure a healthy portion of his or her equities portfolio is allocated to cleantech.
