Renewable Energy Stocks Q&A with CEO of Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc (OTCBB: CWET)); Discussing Downdraft Wind Towers
Ronald W. Pickett, President and CEO, Chairman Vision for Clean Energy and what the US has to do be Competitive
Point Roberts, WA –June 14, 2011 - Investorideas.com, a leader in renewable energy stock research issues a Q&A with Ronald W. Pickett, President and CEO, Chairman of Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc (OTCBB: CWET) . Mr. Pickett discusses developments within the company following its OTC listing Jan 2011.
Q: Investorideas.com
Ron, you recently issued a shareholder update outlining the developments within the company since you have become a publicly traded stock on the OTC. Can you tell us two of the most significant milestones you have met since that time?
A: Ronald W. Pickett, President and CEO, Chairman
The final design for our Tower requires “fine tuning” relating to the specific site. The actual height and resource requirements and consequently the turbine and power generation systems are modified to match the local wind speeds, temperatures and relative humidity. As luck would have it, our government has been monitoring the targeted site for our first Tower and we are now in possession of all the relevant data. Our team is now working diligently to validate power output data with third party industry experts- a big break for CWET as we “leap-frog” the atmospheric study phase of the project.
Q: Investorideas.com
You have announced two patent filings. Can you give us the significance of the patents in terms of the big picture for your company’s positioning in the marketplace?
A: Ronald W. Pickett, President and CEO, Chairman
We have announced the acceleration of two patent filings and we intend to continue to file new applications as well as accelerating our previously filed applications. As we forge our way through the design of various systems, we anticipate that numerous additional opportunities will present themselves to us to protect our first-to-market techniques making CWET the clear leader in downdraft tower development.
Q: Investorideas.com
For new investors that really aren’t familiar with your Downdraft Towers, can you explain what differentiates you from other wind towers?
A: Ronald W. Pickett, President and CEO, Chairman
Our Downdraft Tower is in an entirely separate league compared to traditional wind towers. Rather than being at the mercy of however the wind is blowing at any given time, we create wind 24/7 and harness that wind energy and feed it into generators that can produce 1,000 times the power of a traditional tower at a fraction of the cost per KWH.
Q: Investorideas.com
What are the steps and timelines for investors to see the first Downdraft Tower on location?
A: Ronald W. Pickett, President and CEO, Chairman
Certain components, machinery and equipment can require 9 months to one year’s lead time for delivery. Site selection, engineering and land planning all require time as do permitting and financing. To speculate that the first Tower could be under construction in one year would be “possible” but very optimistic. Eighteen months would be aggressive and probably 24 months is more realistic.
Q: Investorideas.com
As a small company in the wind sector, you can see other companies moving ahead of the US in wind – what do you think the US has to do to be a leader in wind?
A: Ronald W. Pickett, President and CEO, Chairman
For the U.S. to become a world leader in wind energy, several parts must come together in unison. Governments, (state, local and federal) should embrace wind as an alternative renewable and valuable contribution to our energy solution and provide tax incentives and “clean air” credits as well as “stream-line” permitting to encourage development. Loan guarantees would also help jump-start things today in light of global credit markets. Perhaps the best way to create leadership is to educate our population as to the benefits of alternative energy and “clean wind” solutions. It has taken us 150 years to get where we are today as an industrialized society. We don’t have another 150 years to solve our energy and clean air predicaments.

Constellation Energy Signs Agreement to Acquire Western Maryland Wind Project
Constellation Energy Signs Agreement to Acquire Western Maryland Wind Project
BALTIMORE- Constellation Energy (NYSE:CEG) today announced it has signed an agreement with Clipper Windpower, Inc. to acquire the Criterion wind project in Garrett County, Md. The $140 million, 70-megawatt wind energy project would be developed, constructed, owned and operated by Constellation Energy. This new renewable energy resource would provide enough sustainable electricity to meet the annual equivalent usage of an estimated 23,000 households. It is one of several clean energy initiatives Constellation Energy has recently completed or proposed across Maryland.
Under terms of the agreement, Constellation Energy will purchase from Clipper Windpower the Criterion project and 28 of Clipper’s 2.5-megawatt Liberty wind turbines. The Criterion project has received the necessary state approvals. Criterion’s 2008 state application was the first to win approval under a 2007 state law promoting wind development in Maryland.
“Constellation Energy remains committed to pursuing clean, green energy generation and conservation projects in Maryland,” said Mayo A. Shattuck III, chairman, president and chief executive officer, Constellation Energy. “These projects have the potential to produce high-paying construction jobs while increasing and diversifying energy supply in the state of Maryland. The Criterion project is an ideal example of the kind of innovative and sustainable energy project that can help Maryland meet its ambitious renewable energy objectives.”
The Constellation Energy-Clipper Windpower agreement, which is subject to certain terms and conditions, is expected to close in the first quarter of 2010. Commercial operation of the wind energy facility is anticipated in the fall of 2010.
The Criterion project has entered into a 20-year power purchase agreement with the Old Dominion Electric Cooperative for energy and renewable energy credits produced by the wind facility. Old Dominion is a not-for-profit wholesale power provider serving public electric cooperatives in Maryland, Delaware and Virginia.
The proposed Western Maryland wind project is one of several renewable energy initiatives Constellation Energy has developed or is pursuing on behalf of public and private sector customers in the state. Within the last year, Constellation Energy completed one of the largest photovoltaic systems in Maryland - a nearly 1-megawatt solar project for McCormick & Company - and constructed a 300-kilowatt solar system for the Maryland Environmental Service, the first of its kind for a Maryland state agency.

GE Energy Joins Forces with WSI, a Member of the Weather Channel Companies, to Launch Forecasting Technology for Wind Farms
GE Energy Joins Forces with WSI, a Member of the Weather Channel Companies, to Launch Forecasting Technology for Wind Farms
Windpower 2009 -Booth 4148
CHICAGO--GE Energy and WSI Corporation, the global leader in weather information and a member of The Weather Channel Companies, are joining forces to launch more accurate forecasting tools for wind farm owner/operators and transmission/distribution providers.
GE Energy, the leading U.S. supplier of wind turbines, and WSI announced today at Windpower 2009 that they have formed an alliance. “This relationship brings together two technology platforms to further the science of wind forecasting and its use in wind farm operations,” said Victor Abate, vice president, renewables for GE Energy.
WSI Corporation is the world’s leading provider of weather-driven business solutions across industries that span media, aviation, energy trading, utilities and insurance. In its alliance with GE Energy, WSI will build upon its existing wind power and wind speed forecast capabilities to develop technology that provides more accurate forecasts for the wind power industry. The improved accuracy can assist in optimization of turbine performance, power production planning and wind energy transmission integration.
As part of the alliance, WSI and GE Energy will develop technology to collect real-time turbine and wind data, incorporate this data into proprietary forecast models, and provide customized forecast and operational guidance services. “The integration of timely, accurate weather forecasts with turbine operations can provide tools to help operators improve the efficiency of their wind farms,” explained Abate.
“This is an important time to be involved with wind energy and in helping to shape the future of our nation’s renewable energy agenda,” said Ira Scharf, general manager of WSI’s energy and risk division. “This alliance builds on our proven strength in wind forecasting and is a natural extension of our capabilities from traditional energy production and trading to cutting-edge renewable sources. We are excited to be teamed with GE Energy, the global leader in wind turbine and wind energy systems. Our combined efforts will lead to the creation of new and innovative solutions for forecasting and optimization of wind power generation and transmission.”
The alliance with WSI supports GE Energy’s ongoing commitment to help move the wind industry forward. “Wind power has become a mainstream energy option and will play an increasingly important role in helping the United States attain energy independence, while also meeting our environmental responsibilities,” said Abate.
Since entering the wind business in 2002, GE Energy has invested more than $850 million to improve wind turbine technology. Today, more than 12,000 GE-technology wind turbines are installed worldwide.

Windpower 2009 -Booth 4148
CHICAGO--GE Energy and WSI Corporation, the global leader in weather information and a member of The Weather Channel Companies, are joining forces to launch more accurate forecasting tools for wind farm owner/operators and transmission/distribution providers.
GE Energy, the leading U.S. supplier of wind turbines, and WSI announced today at Windpower 2009 that they have formed an alliance. “This relationship brings together two technology platforms to further the science of wind forecasting and its use in wind farm operations,” said Victor Abate, vice president, renewables for GE Energy.
WSI Corporation is the world’s leading provider of weather-driven business solutions across industries that span media, aviation, energy trading, utilities and insurance. In its alliance with GE Energy, WSI will build upon its existing wind power and wind speed forecast capabilities to develop technology that provides more accurate forecasts for the wind power industry. The improved accuracy can assist in optimization of turbine performance, power production planning and wind energy transmission integration.
As part of the alliance, WSI and GE Energy will develop technology to collect real-time turbine and wind data, incorporate this data into proprietary forecast models, and provide customized forecast and operational guidance services. “The integration of timely, accurate weather forecasts with turbine operations can provide tools to help operators improve the efficiency of their wind farms,” explained Abate.
“This is an important time to be involved with wind energy and in helping to shape the future of our nation’s renewable energy agenda,” said Ira Scharf, general manager of WSI’s energy and risk division. “This alliance builds on our proven strength in wind forecasting and is a natural extension of our capabilities from traditional energy production and trading to cutting-edge renewable sources. We are excited to be teamed with GE Energy, the global leader in wind turbine and wind energy systems. Our combined efforts will lead to the creation of new and innovative solutions for forecasting and optimization of wind power generation and transmission.”
The alliance with WSI supports GE Energy’s ongoing commitment to help move the wind industry forward. “Wind power has become a mainstream energy option and will play an increasingly important role in helping the United States attain energy independence, while also meeting our environmental responsibilities,” said Abate.
Since entering the wind business in 2002, GE Energy has invested more than $850 million to improve wind turbine technology. Today, more than 12,000 GE-technology wind turbines are installed worldwide.

$10M from GE and Current Investors Plus Federal Stimulus Incentives Propel Southwest Windpower’s Expansion in Small Wind Turbines
$10M from GE and Current Investors Plus Federal Stimulus Incentives Propel Southwest Windpower’s Expansion in Small Wind Turbines
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz.--April 6 2009 --One month after the adoption of federal tax credits to propel small wind energy growth in the United States, GE (NYSE: GE) is joining current investors to provide $10 million to the world’s largest manufacturer of small wind turbines, Southwest Windpower. Southwest Windpower—designer and producer of small wind turbines up to 3 kW—will use this new funding to accelerate its growth in new markets and products. Other current investors that participated are Altira; Rockport Capital Partners; NGP Energy Technology Partners; and CTTV Investments LLC, the venture capital arm of Chevron Technology Ventures.
“Renewable energy is a critical component of the world’s energy mix, and small, more affordable wind energy will be a key new energy alternative,” said Frank Greco, CEO of Southwest Windpower, based in Flagstaff. “This new capital funding will allow us to expand our markets, helping to bring cost-effective small wind energy to new residential, commercial, and off-grid customers.”
The company did not publicly break down the investment amount for each firm participating in the funding round, the capital for which will help Southwest Windpower develop new markets, grow its sales offices in Europe, and expand in Asia. The funds also will help expand the company’s product line to develop even more efficient wind systems. Southwest Windpower has grown 3.5 times in annual sales volume over the last 4-year period at a Compound Annual Growth Rate of nearly 37%.
Much of the growth will center on the market expansion and continued enhancement of Skystream, a residential-scale wind generator that produces electricity up to 60 percent cheaper than retail electricity, bringing renewable energy options to residential consumers and commercial outlets. Skystream’s unique plug-and-play design allows the user to connect directly to the electric grid. For a residential home, Skystream can provide anywhere from 40 – 90% of the home’s electricity, depending on their consumption and wind resource. Southwest Windpower is developing new applications for the Skystream system, including commercial uses such as powering light poles for parking lots or municipalities and multiple unit installations for remote electrification.
“The new federal stimulus incentives and the company’s product performance improvements enable Southwest Windpower to offer renewable electricity at attractive rates in different regions of the country,” said Kevin Skillern, managing director and leader of venture capital at GE Energy Financial Services. “In many applications, Southwest Windpower offers the most economic distributed renewable generation technology, and GE is helping the company accelerate adoption of that technology.”
The US economic stabilization and fiscal stimulus laws enacted in late 2008 and early 2009, which allow consumers and small businesses to take a 30% tax credit off the installed cost of a wind turbine, are expected to fuel Southwest Windpower’s continued growth. The American Wind Energy Association predicts the federal incentives, on top of a growing number of state incentives, could help the small-turbine market grow 30-fold in as few as five years.
About Southwest Windpower
Flagstaff Arizona-based Southwest Windpower is the world’s largest producer of small wind generators (400-3000 watts). The 22-year old company has been a pioneer in the development of wind technology and has produced over 130,000 generators that provide power to residential homes, remote cabins, telecom transmitters, offshore platforms, water pumping and sailboats. Southwest Windpower distributes in more than 88 countries.

EDF Energies Nouvelles is Commissioning a New 100.5 MW Wind Farm in the United States
As part of its expansion drive in the United States, EDF Energies Nouvelles (Paris:EEN), a major player in the North American renewable energies industry, is announcing the commissioning of its Wapsipinicon wind farm in Minnesota. This facility has 67 turbines each with 1.5 MW in capacity, representing a total of 100.5 MW.
This new wind farm, in which a minority shareholding will be owned by financial investors, was developed and built by enXco, the US subsidiary of EDF Energies Nouvelles. The electricity it generates has been sold under a 25-year contract to Southern Minnesota Municipal Power Agency, which serves the interests of all the municipally-owned utilities in southern Minnesota. The 67 turbines were supplied by US manufacturer GE Energy.
This facility is part of a complex with over 200 MW in capacity, the southern part of which (Grand Meadows) was built by enXco for third parties and then sold.
With the addition of the Wapsipinicon wind farm, the Group, which has been present in the United States since 2002, is strengthening its positions in the generation of green electricity in North America.
“The commissioning of the Wapsipinicon wind farm has increased our gross capacity in service to over 713 MW in the United States. It represents a market with tremendous potential in which we have been making gains year after year since the beginning of the decade” said David Corchia, Chief Executive Officer of EDF Energies Nouvelles.

Juhl Wind Acquires Next Generation Power Systems
Juhl Wind Acquires Next Generation Power Systems
WOODSTOCK, Minn.--Juhl Wind Inc. (OTCBB: JUHL), the Leader in Community Wind Power, today announced that it has completed its acquisition of Next Generation Power Systems – a company that specializes in community scale wind turbine and solar systems. The acquisition of Next Generation Power Systems (“NextGen”) brings smaller wind turbine and solar expertise to Juhl Wind to enhance and expand its existing community wind power product and service offerings.
“The acquisition of Next Generation Power Systems is a perfect fit for Juhl Wind,” stated Dan Juhl, CEO of Juhl Wind. “NextGen extends our area of expertise into smaller scale community wind and solar projects - which is an area practically untouched by the wind development industry and an area in which we continue to pick up business. For example, NextGen wind turbine systems have been applied directly to serve large farming and livestock operations and NextGen’s solar systems have been installed at residential sites, a municipal utility application and bank branches. Both types of systems are designed to serve a wide spectrum of applications from farming to commercial sites to universities and other institutions.” Additional information on Next Generation Power Systems can be found at www.nexgenpowersystems.com.
“As we announced recently, we are experiencing strong growth in our university and college business along with other site-specific government and commercial customer projects,” added John Mitola, President of Juhl Wind. “NextGen extends our service offerings to better serve this area of our business with smaller wind turbines and now, solar systems. Given that the U.S. bailout package included an extension of solar tax credits and a lifting of any caps on such credits, we believe we will be matching solar systems more frequently with our wind systems for these types of customers.”
Juhl Wind acquired Next Generation Power Systems for 92,143 shares of unregistered Juhl Wind common stock, valued at $3.50 per share. The transaction also included Juhl Wind’s purchase of a commercial building in Pipestone, Minnesota, from a related company, Next Generation Power Properties, for a purchase price of $144,000 payable by delivery of an aggregate of 41,070 unregistered common shares in Juhl Wind allocated among certain selling shareholders (who are also NextGen selling shareholders). Therefore, the amount of stock the sellers of NextGen and Next Generation Power Properties obtained in Juhl Wind is 133,213 shares – or less than 1% of Juhl Wind’s total outstanding stock. Dan Juhl, one of the owners of NextGen and Next Generation Power Properties, contributed his shares from both of the selling companies in the transaction at no additional cost to Juhl Wind. In 2007, Next Generation Power Systems generated approximately $850,000 in revenue and is expected to see solid growth in 2009. The NextGen financial results will only be included in Juhl Wind’s fourth quarter financial results for 2008.
“The acquisition of NextGen was always part of our plan to expand our business rapidly after going public,” continued Dan Juhl. “We think this sends a strong message that we want to be the leader in the community energy and small scale wind/solar arena. The growth opportunities in this sector are enormous and there are very few, credible entities with the capabilities that are brought to customers by Juhl Wind. Going forward, we will continue to consider opportunities to expand our business and will certainly be opportunistic when the right strategic fit presents itself. This acquisition demonstrates our wherewithal to get deals done to expand our business in the right way.”

New Column by Paul Nery:
Excerpt:
Catch the Wind
Wind is looking like one the great opportunities for this year. If you follow Jim Cramer at all you may have heard him declare this to be the year of wind. And just this past week that well-known oilman T. Boone Pickens, who is building an enormous 4,000 Megawatt wind farm in Pampa Texas, declared a major PR campaign for wind. The “Pickens Plan” (www.pickensplan.com) calls for rapid ramping up of wind power and advocates the use of natural gas vehicles. Pickens views wind as part of a solution to our rapidly increasing expenditure on foreign oil. Currently $700 Billion is going offshore each year to pay for imported oil.

New Column by Paul Nery:
Excerpt:
Catch the Wind
Wind is looking like one the great opportunities for this year. If you follow Jim Cramer at all you may have heard him declare this to be the year of wind. And just this past week that well-known oilman T. Boone Pickens, who is building an enormous 4,000 Megawatt wind farm in Pampa Texas, declared a major PR campaign for wind. The “Pickens Plan” (www.pickensplan.com) calls for rapid ramping up of wind power and advocates the use of natural gas vehicles. Pickens views wind as part of a solution to our rapidly increasing expenditure on foreign oil. Currently $700 Billion is going offshore each year to pay for imported oil.

DOE Signs Agreement with Wind Energy Industry Leaders, Aims at 20% Electrical Generation
DOE Signs Agreement with Wind Energy Industry Leaders, Aims at 20% Electrical Generation
by 2030June 02, 2008
HOUSTON, TX. — On June 2, the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Assistant Secretary of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Alexander Karsner, announced a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between DOE and six leading wind industry turbine manufacturers: GE Energy, Siemens Power Generation, Vestas Wind Systems, Clipper Turbine Works, Suzlon Energy, and Gamesa Corporation. This two year collaboration aims to promote wind energy in the United States through advanced technology research and development and siting strategies to advance industrial wind power manufacturing capabilities.
"The MOU between DOE and the six major turbine manufacturers demonstrates the shared commitment of the federal government and the private sector to create the roadmap necessary to achieve 20% wind energy by 2030," Assistant Secretary Karsner said. "To dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance our energy security, clean power generation at the gigawatt-scale will be necessary to expand the domestic wind manufacturing base and streamline the permitting process."
As part of President Bush's 2006 Advanced Energy Initiative, wind energy has the potential to play an important role in our nation's long-term energy strategy. Investments in wind energy will fundamentally change the way U.S. homes and businesses are powered, in an environmentally friendly manner.
The agreement builds on a recently released DOE report, 20% Wind Energy in 2030: Increasing Wind Energy's Contribution to U.S. Electricity Supply. This report examines the technical feasibility of harnessing wind power to provide up to 20% of the nation's total electricity needs by 2030. Most notably, the report finds that by using wind power to meet 20% of our nation's electricity needs, we can eliminate 7.6 cumulative gigatons of CO2 by 2030, then 825 million metric tons in 2030 and every year thereafter.
In 2007, U.S. cumulative wind energy capacity reached 16,818 megawatts (MW)—with more than 5,000 MW of wind installed in 2007. Wind contributed to more than 30% of the new U.S. electricity generation capacity in 2007, making it the second largest source of new power generation in the nation, surpassed only by natural gas. The U.S. wind energy industry invested approximately $9 billion in new generating capacity in 2007, and has experienced a 30% annual growth rate in the last five years.
