Renewable Energy Stocks Features Solar Stock, XsunX, Inc. (OTCBB: XSNX)
POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC – December 10, 2007, www.RenewableEnergyStocks.com, a leading investor news and research portal for the renewable energy sector within Investorideas.com, presents featured showcase company, XsunX, Inc. (OTCBB : XSNX ). XsunX, Inc is a solar technology company focused on the build- out of its multi-megawatt thin film photovoltaic (TFPV) solar module manufacturing facilities.
XsunX, Inc returns to Renewable Energy Stock’s website, following a period of expanding upon the company’s solar business strategy. XsunX is positioned in a sector that has become a favorite of investors and was one of the first small cap solar stocks to attract mainstream investor interest two years ago, before green investing trend became a global trend.
Tom M. Djokovich, CEO commented, “ Timing is everything and we may have been ahead of the curve but now feel confident that our past few years of focus and research in thin film solar products has positioned us to compete in a global environment that is more educated and receptive to renewable energy technology than ever”.
According to a recent Research and Markets report: Global Solar Power Markets, “The solar photovoltaic industry has, over the years, witnessed growth at nearly 35 percent largely due to incentive driven markets of Japan and Germany. Problems such as silicon feed stock shortage and fear of removal of incentive programs have acted as major restraints for growth. However, despite these fears, there has been a steady growth in demand mainly due to price and supply vagaries of domestic electricity.”
The Company’s website is currently being updated to reflect the company’s expanding business direction, management team and technology. http://www.xsunx.com/

ICB Enhances Classification System With Real Estate Supersector and Alternative Energy Sector
ICB Enhances Classification System With Real Estate Supersector and Alternative Energy Sector
NEW YORK, Dec. 3, 2007 -- The Industry Classification Benchmark (ICB), the joint classification system launched by Dow Jones Indexes and FTSE Group, today announced that they will be enhancing their four-tier industry classification system. ICB is a detailed and comprehensive structure for sector and industry analysis, facilitating the comparison of companies across four levels of classification and national boundaries.
Additions will be made to the supersector, sector and subsector levels, beginning with the elevation of real estate to the supersector level. Seven new subsectors will be added under real estate to include more detailed classification of REITs. Additionally, ICB will recognize alternative power sources by adding an alternative energy sector under the oil & gas supersector. These changes will be effective to the ICB system on March 1, 2008.
With the integration of the above enhancements, the structure will now be based on 10 industries, 19 supersectors, 41 sectors and 114 subsectors and offers broad, global coverage of over 50,000 companies and 55,000 securities. Prior to the revisions, the ICB Structure included 10 industries, 18 supersectors, 39 sectors and 104 subsectors.
ICB's changes to the classification of real estate companies will reflect the increasingly-recognized differences between real estate firms and financial services firms, and will provide more precise categorizations of real estate companies, particularly real estate investment trusts (REITs). The real estate sector will be elevated to a supersector with a new hierarchy of real estate sectors and subsectors including real estate holding & development companies, real estate services, and REITs involved in: industrial & office, retail, residential, diversified properties, specialty properties, mortgage companies, and hotels & lodging.
Expansions to oil and gas are being made to reflect the changing energy market, specifically the proliferation of companies involved in alternative energy and alternative utilities. The oil and gas industry group and supersector will be expanded to include an alternative energy sector with renewable energy equipment and alternative fuel subsectors. The electricity sector will now be separated into conventional electricity and alternative electricity subsectors and will continue to be classified under the utilities supersector.
ICB is now in use by major stock exchanges, data distributors, index providers, buy side and sell side institutions, custodians and media organizations globally. Global financial institutions have integrated ICB into their investment workflow and financial services, including NASDAQ, NYSE/Euronext, the London Stock Exchange, the Swiss Exchange, Aegon, the International Monetary Fund and the World Economic Forum, as well as media outlets including The Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times, CNBC and Dow Jones Newswires.
James Cemprola, Managing Director, ICB commented, ``The rapid adoption of ICB is a testament to the product's comprehensive global coverage, which is increasingly becoming the industry standard. Its balanced structure makes ICB attractive to financial institutions on the buy side, sell side, independent research, custodial banks and global distributors.''

ExxonMobil Chemical's New Film Technologies Help Power Next Generation Hybrid and Electric Vehicles
HOUSTON---November 28,2007 -ExxonMobil Chemical and ExxonMobil's Japanese affiliate, Tonen Chemical, have developed new film technologies for lithium-ion batteries with the potential to improve the energy efficiency and affordability of next generation hybrid and electric vehicles.
These new film technologies are expected to significantly enhance the power, safety and reliability of lithium-ion batteries, thereby helping speed the adoption of these smaller and lighter batteries into the next wave of lower-emission vehicles.
“By developing new film technologies that allow lithium-ion batteries to meet hybrid and electric vehicle requirements, ExxonMobil Chemical is helping to make next generation vehicles more energy and cost efficient, as well as lighter,” said Jim P.

Google's Goal: Renewable Energy Cheaper Than Coal
Google's Goal: Renewable Energy Cheaper Than Coal
Creates Renewable Energy R&D Group and Supports Breakthrough Technologies
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.---November 27,2007 Google (NASDAQ:GOOG )- today announced a new strategic initiative to develop electricity from renewable energy sources that will be cheaper than electricity produced from coal. The newly created initiative, known as Renewable Energy Cheaper Than Coal, will focus initially on advanced solar thermal power, wind power technologies, enhanced geothermal systems and other potential breakthrough technologies. Renewable Energy Cheaper Than Coal is hiring engineers and energy experts to lead its research and development work, which will begin with a significant effort on solar thermal technology, and will also investigate enhanced geothermal systems and other areas. In 2008, Google expects to spend tens of millions on research and development and related investments in renewable energy. As part of its capital planning process, the company also anticipates investing hundreds of millions of dollars in breakthrough renewable energy projects which generate positive returns.
"We have gained expertise in designing and building large-scale, energy-intensive facilities by building efficient data centers," said Larry Page, Google Co-founder and President of Products. "We want to apply the same creativity and innovation to the challenge of generating renewable electricity at globally significant scale, and produce it cheaper than from coal."
Page added, "There has been tremendous work already on renewable energy. Technologies have been developed that can mature into industries capable of providing electricity cheaper than coal. Solar thermal technology, for example, provides a very plausible path to providing renewable energy cheaper than coal. We are also very interested in further developing other technologies that have potential to be cost-competitive and green. We are aware of several promising technologies, and believe there are many more out there."
Page continued, "With talented technologists, great partners and significant investments, we hope to rapidly push forward. Our goal is to produce one gigawatt of renewable energy capacity that is cheaper than coal. We are optimistic this can be done in years, not decades." (One gigawatt can power a city the size of San Francisco.)
"If we meet this goal," said Page, "and large-scale renewable deployments are cheaper than coal, the world will have the option to meet a substantial portion of electricity needs from renewable sources and significantly reduce carbon emissions. We expect this would be a good business for us as well."
Coal is the primary power source for many around the world, supplying 40% of the world's electricity. The greenhouse gases it produces are one of our greatest environmental challenges. Making electricity produced from renewable energy cheaper than coal would be a key part of reducing global greenhouse-gas emissions.
"Cheap renewable energy is not only critical for the environment but also vital for economic development in many places where there is limited affordable energy of any kind," added Sergey Brin, Google Co-founder and President of Technology.
Strategic Investments and Grants
"Lots of groups are doing great work trying to produce inexpensive renewable energy. We want to add something that moves these efforts toward even cheaper technologies a bit more quickly. Usual investment criteria may not deliver the super low-cost, clean, renewable energy soon enough to avoid the worst effects of climate change," said Dr. Larry Brilliant, Executive Director of Google.org, Google's philanthropic arm. "Google.org's hope is that by funding research on promising technologies, investing in promising new companies, and doing a lot of R&D ourselves, we may help spark a green electricity revolution that will deliver breakthrough technologies priced lower than coal."
Working with Renewable Energy Cheaper Than Coal, Google.org will make strategic investments and grants that demonstrate a path toward producing energy at an unsubsidized cost below that of coal-fired power plants. Google will work with a variety of organizations in the renewable energy field, including companies, R&D laboratories, and universities. For example, Google.org is working with two companies that have promising scalable energy technologies:
eSolar Inc., a Pasadena, CA-based company specializing in solar thermal power which replaces the fuel in a traditional power plant with heat produced from solar energy. eSolar's technology has great potential to produce utility-scale power cheaper than coal. For more information, please visit http://www.google.com/corporate/green/energy/esolar.pdf.
Makani Power Inc., an Alameda, CA-based company developing high-altitude wind energy extraction technologies aimed at harnessing the most powerful wind resources. High-altitude wind energy has the potential to satisfy a significant portion of current global electricity needs. For more information on Makani Power, please visit http://www.google.com/corporate/green/energy/makani.pdf.
Ongoing Commitments
Today's announcement represents just the latest steps in Google's commitment to a clean and green energy future.
Google has been working hard on energy efficiency and making its business environmentally sustainable. Last spring the company announced its intention to be carbon neutral for 2007, and is on track to meet that goal. To this end, the company has taken concrete steps to reduce its carbon footprint and accelerate improvements in green technology, including:
Developing cutting-edge energy efficiency technology to power and cool its data centers in the U.S. and around the world.
Generating electricity for its Mountain View campus from a 1.6 Megawatt corporate solar panel installation, one of the largest in the U.S.
Accelerating development and adoption of plug-in vehicles through the RechargeIT initiative, including a $10 million request for investment proposals (http://www.google.org/recharge/)
Joining with other industry leaders in 2007 to form the Climate Savers Computing Initiative, a consortium that advocates the design and use of more energy-efficient computers and servers (http://www.climatesaverscomputing.org/).
Working on policies that encourage renewable energy development and deployment, such as a U.S. Renewable Energy Standard, through Google.org.

Los Angeles, California, Nov. 15, 2007 - Today at the annual L.A. Auto Show, Governor Schwarzenegger highlighted the important role the newest alternate fuel and hybrid vehicles play in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in California and throughout the world. The Governor also highlighted the need for more fuel alternatives and greater fuel efficiency to help drive down high gasoline prices.

"It is fantastic to see that the world’s automakers are developing the technology to help us meet our goals in California. These cars come in every size and shape and they prove that we can give consumers the choices they want and still protect the environment," said Governor Schwarzenegger. “This is exactly the kind of innovation we need. Working together, we will ensure that California remains a leader in clean and alternative fuel vehicles and we will ensure a healthy and prosperous future for our nation.
"Imagine what we can accomplish if we improve efficiency and put more alternatives on the road, whether it is biofuels, electric cars, hydrogen or hybrids. This will also help our families with fuel prices because it’s all about supply and demand. By providing more alternatives, we can drive down oil prices from the $100 a barrel everyone is expecting."
The L.A. Auto Show is an international auto show showcasing 1,000 of the newest vehicles from 47 of the world’s automobile manufacturers. The L.A. Auto Show has become the main stage for unveiling alternative fuel vehicles as manufacturers look to California, which drives the market for hybrids and other fuel efficient vehicles, to establish trends for environmentally-friendly cars and trucks. This is the second year in a row the Governor has appeared at the show to highlight such vehicles.
Governor Schwarzenegger has made it a priority to put California at the forefront of the booming clean tech industry and to develop a robust infrastructure to support the wide use of clean energy and hydrogen power in California.
In January, Governor Schwarzenegger announced the world’s first Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) for transportation fuels that requires fuel providers to reduce the carbon intensity of transportation fuels sold in California. This first-of-its kind standard firmly establishes sustainable demand for lower-carbon fuels but without favoring one fuel over another.
The LCFS is projected to initially displace 20% of California's gasoline consumption by 2020 and increasingly more after that. It's also projected to fuel more than 7 million low carbon vehicles by 2020 in California alone - and millions more after that. It is harnessing market forces to jump-start California's and the world's transformation to a low-carbon economy.Allowing the market to do the work ensures the lowest cost and most consumer-friendly environment. Like AB 32, the LCFS will use market-based mechanisms that allow providers to choose how they reduce emissions while responding to consumer demand. For example, providers may purchase and blend more low-carbon ethanol into gasoline products, purchase credits from electric utilities supplying low-carbon electrons to electric passenger vehicles, diversify into low-carbon hydrogen and other to-be-developed strategies.
This year, Governor Schwarzenegger launched the effort that led to California filing a lawsuit against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for failing to act on California’s tailpipe emissions waiver request to regulate greenhouse gas emissions for cars and light trucks sold in the state. The Governor lobbied both President Bush and EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson to approve the request so that California can implement the nation’s cleanest standards for vehicle emissions.
In April 2004, the Governor signed an executive order creating a public and private partnership to build the Hydrogen Highway in California by 2010. The Governor opened California’s first public hydrogen fueling station in October 2004, located at Los Angeles International Airport. Currently, there are twenty-five hydrogen-fueling stations in the state. Eventually, a network of hydrogen-fueling stations will be opened throughout California making hydrogen fuel accessible to the increased number of vehicles in California.
Last year, the Governor signed the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, California’s landmark bill that established a first-in-the-world comprehensive program of regulatory and market mechanisms to achieve real, quantifiable, cost-effective reductions of greenhouse gases. The law will reduce carbon emissions to 1990 levels by the year 2020 and to 80 percent below 1990 levels by the year 2050.

“Searching” for the Best in Green Cars
How Yahoo! Google and MSN are helping to promote the Green Auto Shift
POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC – July 2, 2007 - www.RenewableEnergyStocks.com, a leading global investor and industry portal for the renewable energy sector, reports on developments in green cars and how the top three search engines, Yahoo!, Google and MSN are helping to educate consumers and promote change and innovation in the automotive sector. As Tech sector leaders Bill Gates and Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page play a leading role in investing in and deploying Greentech, they are also a driving force in changing the highways of the future.
As consumers browse the new MSN Autos Green Central they can utilize the green information center to read green car news, editorial reviews, fuel-saving ideas and see what autos are currently rated as the top 5 green vehicles. (http://editorial.autos.msn.com/specials/green/default.aspx)
Yahoo! Autos launched the Yahoo! Autos Green Center in November 2006 http://autos.yahoo.com/green_center/ and has built a strong online following in the green space as consumers visit the site to view the top 100 Green Cars and research developments in hybrids, biofuel, electric and green autos. In announcing the launch, Yahoo! Autos reported, “According to a Yahoo! survey, one in every two people is interested in learning more about alternative fuel vehicles, which signals clear consumer demand for a product like the Green Center."
Yahoo! Autos, in partnership with Environmental Defense, developed a Green Rating determining the environmental impact of vehicles on a scale of 1-100. The Green Rating is based on tailpipe pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, fuel economy and the manufacturing process, giving consumers the overall environmental friendliness of the autos on the list.
“The Green Center on Yahoo! Autos provides our users with the most comprehensive expert and social media content covering alternative fuel vehicles,” said Michael Yang, Vice President and General Manager, Yahoo! Autos. He adds, “Whether you’re searching for the top green rated vehicles or you want to connect with an online community of like-minded vehicle shoppers, the Green Center is home to the most relevant information impacting consumers today.”
Google’s mantra “Do No Harm” has taken on new dimensions as Google proactively promotes green auto initiatives through Google.org, its philanthropic arm. Google.org recently announced its RechargeIT initiative (www.google.org/recharge/) dedicated to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and oil dependence by helping to fund and bring plug-in hybrid electric vehicles to consumer markets.
Dr. Larry Brilliant, Executive Director of Google.org tells us, "Google is committed to using its resources to help solve the global climate challenge. Google.org is hybrid philanthropy, bringing together the active engagement of the broader Google Corporation, as well as investments in for-profits, traditional grants, policy work, and public information. RechargeIT brings together all of these elements to help accelerate progress on plug-ins. By demonstrating new clean energy technologies and how they can be connected to the grid, we hope to spur demand and encourage car manufacturers to make these vehicles commercially available on a large scale on an urgent basis."
Kirsten Olsen, program lead for the RechargeIT project stated, "At Google.org, we are committed to finding solutions that can dramatically cut greenhouse gas emissions and offer alternatives to fossil fuels.

POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC – July 2, 2007 - www.RenewableEnergyStocks.com, a leading global investor and industry portal for the renewable energy sector, reports on developments in green cars and how the top three search engines, Yahoo!, Google and MSN are helping to educate consumers and promote change and innovation in the automotive sector. As Tech sector leaders Bill Gates and Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page play a leading role in investing in and deploying Greentech, they are also a driving force in changing the highways of the future.
As consumers browse the new MSN Autos Green Central they can utilize the green information center to read green car news, editorial reviews, fuel-saving ideas and see what autos are currently rated as the top 5 green vehicles. (http://editorial.autos.msn.com/specials/green/default.aspx)
Yahoo! Autos launched the Yahoo! Autos Green Center in November 2006 http://autos.yahoo.com/green_center/ and has built a strong online following in the green space as consumers visit the site to view the top 100 Green Cars and research developments in hybrids, biofuel, electric and green autos. In announcing the launch, Yahoo! Autos reported, “According to a Yahoo! survey, one in every two people is interested in learning more about alternative fuel vehicles, which signals clear consumer demand for a product like the Green Center."
Yahoo! Autos, in partnership with Environmental Defense, developed a Green Rating determining the environmental impact of vehicles on a scale of 1-100. The Green Rating is based on tailpipe pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, fuel economy and the manufacturing process, giving consumers the overall environmental friendliness of the autos on the list.
“The Green Center on Yahoo! Autos provides our users with the most comprehensive expert and social media content covering alternative fuel vehicles,” said Michael Yang, Vice President and General Manager, Yahoo! Autos. He adds, “Whether you’re searching for the top green rated vehicles or you want to connect with an online community of like-minded vehicle shoppers, the Green Center is home to the most relevant information impacting consumers today.”
Google’s mantra “Do No Harm” has taken on new dimensions as Google proactively promotes green auto initiatives through Google.org, its philanthropic arm. Google.org recently announced its RechargeIT initiative (www.google.org/recharge/) dedicated to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and oil dependence by helping to fund and bring plug-in hybrid electric vehicles to consumer markets.
Dr. Larry Brilliant, Executive Director of Google.org tells us, "Google is committed to using its resources to help solve the global climate challenge. Google.org is hybrid philanthropy, bringing together the active engagement of the broader Google Corporation, as well as investments in for-profits, traditional grants, policy work, and public information. RechargeIT brings together all of these elements to help accelerate progress on plug-ins. By demonstrating new clean energy technologies and how they can be connected to the grid, we hope to spur demand and encourage car manufacturers to make these vehicles commercially available on a large scale on an urgent basis."
Kirsten Olsen, program lead for the RechargeIT project stated, "At Google.org, we are committed to finding solutions that can dramatically cut greenhouse gas emissions and offer alternatives to fossil fuels. We see plug-in hybrids and vehicle-to-grid applications as a significant step in greening the transportation sector and helping to mitigate global warming."

InvestorIdeas.com Investor Podcast “Shrewd Speculators” Provide Commentary on Investment Opportunities in Solar IPO’s and the Solar Chinese Markets
Tapping into the Long Term Potential of Solar Stocks As solar stocks experience volatility, the Shrewd Speculators discuss solar companies including Yingli Green Energy (NYSE: YGE), SunPower Corporation (NASDAQ: SPWR), Suntech Power Co., Ltd. (NYSE: STP) and others. Kevin Sylla discusses how the market and investors had to absorb the supply of multiple new entries into the market within a short period of time and as a result investors have not fully digested the potential. He feels investors may want to see the market mature as technologies improve. As Eric Axel comments, “The demand for solar power is extremely robust … but there may be too many investment vehicles to choose from for retail investors”. He went on to say- “I think this is the right sector to be in, but investors have to pick and choose and be patient.” To listen to the full Investor Podcast, as well as previous discussions by our Shrewd Speculators, please visit: www.investorideas.com/Podcasts/sspodcast.xml The audience is invited to submit questions to the Shrewd Speculators for response in future podcasts.
