      Obama's Green Obsession: More Harm Than Good?
      It's funny to read these comments and all these "I need a sandwich" guys.

      Let's throw billions at renewable energy and witness one of the largest corporate welfare gives ever.

      1) Renewable energy is profitable. Read a frigging 10k/q for the solar guys. NO handout needed.

      2) Renewable energy is an transitory system. Lets give millions (or was it billions) of jobs to a system that will displace them within 24 months. Nice planning. How many guys will it take to build and install windmills? How many guys and how long will it take to install solar panels when we have even one of the hundred breakthroughs these guys keep talking about? Energy density delivered will lower time and cost of install to a fraction of today's time.

      Hire a million guys. Sixteen months later, one of these new gee whiz things hits and now we lay off 950,000 guys. Brilliant.

      It's all politic speak. Combine hiring tons of people with the word green and even the dumbest guy could get laid.

      And another thing for all you "Manhattan Project" types. Earth to dreamers -- Earth to dreamers, WE ALREADY HAVE A MANHATTAN PROJECT! It's been going on for three years and take one look at private capital through the venture capital community deployed. Incredible numbers. Never trust anyone that says we need another "Manhattan Project" They clearly are behind the curve.

      All Obama and his people need to do is remove the incentives. The renewable companies will then be forced to compete and the price will plummet per installed watt. Then and only then will the much vaunted green revolution arrive.

      Get with the picture people...

      5 Reasons Why the $700B Bailout Could Translate to $250 Oil
      My God! Why do people posit such nonsense.

      Peak Oil is a scam.

      Demand destruction is permanent.

      21st Century energy technology is COMING!

      China and India demand is a complete distortion.

      To base a thesis on ill founded trading theory and outlier trading days signifies someone not steeped in the market being commented on.

      Really terrible... $250 ppbl... c'mon...

      5 Stocks to Buy if Obama Wins
      Obama has an abysmal voting record for renewables. Witness his "missing votes" for the current problem with the Fed tax credits. Shameful.

      Moreover, you do realize he has taken more money from the nuclear energy industry than nay other politician -- ever, and Illinois has more nuclear power plants than any other US State. I think you listed GE for the wrong reasons...

      LDK Solar: A New Business Model
      Q. Why hasn't Wall Street reacted to LDK.

      A. I suspect it is due to the fact that LDK is a very new kid on the block, and not well covered in the US publications.

      Huh???? How about all the media coverage it got back last year? TONS of coverage but all the wrong kind...

      IAM PHREE... cute. That implies a value of zero.

      "Also, transporter system developers were recently dealt a blow when it was discovered that existing matter-to-energy-to-ma... conversion processes are unable to address changes in angular momentum that result when source-destination deltas from the mean gravitational core are as little as a few angstroms apart, resulting in the transported object or person being hurled into outer space."

      Or you come out the other end with your pants on your head. This is now a necessity. I never trusted that damned thing anyways...

      With Help from California, Solar Gets Fired Up
      Nacho or gaucho whatever... Sell your brand of crazy somewhere else. I heard your public library is having a secret Bilderberg meeting tonight at 7 PM sharp. You'd better be there on time before the the rest of the "enlightened"... drink all the free coffee and horde the free donuts...

      lol... seriously...

      And BTW. The CA solar plan ($3.2bn) takes money every month directly from the disadvantaged and poor to pay for overpriced PV systems for rich homeowners. Fact. And that part isn't lol.

      Eye on Currency Impact and ETFs
      Hey "Mr Germany" So which hedge fund/PE fund with $billions AUM (sorry Deutsche Marks, because the Germans are "tired" of the Euro) did you say you run again? I mean with your level of technical expertise in all things market and you incredible investing record -- the "pikers" must be throwing money at you to run, right?

      lol...

      "Whats Not"

      Private Jets.

      Says who? Look at the premium you need to jump to the front of the delivery line for any number of small to medium size private jets. The only place I know of taking immediate deposits are on some of the larger planes like the Falcon 7x and the Global Express. The G650 is dear but can be found. Maybe the fractionals are slowing but people still want the private jet.

      Down again today... I guess all the foamy mouthed experts have some more splaining to do...

      Weren't you all saying something like this?

      "Idiots have no idea how anything works at anytime under any circumstance! Don't you know we have PEAK OIL and CHINA & INDIA which now have 50 trillion middle class people that all want SUVs and swimming pools! Face it, America is over and China (or maybe Bangladesh -- newbie Du Jour) will soon be kicking out your local Starbucks so they can put in a new steaming dog restaurant!"

      What a bunch of suckers. I'm glad you exist. I need a new Ferrari. (Rosso Corsa 599 GTB with alternating red over black stitching thank you very much) Notice I said new...

      What have you heard re seismic activity being created from GT operations Tom? Out here in CA (Wine Country) it's being seriously thought of as a contributor and potential of very dangerous introduction to seismic activity.

      Nobody seems to know for sure but people are spooked, which, as you can imagine isn't good for business...

      Crude Oil: What Goes Up Must Come Down?
      "He posits that not only are we at peak oil, but we are at peak energy."

      Well I'll posit we are at (or damned close) near peak demand. The tired ol "India & China" story is well -- tired. Spend one single afternoon looking at innovation coming on stream from about 1,000 different directions funded to the tune of billions and driven by some of the smartest people you haven't yet met.

      The company(s) delivering game changing energy solutions will make Google look like a rounding error...
