This year I decided to try organic weed and feed (66% was corn meal), but I had mixed results with it.

I believe it was corn meal or glutton, it primarily works as a crab grass prohibiter.

I didn’t know that the Cuyahoga catching on fire was the start of Earth day! Interesting!

I read a couple of days ago, they put one in a high-end meat processing plant in Italy. The combined heat and power is going to save them a fortune.

It’s an interesting technology, because it is so versatile. And, that is the future of energy, versatility in sources. That’s why I think electricity, DME and microturbines are attractive. If one energy source becomes scarce or expensive, you can easily switch to another source.

as a longtime investor (and believer) in CPST and its amazing technology I’d just like to add that the microturbines are not only used on oil rigs and data centers but also

- in Hybrid electric busses made by DesignLine operating in NYC
- in Wastewater treatment plants to produce energy from the waste gas
- as an addon to Wesco boilers to increase their efficiency
- as of today in maritime applications to generate the energy in ships

and the list goes on and on.

Thanks for your question.

I have been following alternate energy sources and products ever since I read about the Chevy Impact (GM EV1) in Popular Science. I thought immediately that EVs were the way of the future. They have a simple design, low operating costs, low maintenance and no pollution. Unfortunately, California whimped out on their EV mandate, GM crushed up the EV1s and we lost 10 years of progress. But, EVs are back and better than ever. I intend to buy a Ford Focus EV when they become available next year. The Nissan Leaf is also nice and affordable.

I follow three blogs daily to keep up with the technology, All Cars Electric, Autoblog Green and Gas 2.0. And, the more I read and learn about EVs, the more I realized that it’s just the beginning. Once people start to drive EVs, they will also want solar panels and other alternate energy products. I keep thinking the changes in energy could be the next big thing, just as computers and the Internet were in past decades. It has been slow to develop, but I am positioning my investments anyway. Between the pollution issues, developing nations and peak oil, something has to change. We can’t have 5 billion people driving gasoline powered vehicles.

Pollution in the devloping world is pretty scary. I always see visions of those poor people burning our techno trash and poisoning their village, just to get the little bits of gold. Man, it’s sad and we aren’t helping in any meaningful way.

I am optimistic about one thing though. I think the electrification of cars, scooters and motorcycles are going to benefit the third world as much or more than us. The reason is, once the mass production of EVs takes hold, they are going to be much cheaper to buy and operate then internal combustion vehicles. Six dollars is a lot of money for a gallon of gas to someone in Indonesia. Hopefully, they will recycle the batteries properly.

I really like the thoughtful industry picks. How do you know so much about energy/alternative energy products?
