Alternative energy is not that trendy now with a barrel at $50. Traders get in for the short term most of the time.
We will chase the alt energy stocks after the financial crisis. In the meantime, these stocks could evaporate very fast.
Saw the email alert. I don't understand this. where did all the momentum go? what can be hotter right now than alternative energy..

Penny Stock Alert: Utility Industry Executive to advise CleanTech Biofuels on Renewable Power Production! - (MobiWire)
There is important breaking news coming from CleanTech Biofuels, Inc. (OTCBB: CLTH), and the company should once again have investors watching this stock closely. This morning, the company issued a press release announcing that Dan W. Ziegler, Managing Director of business development for Duke Energy Generation Services, will serve as a consultant to CleanTech Biofuels as it continues to develop its municipal solid waste to renewable power production platform.
Hey Sweed, i totally agree. this was a strong company and looks like with coverage out there right now good things could be coming. Saw two interesting posts already this morning:

CLTH.OB Recognizes Missouri for Meeting Mandatory Renewable Portfolio Standards
Today after the closing bell, CleanTech Biofuels gave special recognition to Missouri for adopting Proposition C, Renewable Portfolio Standards, which requires the state’s three large investor-owned utilities to generate 15 percent of their electricity from renewable sources by 2021. With Missouri now onboard, over half the U.S. States have adopted Renewable Portfolio Standards.
The approval of this initiative tightens the voluntary standards that the Missouri legislature passed last year. The previous legislature only obligated companies to make “good-faith efforts” to reach a goal of 11 percent renewables by 2020. The overwhelming support behind this initiative demonstrates the voting public’s strong favor of developing local sources of energy, with more than 66% of the votes cast in favor of adoption.
CleanTech is currently focused on implementing its technology for the production of renewable biomass from municipal solid waste at a commercial site in Chicago, Illinois. Other sites for commercial development are also being evaluated by the company.
I think this company, has taken its hits over the past couple of mths, and I think there is a short position in here, and I feel in time this thing has the strenth and legs to break out. After the .70s level was broke through the other day, I think its just only time and we can see this company just keep getting bigger and stronger.

CLTH.OB Adds Value by Cleaning & Separating
CleanTech Biofuels, Inc. (CLTH.OB) is taking a step at reducing the amount of waste communities dispose of into landfills. From the 250 million tons of garbage American produce annually, about 14% is burned at combustion facilities while 32% are composted or recycled. Rather than placing the remaining 54% of municipal solid waste (MSW) directly into landfills, CleanTech has a set of technologies that is capable of converting the cellulosic material in MSW into locally produced biofuels. One main element of the process is CleanTech’s Pressurized Stem Classification (PSC) technology that separates and cleans the usable material.
MSW consists of a variety of waste material from air conditioners to yard waste to aluminum cans. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, 50 to 60 percent of MSW is made of cellulosic material that can be converted into usable biofuels. Currently, the only operating waste-to-energy facilities use pick and pull lines to separate the material that is burned to produce electricity. Unfortunately, high levels of toxins are present in the output from the burning process that requires sophisticated, high-cost scrubbers and cleaners to keep air quality within local, state and federal requirements.
CleanTech’s PSC technology uses a steam classification process to separate and clean various types of MSW. The MSW is first placed on a tipping floor where oversized bulky items, such as furniture and appliances, are removed by hand. The remaining material is placed into a PSC vessel that is sealed and pressurized. The MSW is then agitated, like in a washing machine, while steam is injected into the vessel. The excess moisture and volatiles are then vented and captured for destruction at the end of the process.
After the vessel is depressurized, the sterile material is conveyed to shaker screens that separate the materials into specific groups. A large portion of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is strategically separated. The VOCs are then burned in a standard thermal oxidizer to avoid the release of any toxins into the atmosphere. Steel, glass, and aluminum are recovered and sold for reuse. Any of the non-solid material placed into the PSC vessel is transformed into a cellulosic mass, called Processed Engineered Fuel (PEF), with the same consistency as compost and a moisture content of about 50%. The PEF is easily separated in the separation process as it falls through the shaker screens and is then converted into ethanol.
CleanTech has found that less than 20% of the original MSW is typically sent to a landfill. Amazingly the PSC technology allows a facility to recover between 80-90 percent of the original MSW for commercial use. The CleanTech technology is benefiting the environment in a number of ways – creating raw material for the production of ethanol, reducing the amount of toxins being released into the atmosphere through its VOC processing, and increasing the amount of recyclable materials for reuse. CleanTech has definitely found a way to turn trash into something useful.
anyone know why there was all the activity yesterday. I didn't see any new PR's or anything anywhere. Could this be a good indication
gotta love a play that 2 or 3 weeks ago came out with some good PR and it's seemed to hold its own. dipped just a little late this week but they're in a good space right now...

Ed Hennessey, CEO of CleanTech, has the company focused on developing ground-breaking technologies to convert cellulosic material found in municipal solid waste (MSW) into ethanol. Americans throw away over 250 million tons of garbage every year. Out of all that garbage, approximately 32 percent is recovered and recycled or composted, 14 percent is burned at combustion facilities, and the remaining 54 percent (or 135 million tons of garbage) is disposed of in landfills. The demand for the production of ethanol has grown to incredible levels with the recent volatility in oil prices and recently enacted legislation requiring a production rate of 36 billion gallons of ethanol per year by 2022.
Recently, CleanTech Biofuels acquired the patent crucial to their work in alternative fuels. The patent, which was formerly a sublicense of World Waste Technologies' patented process, covers the method for transforming diverse pulp and paper products into a homogenous cellulosic feedstock by process of pressurized steam. That feedstock, which is organic waste matter, is then transformed into a clean burning ethanol through a two-step process which CleanTech is perfecting.
Mr. Hennessey stated, "CleanTech has a unique and solid business foundation, and appreciates the opportunity to sponsor the Quality Stocks Newsletter, Video and Blogs. QualityStocks is providing a much needed service in the micro-cap and small-cap markets."
Michael McCarthy, Managing Director for QualityStocks,commented, "We are very pleased to have CleanTech as a featured company. The Company is methodically establishing itself as a category leader and the acquisition of their recent patent is proof of this."

CleanTech Biofuels Inc. acquired a patent from World Waste Technologies to transform pulp and paper products into cellulosic feedstock to create alternative energy.
The patent relates to the proprietary “pressurized steam classification process” that CleanTech uses for cleaning and separating municipal solid waste into its component parts. This process creates a biomass that can be used as a renewable feedstock for the production of alternative energy. CleanTech is implementing its technology at a commercial site in Chicago and is evaluating a number of additional sites for commercial development.
CleanTech Biofuels said it’s now able to file new U.S. and international patents based on the combined technologies described in the patent and those of its subsidiary Biomass North America Licensing.
St. Louis-based CleanTech Biofuels Inc. develops technologies designed to help municipalities reduce the amount of waste produced in landfills and create a source of locally produced biomass.
CleanTech BioFuels, Inc. (CLTH.OB) is "One to Watch"
CleanTech BioFuels, Inc. is focused on developing ground-breaking technologies to convert cellulosic material found in municipal solid waste (MSW) into ethanol. Out of the 250+ million tons of garbage disposed of each year in America, only 32% is recovered, 14% is burned at combustion facilities and the remaining 54% is tossed in landfills. However, using CleanTech’s technology, this unusable waste is a source of energy rather than a problem.
The company holds exclusive licenses to a collection of technologies that offer substantial advantages in converting MSW into viable energy. CleanTech is also developing an exclusive license to produce ethanol from municipal garbage by utilizing a dilute acid hydrolysis process that transforms cellulosic feedstock into fermentable sugars. Together, these technologies will allow CleanTech to produce cellulosic ethanol from municipal garbage at low costs.
Because the company has such a unique method of solving disposal issues while also addressing our dependence on foreign oils, it has been presented with opportunities to joint venture, license or acquire other related technologies that can also be used to convert municipal garbage into energy. CleanTech anticipates developing other complementary technologies to convert even greater amounts of the municipal waste stream into clean fuels.
The demand for the production of ethanol has grown to incredible levels with the recent volatility in oil prices and recently enacted legislation requiring a production rate of 36 billion gallons of ethanol per year by 2022. Ethanol from agricultural products like corn and sugar cane isn’t expected to be able to meet this mandate, creating an even stronger demand for advanced biofuels such as cellulosic ethanol.
CLTH.OB Breaks Ground Towards the Future
Cleantech Biofuels is taking the lead in the waste-to-energy industry. With many companies trying to find direction in this field, Cleantech has focused on developing ground-breaking technologies to convert cellulosic material found in municipal solid waste (MSW) into ethanol, which will help generate biofuels and other usable energy products at competitive prices.
Cleantech employs a sophisticated technology known as HFTA technology. HFTA was developed at the renowned University of California, Berkeley and has substantial advantages over any other available means to hydrolyze cellulosic material for ethanol production.
Cleantech has a game plan in place that is not only friendly to the marketplace but will put a smile across the faces of environmentalists across the world. Cleantech anticipates quickly achieving profitability by dramatically reducing pollution released into the environment by the disposal of municipal waste and reducing the costs of transporting waste long distances for disposal.
Leading the Cleantech revolution is Ed Hennessey. Hennessey serves as the company’s CEO and President and has been in charge of Cleantech and its predecessor companies since 2002. Through his tireless energy, Hennessey has developed the business strategy for the young company and has secured the existing technology licenses and required funding.
While becoming a pioneer in the waste-to-energy industry, Hennessey is also known in the business world for his brilliance in the financial market which is a reputation he earned during his time with Shearson Lehman Brothers in 1986 and ultimately opening and managing his own securities brokerage and investment banking firm which he sold in 1999.
With state-of-the-art technology and a leader like Ed Hennessey, Cleantech Biofuels may quickly become a household name.
I think this company has alot of legs, just people have to understand that before a mth ago the shorts took this company down from 1.30, I think we could see a brek out and this could go rt past there and higher. I still think there's shorts holding this one down, The resistance seems to be around .68-.70. We break past that and then it should go.
Seen a lot of press again. I like where this company has come from since 2 weeks+ ago.

With the release out yesterday, It looks like there going to try to get things back to normal levels, I think along with some naked short sellers along with probably a short loose cannon out there, selling has occured, but I think they may have gotten some of there stuff handeled and now on the way of tracking this thing back up. I guess we'll see in time.
As we all should know on here is that CLTH, is a great company and could possibly do great things, but we have had some selling, gotten knocked pretty hard but and it looks to be from naked shortselling, so there might be a squeeze sometime in the near term.

CleanTech Biofuels to Begin Producing Renewable Electricity
Monday July 28, 4:05 pm ET
ST. LOUIS, MO--(MARKET WIRE)--Jul 28, 2008 -- CleanTech Biofuels, Inc. (OTC BB:CLTH.OB - News) intends to use its proprietary technology at a commercial site in Chicago, Illinois to produce cellulosic biomass as solid fuel for the production of electricity. Beginning commercial production of biomass for electricity will allow CleanTech to develop significant revenue more quickly than originally anticipated.
Tests on the feasibility of using the biomass from CleanTech's processes for electricity production indicated that the energy value (or Btu value) is approximately 75 percent that of coal. Testing also indicates that the biomass has substantially less pollutants in emissions from combustion than other refuse derived fuels and coal.
CleanTech believes that this approach will dramatically lower the cost of its first commercial ethanol plant. By using the infrastructure it constructs for electricity production to support cellulosic ethanol production at the same site in the future, CleanTech believes that it will be able to incrementally increase the amount of MSW processed at the site daily to support both operations.
"We look at the application of biomass co-fired with coal as the low hanging fruit that can be done commercially right now," said Ed Hennessey, CleanTech CEO. "Coal prices have increased dramatically in recent years and that has increased the value of the energy content in our biomass." Hennessey further added, "We are looking to develop a plant in Chicago using the biomass as solid fuel to produce electricity with traditional debt and bond financing to fund a significant part of the development costs. When our cellulosic ethanol conversion technology is ready for commercial implementation, we hope to use the infrastructure at the existing plant to add a cellulosic conversion plant to the same site."

I know the way things are looking, it seems to be going very slow, but Im hearing rumors out there that something huge should be comming out soon. Also as most people know all it takes is one nice release or one huge day and then the short covering begins and this one could take off. Soo I guess we'll see what all the chatters about soon.
Me too, PSU.
At this price, it needs to be real.

CleanTech Biofuels Enters Agreement with Terra Vista Systems to Develop Additional Revenue Streams through Carbon Credit Protocols
Tuesday June 24, 4:46 pm ET
ST. LOUIS, June 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CleanTech Biofuels, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CLTH - News) is pleased to announce the signing of an agreement with Terra Vista Systems to develop and implement Carbon Sequestration Protocols for CleanTech's unique waste-to-ethanol processes and manage CleanTech's Carbon Credits program.
CleanTech Biofuels' novel waste-to-energy cellulosic ethanol technology systems utilize waste otherwise filling landfills to produce renewable sources of ethanol fuel locally. The Carbon Credits Protocols being integrated by Terra Vista Systems into CleanTech's systems will quantify and capitalize on Cleantech's added benefit of mitigating methane and other dangerous greenhouse gases emissions from release into the atmosphere through traditional disposal of waste in landfills.
Ed Hennessey, CEO of CleanTech BioFuels, Inc. stated: "We are pleased to be partnering with Terra Vista Systems to help ensure successful implementation of our CO2 sequestration strategies which should further our competitive advantage and tap into additional revenue streams in the developing carbon markets."
I think your rt on about that, with the short position accumulated on the stock, over the past few mths and the market makers either not representing orders or holding orders back and then seeing no more than 2k causing nite to back off and I think with some strength this should break out anytime. The next few weeks should be interesting.
Break that 1.32 and it gets fun.
Aurora Initiates Equity Research Coverage on CleanTech Biofuels (CLTH.OB)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Jun 23 14:33:52 2008 EDT
SAN DIEGO, CA, Jun 23, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) --
Aurora Equity Research, a division of Aurora Venture Communications
Group (Aurora), has initiated research coverage of CleanTech
Biofuels, Inc. (OTCBB: CLTH), the developer of revolutionary
waste-to-energy cellulosic ethanol technology systems.
In the report, Aurora Equity Research analyses identify a huge market
both domestically and internationally with positive and fast growing
trends reflecting strong growth of the industry.
The U.S. biofuel market trends have shown that the biofuel industry
in the U.S. is growing at the rate of about 40-50% annually. The
annual increase in global biofuel demand is predicted to be about 20%
per year and will reach about 28.3 billion gallons in 2011*.
CleanTech Biofuels' combination of technologies allows it to take
municipal solid waste (that the company is paid to accept) and
process it into ethanol fuel. According to the EPA, Americans produce
an estimated 229 million tons of Municipal Solid Waste ("MSW")
annually. At the estimated conversion rate using the CleanTech's
technologies [52 gallons of ethanol per ton of MSW] the annual
production of MSW represents a potential fuel source of over 6.5
billion gallons of ethanol per year.
U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman has stated that his
Department had set two important goals for biofuels. The first is to
make cellulosic ethanol a practical and cost-effective alternative to
gasoline by the year 2012. The second is to displace 30% of our
current consumption of gasoline with biofuels by the year 2030. He
further added that in order to reach this 30 by 30 goal, America must
raise its production of biofuels from the current level of five
billion gallons a year to 60 billion gallons a year. He pointed out
that the Department of Energy was very interested in cellulosic
ethanol because it seems to have the greatest near-term promise.
Vehicles on the road today can use a blend of up to 10% ethanol with
gasoline without voiding the warranty the manufacturer provides to
consumers. There are also about 5 million vehicles on the road today
that have been built to use up to 85% ethanol + 15% gasoline (known as
E-85).
The full report illustrates rapidly growing demand due the current
market climate with benefits to both investors and the environment
alike. CleanTech Biofuels has a speculative buy rating with a
$2.99-$3.99 twelve month target price. The equity research analysis
demonstrates CleanTech Biofuels as well poised to address growing
demand through the production of a clean, renewable fuel reducing our
country's dependency on foreign oil without adverse effects to our
environment or economy. The Company sees financial opportunities and
benefits from tipping fees, process license fees, tax incentives and
credits, and from resultant ethanol fuel product. To download the
complete version of the report please visit:

About CleanTech Biofuels, Inc.
CleanTech Biofuels, Inc. is developing a set of technologies that,
when combined, are capable of converting municipal solid waste into
ethanol. Their unique technology package positions them to be the
industry leader in using municipal solid waste (MSW) as the primary
feedstock for energy production. Municipal Biorefineries developed
with our technology will:
-- Reduce the costs of transporting waste long distances for disposal.
-- Dramatically reduce pollution released the disposal of municipal solid
waste.
-- Reduce the amount of material going into landfills by as much as
eighty five percent.
-- Increase the amount of recyclable materials that can be recovered from
municipal solid waste.
-- Generate biofuels and other usable energy products at competitive
prices.
By using the existing infrastructure for municipal solid waste
collection and disposal to collect biomass at a low or negative
feedstock cost, CleanTech will achieve profitability quickly relative
to other cellulosic ethanol producers who must develop their
infrastructure to collect and transport more expensive feedstocks
such as switchgrass, wood waste, or corn stover. Moreover, biomass
derived from garbage will not be subject to increases in commodity
prices that plague producers currently manufacturing ethanol from
corn. If you would like to receive e-mail announcements about

Now NEWS Today:
Monumental Market Opportunity for CleanTech Biofuels Created by Changing Political Climate
Thursday June 19, 11:18 am ET
ST. LOUIS, MO--(MARKET WIRE)--Jun 19, 2008 -- CleanTech Biofuels, Inc. (OTC BB:CLTH.OB - News), the developer of a revolutionary waste-to-fuel cellulosic ethanol technology system, voiced its support for the increased focus and attention that both Barack Obama and John McCain have given to a national energy policy and the impact of global climate change. Both candidates have vowed to mitigate carbon dioxide emissions and bolster domestic renewable energy investments.
CleanTech's technology addresses both of these issues by producing ethanol locally using waste that would otherwise end up in landfills. CleanTech's technology will significantly reduce the amount of methane and other dangerous greenhouse gases created by disposing of waste in landfills while simultaneously creating a renewable source of fuel locally. CleanTech is currently evaluating the impact that its technologies will have on carbon emissions to understand the potential benefit to its business from recent proposals by Presidential candidates and members of Congress.
Earlier this month, Republican nominee Senator John McCain launched his November election campaign by vowing to free America from dependence on foreign oil and cited his plans to cut emissions and fight global warming, which is a welcome paradigm change from the current administration's energy policy. Democratic nominee Senator Barack Obama also announced his support of plans to cap U.S. greenhouse gas emissions.
"The political tides are changing to the benefit of companies such as ours that offer sustainable clean energy solutions and sequester carbon dioxide (CO2)," stated Ed Hennessey, CEO of CleanTech Biofuels. "On the Congressional level, the climate change bill sponsored by Senators Joe Lieberman, John Warner and Barbara Boxer has been praised as one of the most important pieces of legislation in a long time." He went on to say: "Both Presidential nominees of their respective political parties, Senator McCain and Senator Obama, are in favor of carbon dioxide emissions regulation. We heartily support their efforts."
Although CleanTech's current business strategy does not depend on governmental legislation for commercial success, the passing of any form of legislation that would regulate carbon dioxide emissions could instantly open up a massive new revenue source further bolstering its business. In addition, the United States Carbon Credit Marketplace being proposed by both Presidential candidates may facilitate the added benefit for CleanTech Biofuels to sell carbon credits created by their processing of municipal waste into ethanol fuel which mitigates carbon dioxide emissions to help finance development of commercial plants.
COO of CleanTech Biofuels, Michael Kime, commented further to say: "We are in full support of these legislative efforts. It is possible that a successful bill may take a different shape than the current Senate proposal, but we believe that serious political action is highly likely to occur no later than early next year. Either way, active deliberation of this legislation is favorable for CleanTech Biofuels."
"It is such an exciting time to be living and working in this industry," continued Mr. Kime. "Since announcing our preliminary data earlier this month, we have received numerous inquiries from very promising prospective business partners which we expect could be announced in the coming weeks and months. The outlook is exceptionally encouraging. There aren't many entrepreneurial opportunities in a person's lifetime where one can create great value while serving a noble cause. John Doerr, the legendary Silicon Valley venture capitalist, stated it well when he said that stopping global climate change is the largest economic opportunity of the 21st century, and a moral imperative. We agree and are thrilled to help meet this challenge."

CleanTech Biofuels Addresses Rising Global Food Costs and Sustainable Waste to Energy Cellulosic Ethanol Technology Solutions
Tuesday June 17, 9:35 am ET
ST. LOUIS, MO--(MARKET WIRE)--Jun 17, 2008 -- CleanTech Biofuels, Inc. (OTC BB:CLTH.OB - News) is pleased to announce a growing number of executive interviews being conducted with media regarding the key role CleanTech Biofuels' cellulosic ethanol technology can play to help alleviate US foreign dependency for oil by developing biofuels sourced from municipal solid waste.
Aurora Venture Communications Group is now featuring an online webcast audio interview with Mr. Michael Kime, COO of CleanTech Biofuels, Inc., who also Co-Wrote and Co-Produced the award winning feature documentary, "Can Mr. Smith Get to Washington Anymore?" The interview covers a range of topics including Mr. Kime's personal insights into the conflux of environmental and political forces that are driving the market and the media's interest in waste-to-energy technology. The interview can be found online at: http://www.avcg.net/CLTH.
Additional interviews with Edward Hennessey, CEO of CleanTech Biofuels, Inc. and COO, Michael Kime were conducted on the following radio shows:
Wise Money w/ Brian and Gerro -- KERR, Bakersfield, CA (2 appearances)
KFNN Business for Breakfast w/ Ken Morgan & Julie Dougherty -- KFNN, Phoenix, AZ
Fort Wayne Mornings w/ Charly Butcher -- WOWO, Fort Wayne, IN (2 appearances)
Traders Nation (National Syndication)
CEO of CleanTech Biofuels, Inc., Edward Hennessey, commented: "As ethanol production from food crops has exploded in recent years, there are increasing concerns over the amount of arable land once used for food production being displaced for energy crops. Additionally, concerns have been raised regarding the energy and pollution balance of other methods of ethanol production. Consequently our business model which leverages the existing infrastructure for municipal solid waste collection and disposal to collect biomass at a low or negative feedstock cost is beginning to receive the recognition we feel it deserves."
Hennessey further stated: "We believe that we will achieve profitability quickly relative to other cellulosic ethanol producers who must develop their infrastructure to collect and transport more expensive feedstocks such as switchgrass, wood waste, or corn stover. Moreover, biomass derived from garbage should not be subject to increases in commodity prices that plague producers currently manufacturing ethanol from corn."
Sweed and PSU- thanks for the posts
the information and opinions make supreme sense to me. So does cellulosic ethanol.
