Green Energy/Technology Companies

[Perfectstorm]

Check out MKBY folks. The first of it's kind Wind Turbine is in it's final stage and being tested with positive results. This one may be a multi bagger. You can see the build process on the MKBY board. They are at the site right now programming the unit and test spun it today with amazing results.

Your own DD is always required.

"Welcome to the board, lets have some great discussions with regards to Green Energy/Technology Companies..." Those words were addressed to this board with the fist post. What extremely hollow words they actually turned out to be. Unless FASC was discussed, there was nothing else to discuss. And, in all honesty, FASC has not yet proven to any investor's satisfaction that it is an actual Green enery/ Technology Company in any sense of the word.

Many posts were added about other companies and countries. Yet, they were never, ever discussed. Once the fasceteers disappeared, so to went this false board.

It cannot be stated that there isn't enough material about Green Energy/Technology Companies, as there are many reported weekly in the Renewable Energy Focus E-News. However, FASC is never shown in any of their reports. One wonders why?

It would serve all if Matt Brown would put this board out of its missery and delete it.

Of course...

Alcoholic fuel cells?

NEW MEXICO, USA, January 6, 2009. Teams of researchers and scientists in New Mexico are exploring the possibility of using biofuels such as ethanol for fuel cells.

A grant from the Department of Energy’s (DoE) EPSCoR programme has brought together research faculties from the University of New Mexico, New Mexico State University, New Mexico Tech and Eastern New Mexico University as well as researchers from Los Alamos National Laboratory and Sandia National Labs to explore the possibility of making usable fuel cells from ethanol.

The grant amounts to US$750,000 per year for up to six years for the research groups, which wish to find out whether ethanol can be reformed to produce hydrogen. If possible, they will build on the results to explore how direct electrochemical oxidation of ethanol might work. The research is expected to result in a new family of materials.

US solar PV activity rising


WASHINGTON, D.C., USA, January 6, 2009. The US solar photovoltaic industry saw a 50% increase in shipments in 2007, according to a report from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), part of the Department of Energy (DoE).

The overview report “Solar Photovoltaic Cell/Module Manufacturing Activities 2007” show that the industry is now more than ten times the size it was in 1998.

There was a 53% increase in PV cell and module shipments totalling 517.7 MWp in 2007. Crystalline silicon cells and modules still dominate the market with a 60% share of all shipments, but thin-film has seen a doubling to 202.5 MWp since 2005. Concentrated PV made up on only 1% of shipments.

Total revenue from PV cells and module shipments grew 49% from US$1.16 billion in 2006 to US$1.72bn in 2007. The average price for modules decreased by about 4% to US$3.37/Wp, but for PV cells, the average price increased more than 9% to US$2.22/Wp.

More than a third of the shipments were for the domestic US market with the commercial sector receiving 50% of deliveries. Imports made up 46% of the total shipments.

There were 46 US PV manufacturers and/or importers in 2007, compared to 41 in 2006 and direct employment in the industry has risen by 53% to 6,170 people. Of the 46 companies active in 2007, up to 19 are expecting to introduce crystalline silicon products, up to six companies are planning to introduce new thin-film products, and two companies are expecting to provide new CPV products in 2008.

The report touches upon the silicon shortages that have come as a result of a booming industry, but says the supply problem has led to innovation for using silicon more effectively and efficiently through thin-film technologies.

DoE: US$200m for biorefinery projects

WASHINGTON, D.C., USA, January 6, 2009. The US Department of Energy (DoE) has announced up to US$200 million over six years (2009-2014) to support the development of pilot and demonstration-scale biorefineries.

The funding, which is subject to annual appropriations, would go to biorefineries using feedstock such as algae, and production of advanced biofuels such as bio-butanol, green petrol and other innovative biofuels.

“This funding opportunity will look for the most promising technologies that can advance the potential of renewable biomass as a resource for second generation transportation biofuels,” says Acting Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy John F. Mizroch. “The Department of Energy will select breakthrough integrated biorefinery projects that have technical and economic performance data at the bench or pilot scale to prove they are ready to move a step closer toward commercial readiness.”

The funding is for two topic areas of biorefinery development:

- Pilot-scale, minimum throughput of one dry tonne of feedstock per day with a minimum non-federal cost-share at 3%.
- Demonstration-scale minimum throughput of 50 dry tonnes of feedstock per day, with a minimum non-federal cost-share at 50%.

DoE anticipates making approximately 5-12 awards under this announcement, depending on the topic area, and size of awards. The intent is to have integrated biorefinery projects at the pilot and demonstration scale levels operational within three to four years after applicants are selected.

All projects must be located within the US, use feedstock from domestic biomass resources, and demonstrate significant greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions on a lifecycle basis. The funding adds to the over US$1 billion DoE has committed to research, development, and demonstration of cellulosic biofuels technology.

Landmark agreement on renewables, but EU climate change package underwhelms

BRUSSELS, BELGIUM, December 12 2008. News coming out of Brussels sees the renewables industry breathe a sigh of relief as EU Heads of State leave the renewables directive largely untouched, but other parts of the EU's package that are supposed to deal with climate change - namely carbon trading or "cap and trade" - will not be so lucky.

While the headline 20% reduction in Greenhouse Gases by 2020 was always considered untouchable, the cost of achieving this has led to fierce negotiation and self-interest from Eastern European countries such as Poland, not to mention the huge industrial lobby in Europe. And in a stunning u-turn from earlier versions of the Bill, industrial sectors such as cement, chemicals and steel will now receive free carbon emission permits at least up to 2020, instead of having to buy them under an auction scheme, as previously planned.

The concession represented a victory for Germany, by far Europe’s largest manufacturing nation. It means that revenues from the EU’s auction procedures – once forecast to hit €50bn a year by 2020 – are now expected to be closer to €30bn. This will minimise the incentive for cleaner technologies, not to mention give a huge windfall to recipients of the free permits, argue many experts. And for central and eastern European countries such as Poland that are burdened with highly polluting power sectors from the communist era, a deal was struck that will ease the financial pain of switching to a low-carbon economy.

When it comes to the renewables directive however, the news is far better. The main 20% by 2020 target is still in place, and all of the original Member States' burden sharing targets have survived. There had been fears that last minute mischief making from the Austrian Government - who had decided to question the Austrian national objective of 34% of renewable energy share in final energy consumption by 2020 - would put at risk the agreement on the RES Directive reached by the Council, the European Parliament and the European Commission.

But this was resolved, along with some other major sticking points that came to the fore in the last few weeks: A controversial 2014 "review clause"- demanded by the Italians and the source of much anger from renewables activists who saw this as a potential red light to those that would invest in the renewables sector - did make the final cut, but crucially all individual Member State targets (not to mention the headline 20% by 2020 target) are set in stone and cannot be changed, regardless of the clause.

On renewables trade, Member States will also be able to decide themselves whether (and to what extent) they will engage with other Member States, rather than have mandatory trading forced upon them, something that could have endangered national support schemes. And also on the thorny issue of biofuels a compromise of sorts has been thrashed out, say sources: the 10% transport target has been retained, but this will include cars and trains running on electric power (electric cars count 2.5 times towards the target due to increased efficiency), while the European Commission is to report within two years on the impact on land use of biofuels and on their "sustainability."

"The Renewables Directive is a breakthrough for the deployment of renewables in the EU providing binding EU targets and a stable long-term investment framework," highlights Dirk Hendricks, Director of the EU Liaison Office of the World Future Council.

EU renewables deal in doubt?

Stop press: Deal agreed - story will be updated shortly.

BRUSSELS, BELGIUM, December 11 2008. Despite widespread celebration and media reports that complex negotiations surrounding the EU renewable energy directive had apparently been brought to a successful conclusion with a deal done and dusted, those close to the process aren't taking anything for granted.yet.

And it seems that they are right to be cautious - as rumours surface that Austria has thrown a last minute spanner in the works. According to European Renewable Energy Council (EREC), the Austrian Government has decided to question the Austrian national objective of 34% of renewable energy share in final energy consumption by 2020, and thus "put at [risk] the agreement on the RES Directive reached by the Council, the European Parliament and the European Commission".

This would come with massive disappointment after the past few weeks' frenetic activity. There had been initial fears that some major sticking points would not be resolved before the end of the French Presidency in a few weeks time, but on this front at least the fear seems to have been unfounded. A controversial 2014 "review clause"- demanded by the Italians and the source of much anger from renewables activists who saw this as a potential red light to those that would invest in the renewables sector - has apparently made the final cut. But crucially all individual Member State targets (not to mention the headline 20% by 2020 target) are set in stone and cannot be changed, regardless of the clause.

On trade, Member States will be able to decide themselves whether (and to what extent) they will engage with other Member States, rather than have mandatory trading forced upon them, something that could have endangered national support schemes. And also on the thorny issue of biofuels a compromise of sorts has been thrashed out, say sources: the 10% transport target has been retained, but this will include cars and trains running on electric power (electric cars count 2.5 times towards the target due to increased efficiency), while the European Commission is to report within two years on the impact on land use of biofuels and on their "sustainability."

With this in mind, there had been widespread reporting of a "successful conclusion to the negotiations" from lobby and industry groups and NGOs, but some advise caution, pointing out that until the new document has been ratified by Heads of State, last minute problems and negotiating positions - such as that from Austria - are still likely to arise. But with COP 14 taking place this week in Poznan, Poland, EU ministers are now being urged to put an end to the speculation and quickly sign up to the Renewables Directive, something that will see Europe serve as an example to the world on what needs to be done to seriously help address climate change.

"The Renewables Directive is a breakthrough for the deployment of renewables in the EU providing binding EU targets and a stable long-term investment framework," highlights Dirk Hendricks, Director of the EU Liaison Office of the World Future Council, "Heads of EU Governments need now to stick to their commitment."

Wind dying down?

LONDON, UK, December 4, 2008. The global economic turmoil has started having an impact on the wind energy industry in Europe, according to Frost & Sullivan, who say some companies are cutting down forecasts and production for 2009.

“The current economic situation is slowly affecting the wind energy industry,” says Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Gouri Nambudripad. “We are going to see a slowing down of the double-digit growth rates that were witnessed in the past few years. Some market players are reducing their aggressive production and development targets and this is going to trickle down the supply chain”.

This situation could have positive effects, however, like a reduction in turbine prices and the reduction of delivery times of components leading to a more balanced demand-supply situation.

In the last three or four years, the demand for components has been growing tremendously. To secure supplies of critical components such as gearboxes and bearings, wind turbine producers have been resorting to various strategies such as vertical integration and signing long-term contracts with suppliers and sub-suppliers.

Calmer times ahead

With the current financial situation, however, the strategies of the component suppliers as well as those of turbine manufacturers will be different, considering a slowing down of demand of turbines and thereby the components for those wind turbines, the analyst writes.

The new reality will foster a fiercer competition between the suppliers turning into a growth opportunity for those who are capable of reducing their costs and prices faster. Other factors contributing to the fall in prices include falling prices for raw materials and construction services.

The sharp decrease in raw materials prices such as steel and copper will inevitably induce the decrease in equipment prices. For example, steel prices reached a record high in June-September 2008 for then to crush down to December 2007 levels in less than three months. Not only are the prices affected but also the delivery times as steel mills are starving for new orders and the lead times on new orders have reduced dramatically.

The decrease in raw materials and component costs coupled with the on-going government support extended to green energy industry is likely to sustain the demand for wind turbines but it is paramount for the industry to maximise the performance of the existing assets and address the remaining technical issues. In doing so, the wind industry is likely to emerge stronger and fitter when the crisis is over.

Found this old piece of news, Not a very good sign for ethanol producers.

Alternative Energy ethanol company shutting down


Jun 26, 2008 (The Kansas City Star - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via
COMTEX) -- Alternative Energy Sources Inc. is ceasing operations after being
unable to expand its ethanol management consulting business and failing to raise
money to build an ethanol plant.

The Kansas City ethanol company, in a filing Wednesday with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, said it would take a $3.1 million charge for closing the
business, including $2.5 million associated with its proposed ethanol plant in
Boone County, Iowa.

Alternative Energy said its remaining employees will be "furloughed" next
Tuesday. The company did not provide the number of workers.

Mark Beemer, chief executive officer, will also serve as chief financial officer
as the company winds down.

After a board meeting Monday, four company directors resigned: Lee L. Blank, W.
Gordon Snyder, John D. McNamara and A. Michael Espy, who served as agriculture
secretary during the Clinton administration.

Ethanol companies have struggled recently as financing has dried up and corn
prices have risen. Another Kansas City ethanol company, Ethanex, filed for
bankruptcy earlier this year.

Alternative Energy signaled in April that it would have to cease operations if
it didn't find financing and said it was concentrating on expanding its
consulting business. In May, the company sued Louis Zehil, a Florida attorney,
for $1.65 million for allegedly engaging in insider trading of the company's
stock.

Dec. 6, 2007
Xcel Energy announces renewable energy project selections

Minnesota Valley Alfalfa Producers, Raymond, Minn., to research the application of a new, energy-efficient technology to process a variety of biomass feedstock to expand the resource options for biomass energy production, $1 million.

Proposal: Researching the Use of KDS (Kinetic Disintegration System) to Process Various Feedstocks for Biomass Pelletization Use

The project research centers on designing and fabricating changes in machinery originally used for pulverizing ores and minerals to process and pelletize various feedstocks for renewable energy applications. The resulting pellet products will be used for energy production by co-firing with coal, in combined heat and power (CHP) applications, for gasification, and/or used in biofuel production. Examples of feedstocks that will be explored include sweet corn silage, distiller’s grain, sorghum and millet, municipal byproducts (trees, grass clippings) paper sludge, and switchgrass.


FIRST NEXGEN GRANT RECIPIENTS ANNOUNCED
http://www.house.leg.state.mn.us/members/pressreleasels85.asp?district=13B&pressid=3850&party=1&memid=10300
November 7, 2008
State Representative Al Juhnke joined Governor Pawlenty today in announcing the first round of recipients of the NexGen grants for bioenergy projects. Eleven proposals out of 28 submissions were approved by the NexGen Renewable Energy Board, which was created during the last legislative session and is co-chaired by Rep. Juhnke.

The Minnesota Valley Alfalfa Producers (MNVAP) in Priam, an existing agricultural cooperative involved in the feed product pelleting industry, was awarded $400,000 to help pay for the installation of new feedstock drying equipment. This equipment will allow the coop to handle higher moisture feedstocks at a lower cost and significantly reduce the use of fossil fuel in the production system.

“The development of less expensive biomass pellet production will be critical in moving this market forward,” said Juhnke. “We chose this proposal for funding in part because of the opportunity to build upon an established company with existing capacities and infrastructure.”

Heading toward energy independence, pellet by pellet
November 1, 2007

We know that the bio-mass industry is set to explode, we want to be a part of that,” stated MnVAP General Manager Duane Hultgren.

MnVAP has believed to have acquired a breakthrough in pelletization production through their purchase of a prototype Kinetic Disintegration System (KDS).

According to a MnVAP executive summary, the KDS technology was originally created for use in pulverizing ores and minerals.

Representatives of MnVAP traveled to Ontario, Canada to see the KDS in action and discovered that it was substantially superior to their existing machinery. Whereas the old infrastructure required separate operations for both the drying and compacting of material such as alfalfa, the KDS machine was able to dry and compress at once.

Hultgren stated that the KDS is much more efficient in that no natural gas is required to dry the material, it captures all dust, and there is a 20% reduction in electricity per ton. For perspective, MnVAP currently produces 40,000 tons of pelletized product per year.

With the KDS machine's obvious potential, the MnVAP co-op invited a number of politicians, DNR representatives, and members of the press to view the operation this past Friday so that MnVAP could state a case for assistance.

In all, seven senators with their respective entourage, from regions urban, which included Energy and Community Development Chair, Senator Ellen Anderson (DFL-St.Paul), and regions rural, including, Energy Subdivision Chair Senator Gary Kubly (DFL-Granite Falls)

A Minnesota cooperative returns its founding vision of biomass energy
Apr - June 2008 (Vol. 17, No. 2)

Minnesota Valley Alfalfa Producers started plans to generate electricity from alfalfa stems 14 years ago. But after investing six years of effort and millions of dollars, the farmer-owned cooperative was forced to pull the plug on the project when its partners dropped out.

Despite its rocky start, MnVAP went on to became one of the nation’s largest alfalfa pellet mills, says Montevideo farmer Keith Poier, MnVAP chair. And now — as Minnesota pursues ambitious renewable-energy goals — MnVAP has returned to its founding vision of biomass power. The cooperative wants to supply biomass fuel pellets to Minnesota’s growing renewable-energy sector.

Late last year, the cooperative received a $1 million renewable-energy grant from the Xcel Energy Renewable Development Fund. MnVAP will use the grant money to test a new technology for grinding and drying high moisture agricultural fibers, such as wood, native grasses and crop residues.

MnVAP will work with AURI and Canadian equipment manufacturer First American Scientific Corporation to test a biomass pulverizing method known as a kinetic disintegration system or KDS. KDS was originally developed for the mining industry, Poier says. Now it’s being used by other industries that need to grind and dry materials before condensing them into pellets.





PRINCE GEORGE, B.C. WASTEWATER TREATMENT

October 31, 2005
First American Scientific Corp (FASC - OTCBB) signs agreement with the City of Prince George to install KDS Micronex equipment for processing sewage sludge at their wastewater treatment facility

Brian Nichols, President of First American Scientific Corp. (FASC) announced today the signing of an MOU with the city of Prince George, BC, Canada to assist in solving its environmental cleanup problems with sewage sludge using the KDS Micronex system. "This will be the first operation of its kind in the world, says David Dungate, FASC's VP of marketing, where the strictly regulated Class B municipal sludge can now be cleaned, bagged and profitably sold to the public as a soil amendment." The initial runs will be monitored for three months, and if satisfactory, the city plans to establish a permanent facility utilizing up to 4 micronizers.

According to Dayton & Knight, the city's consulting engineers, "the series of tests undertaken this summer 2005 at FASC's Vancouver demonstration site confirmed the ability of the KDS Micronex to consistently convert Class "B" biosolids to Class "A" biosolids and achieved an effective pathogen destruction rate of 99.9 % in all test samples"

FASC believes the KDS Micronex could become the preferred universal solution for handling Class B sludge by converting municipal waste into a valuable resource. With the successful showcase of our system's ability in Prince George, Canada, we could see our system in use all across the developing world.

There are approximately 15,000 municipal wastewater treatment plants in North America alone that process almost 34 billion gallons of domestic sewage and other wastewater each day. In Asia and Europe the markets are even larger, and FASC is well poised to service those markets through its established network of licensees and affiliates in the U.K., Poland, the USA, Canada, Malaysia, and Japan.

MBI, SunEthanol to scale-up fermentation method

http://www.biomassmagazine.com/article.jsp?article_id=1983

By Anna Austin

Web exclusive posted August 29, 2008 at 12:32 p.m. CST

In response to the increasing market demand for cellulosic biofuels, SunEthanol Inc. has formed a partnership with MBI International to scale-up a fermentation method that will utilize SunEthanol’s Q-Microbe which effectively digests and ferments cellulosic feedstocks to ethanol in a single-step process.

Dr. Sarad Parekh, vice president of research and development at SunEthanol, said the company was impressed by MBI’s multidisciplinary expertise, rigorous and disciplined scale-up approach, and specialized on-site pilot-plant facilities. MBI has 25 years of experience in fermentation technologies and process scale-ups, and has frequently partnered with universities and end-user companies to pull early innovations toward commercialization.

Bobby Bringi, president and chief executive officer of MBI, said his company minimizes risk by demonstrating commercial viability at meaningful pilot-scale. He expects MBI to bring several assets to the table in this partnership. “One of them is expertise relating to fermentation and scale-up processes,” he said. “We’ve been doing it for a long time. Secondly, we also have the bench and pilot-scale fermentation infrastructure in our facility.” Bringi added that a third element MBI possesses is a unique expertise in biomass processing and pretreatment.

Currently, MBI is actively working to scale-up AFEX, an ammonia fiber expansion biomass pretreatment technology developed at Michigan State University. “That is something that we can combine with our traditional fermentation process,” Bringi said. “So we believe it’s kind of a unique combination. And since the whole idea is to use biomass-based feedstocks as the substrate for the fermentation process, this is what MBI will bring to the table—the expertise and infrastructure to collaborate with companies to de-risk new technologies.”

Bringi said MBI has a great deal of experience that will be brought into the partnership. “One example of a successful process that we’ve helped to scale-up and de-risk is the polylactic acid (PLA) process that we developed with Cargill Inc.,” Bringi said. “This was some years ago, but it is an example of an important part of our track-record.” The PLA biodegradable plastics technology is now broadly in use around the world in both fibers used in clothing and carpets, as well as in plastic for food containers, garbage bags and car parts.

“MBI’s mission is to accelerate bio-based technologies from early stage to practical application,” Bringi concluded.

U.S. Farm Bill to Aid Cellulosic Ethanol Production

http://www.thebioenergysite.com/news/704/us-farm-bill-to-aid-cellulosic-ethanol-production

Washington, D.C. - The US recently passed a farm bill that includes US $1 billion in funds for renewable energy programs and new feedstock production for bioenergy, reports Renewable Energy World.

The bill reauthorizes several programs, including the 2002 Farm Bill's energy title. Programs include grants and loan guarantees for rural communities and farmers to install renewable energy and energy efficiency systems, feedstock diversification and production and biomass research and development.

The farm bill is expected to help pave the way for companies like BlueFire Ethanol that are working to increase U.S. biofuels production through its patented, commercially viable and profitable system that transforms cellulosic waste into ethanol.

BlueFire Ethanol is one of six ethanol companies awarded funding from the U.S. Department of Energy for its planned ethanol production facility using cellulosic wastes diverted from landfills in Southern California. The facility will produce approximately 17 million gallons of cellulosic ethanol per year from green waste, wood waste and other cellulosic urban wastes.

Once again, the old "apples and oranges" and "DUH!" tricks.

The so-called current Korean deal is not with the same firm, is it? Time will tell if those machines to the new one ever get delivered. And, lets not forget they have to be "tested," a major downfall for FASC over the many, many years.

Again, are the two sold to Malaysia to the same firm? Lets assume for arguments sake they are. Isn't that a far cry from thirty, or five a year? And, you most certainly do have an idea. Why you bragged about it for months. Maybe you'd like some of your old posts about it posted here.

Hmmm! For a deal you "supposedly" don't remember, why would you have written this?

Controversy, Benefits of Brazilian Sugarcane Based Ethanol Chemicals and Fuels
http://biz.yahoo.com/iw/080909/0431671.html

This market blurb might have some items of interest for FASC shareholders:
As the Brazilian ethanol industry plans to boost ethanol demand abroad and expand markets, industry participants Cosan, SA (CSAN3.SA) (CZZ - News), Industrial Biotechnology Corporation (Other OTC:IBOT.PK - News), the EPA, John McCain and The Brazilian Sugarcane Industry Association comment on the benefits of sugarcane ethanol.

Brazil is expanding its production and will harvest 12% more cane than last year, with plans to increase ethanol exports 25%. Brazil is currently the second largest producer of ethanol in the world, after the US...

According to Antonio Henrique Prado, manager for International Business Development of Cosan (CSAN3.SA), a Brazil-based company active in the production of sugar and ethanol, "Currently 10% of Cosan's revenues are related to ethanol exports. Even though exports are growing, the robust domestic demand for hydrous ethanol (due to the increasing Brazilian flex-fuel fleet) will likely keep exports importance within Cosan's revenues mix stable in the near term. Over the medium and long-term, exports importance tends to increase."
He notes Sugarcane ethanol provides several advantages over other feedstocks.

He also goes on to say, "The challenge for the Brazilian ethanol industry is to boost ethanol demand abroad, which can be achieved by clarifying the benefits related to sugarcane ethanol adoption and developing alternative suppliers.

"It is our opinion that the current US import tariff on Brazilian ethanol exports compromises the country's capacity to diversify its fuels supplier base and ultimately drains resources from American taxpayers."

Presidential candidate John McCain recently quoted in an interview with a Brazilian newspaper stated, "We made a series of mistakes by not adopting a sustainable energy policy, one of which is the subsidies for corn ethanol, which I warned in Iowa were going to destroy the market and contribute to inflation. Besides, it is wrong to tax Brazilian-made sugarcane ethanol, which is much more efficient than corn ethanol."

EPA Administrator Stephen L. Johnson recently announced the decision to deny a request submitted by the State of Texas to reduce the nationwide Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS). As a result, the required total volume of renewable fuels, such as ethanol and biodiesel, mandated by law to be blended into the fuel supply will remain at 9 billion gallons in 2008 and 11.1 billion gallons in 2009...

Ranging in everything from processing zeolite which fell through to processing sludge which has yet to demonstrate success to processing fish pies for cows in the field and everything else in between.

This operation can't perfect one legitimate application and yet you expect investors to buy into the crap that this POS is gonna be a player in cellulosic ethanol? LMFAO!

And financially, the company runs at about $200K G&A cash outflow per quarter.

Do they need to continue growing cash flow from revenues? Sure do. Maybe you're not one for 10K's or 10Q's, but we will get a little more of a peek in two such reports upcoming through 11/15.

BTW, do you have any interest anymore in any other stocks, or has FASC captured 100% of your interest?

[Gd2Aussie3]

Yet another "consecutive post" --LMAO.

Not impressive for stock holders in since the beginning of that list. So far, it's a list of all FASC failures to their investors. All they have is empty pockets. In fact, two of them are dead. The list is accurate and so is my claim. Even you can't deny that.

As for your stab at it being in a hot sector. Totally unproven by FASC itself. As for renewable energy, again, not proven with a viable sale that has proven it over ANT time period. And, there is much bigger and better competition out there.

And, you can keep wondering if cellulose ethanol might be next on the list. So far, it's not on the list. Not saying they might not be in the infamous "TESTING LABS" working on it.

Glad to share the truth any time against the self-serving hyping of FASC.

Of course...

Pretty impressive list for a company that has developed into commercial stage from its previous R&D stage.

And in quite a hot sector, renewable/alternative energy and waste recycling.

Some new developments, too, over the last couple of months.

I wonder if cellulosic ethanol might be next on the list?

Thanks for sharing.

[Gd2Aussie3]

Since you insist...

IMPORTANT!
ATTENTION POTENTIAL BUYERS OF FASC!
Check out the following list, nothing has yet to materialize.
Can you name another company with as long a list of failures as FASC?
Do you really want to put your money into a company like this? And, remember, the list really goes back to 1995 and, still zip, zilch, zero.

Don't be surprised if some of the news seems to be repetitive or "RE-CYLED" LOL.

Of course...

IMO.

[Gd2Aussie3]

You've picked FASC since Jan 24, 2006 and how many PRs have come true? Before that there is a long list of FASC PRs that never came to realization. What ever became of those Energy Cabins?

Since Jan. 23, 2002 isn't there a list of about 40 PRs that have not come to realization? And, haven't those same PRs, that were highly touted by FASC in their quarterly reports, all of a sudden disappear on subsequent quarterlies with absolutely no explanation to investors?

Would you care for the list of broken PRs?

Of course...

IMO.

[All City Baby]

Son...

I pick FASC

You pick a stock.

We see whose stock did better a year from now.

"Give it a go, mate"

[All City Baby]

I'm not selling ANY of my shares, I will live in the streets before I do that.

[Gd2Aussie3]

"...better yet buy some stock before news hits." when was the last time real news hit? Since June 16 FASC has had five PRs. I guess the investing public didn't think they were so real. Which has been the norm for FASC. PRs with no real meat to them. LOL.

Of course...

IMO.

YUP, now it makes sense why the PPS of this stock has gone from its August 1st high of $.055 to almost back to its May st low of $.02.

Jim Rogers speaks on Fannie Mae at http://investinginsecurities.com

[All City Baby]

From the homepage of First American Scientific Corporation

FASC's patented grinder-dryer KDS Micronex™ is an all-in-one solution which efficiently and economically processes a wide variety of raw materials and wastes into fine, dry powders which can be used for the manufacturing of ethanol other "green fuel" or pathogen free fertilizer.


FASC may very well be a cellulosic ethanol play. Keep an eye on this stock or better yet buy some stock before news hits. (I'm not privy to any impending news but I got a hunch some is coming!)

Hey Dale, I thought the iBox could benefit from a little colour. Hope you don't mind. :0)

If you liked it better the other way no worries, just go into the iBox and revert back to a previous version.
