Space Based Solar Power Fuels Vision of Global Energy Security

When the post-WWII brain grab for German rocket scientists, and the subesquent launch of Sputnik spurred America to take the leap to put a man on the moon, we literally ROSE to the occasion.
Now, with the shock of a seemingly endless barrage of news stories about global warming, greenhouse gases, melting polar ice caps, disappearing glaciers, soaring gasoline costs etc. why can't we RISE to the opportunity to wean ourselves off fossil fuels by capturing solar energy in space, collecting coherently beamed radiated energy on earth (like microwaves or low intensity laser light), & converting it to electrical power.

"Our Sun is the largest known energy resource in the solar system.
In the vicinity of Earth, every square meter of space receives 1.366 kilowatts of solar radiation, but by the time it reaches the ground,
it has been reduced by atmospheric absorption and scattering; weather; and summer, winter, and day;
night cycles to less than an average of 250 watts per square meter. Space
Based Solar Power offers a way to break the tyranny of these day;night, summer
winter and weather cycles, and provide continuous and predictable power to any location on Earth.
"
Talk about drilling down for more fossil fuels whose combustion only furthers to damage the biosphere, hopefully not past a point of no return, is dwarfed by the potential of "drilling up" to space.
imo, the future of humankind's survival could be at stake here.
Do we have the will to prepare like we did to put a man on the moon?

SDTH Details NPCC Expansion Plan, Raising Est's, PT to $13
SDTH to build new NPCC production facility in Zibo, Shandong
province. Management announced late yesterday that it will build an NPCC
production facility in Zibo which is 80 miles northeast of Tai'an city, the
Company's headquarters. It's proximity to sea port will help the firm's export
business and reduce transportation cost from Xianyang facility in Shaanxi
province. SDTH has secured a 150 million MT reserve of limestone, the key
raw material for NPCC.
An initial investment of $56 million will be used to acquire 58 acres of land,
to construct a plant with 120,000 MT annual capacity, and to purchase
equipment for the initial 60,000 MT of NPCC production. Construction will
start in August 2008 and management further expects the first shipment to
begin by July 2009, which is slightly ahead of our anticipated schedule.
Separately, as we expected, SDTH exercised over-allotment option for
additional $15 million of 6% convertible notes due 2018, making the entire
debt offering $115 million. We have forecasted interest expenses based on
$115 million in our model. We expect the acquisition cost for Jinan Fertilizer
to be $40 to $50 million.
Management expects total NPCC capacity to reach 310,000 MT by end
of 2009, implying another 60,000 MT capacity expansion by mid-2009. We
anticipate the Company has sufficient cash flow to support such expansion.
Management confirms that recent earthquake in Sichuan has not
disrupted its NPCC production in Xianyang.
We have raised FY08 fully-diluted EPS estimate from $0.59 to $0.60
while raising FY09 estimate from $0.63 to $0.79. We anticipate the
acquisition will significantly improve SDTH's bottom line in 2009, despite
added interest expenses, amortization costs and share dilution from
convertible notes offering.
We maintain BUY rating on SDTH and raise our price target to $13. Our
valuation is based on 12x FY09 EPS of chemical segment and 3.6x for FY09
NPCC sales.

y, one thing humans are notoriously myopic about are the unintended consequences of well intended efforts to solve problems of our own creation
i'm sure that the third world has a dim view of our diverting corn to biofuel, subsidizing the producers, and making the price of tortillas and other agricommodities soar.
i believe we DO need to make a heroic effort to wean off fossil fuels before we push the atmosphere over the edge, but we can't even show the gumption to support the Kyoto Protocol let alone reign in the thirst for and use of more petrochemical sources.
maybe the hyperfocus on our political process in this presidential cycle will help focus awareness on what our true priorities ought to be: save the planet before we save a $ in cheaper gasoline.

Trading Tip from a TC2000 subscriber
TC2000 gives bottles of champagne to subscribers who send in trading ideas
last night's submission is simple but awesome (to me anyway)
I have enjoyed your discussions on figuring out what the market has in store for us and how to trade it. I always check in with your comments first thing and have always found them wise and full of humor. Over the years I have gotten much more focused on what I look at. I put the S&P 500 chart in the center of the various monitors I watch. Once the S&P opens, I look for long day-trades if it stays above the open and short day-trades if it stays below the open. I do not look for swing trades until the S&P goes above yesterday's high or below yesterday's low. Once it goes above yesterday's high I am looking for swing trades long, and if it goes below yesterday's low, I am looking for swing trades short. I never lose sight of yesterday's high and low. If it breaks the high I am out of all my shorts and going long; if it breaks yesterdays low, I am out of all my longs and looking for shorts. It's that simple. I never ever have large losses and I am always trading with the S&P. When the S&P is bouncing between yesterday's high and low, I am just day-trading.
My large gains come on swing trades when I play the 3-5 day swings that the S&P likes to take up and down. I have found that the S&P likes to swing on those Fibonacci vibrations (3.5 and occasionally 8). When we have had 3-5 days down and lower lows, I am looking for a change in direction. As soon as we get a break up through the previous day's high, I am looking for swing trades long. As long as we continue making daily highs, I am long. The reverse applies to swings down and shorting. On all daily swings of the S&P I am looking for Fibonacci levels on these swings for possible turning points. I break the previous day's range of the S&P into quadrants so I know exactly where I am at. On the 3-5 day swings, I have all the Fibonacci levels marked off.
I read and watch all the financial news. but I have learned that the news combined with my ego is the kiss of death. As soon as I think I know what the market is going to do, I am setting myself up for big losses. I watch the S&P and ignore everything else. It is my total focus. I follow it and nothing else. It sounds so simple and yet it is never wrong. In the 90's, I traded big momentum tech stocks with lots of ego and knowledge; I made 8 fortunes. From 2000 until 2002 I traded with tons of information and a big ego and lost 7 and 1/2 fortunes. Now I trade with no ego and I discount all my knowledge. I only watch the S&P 500 and it tells me all.
The market is headed higher and higher until it is headed lower. Nothing else in the world means anything. Just focus on yesterdays high and low and the most recent swing highs and lows. Trade accordingly. You will be humble, wise and rich.

CPST with 0.5% weighting in FAN
i have found no link between CPST and wind power
micro-turbines can be paired with solar panels, providing needed backup when the sun is less than optimal and at night.
i presume the same could be said for when the wind isn't blowing
one of the problems with wind farms is building the transmission lines to get their power into the grid
CPST can be seen as one of the solutions to distributed energy systems in off-grid applications
if anyone can shed more light on this.....please do

FAN the backward looking index is up
as you pointed out
FAN itself has only just begun trading
i would wait for a pullback myself
like an inverse rooster and look to enter lower
i do think the wind is at the back of the wind energy stocks
runs in the fertilizer sector
or 2 years ago in ethanol
or this year in oil/gas or coal can show a lot of longevity
as i mentioned before, you get exposure to the best in the field, most of which, are not tradeable here in U.S.
