<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: verdana, sans-serif; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em; COLOR: gray; FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-WEIGHT: bold">By Nick Hodge | Saturday, March 3rd, 2012</DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN-TOP: 5px; FONT-FAMILY: verdana, arial, sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 15px"><IMG style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN-LEFT: 10px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 10px" border=0 alt="Nick Hodge" src="http://images.wealthdaily.com/nick-hodge_75.png">
<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em">We can't forget about the <I>other</I> implications of $105+ oil.</div>
<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em">Sure, it sends oil drillers and service companies higher. And most of our recent coverage has been dedicated to that end.</div>
<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em">But it also heats up the search for and the attractiveness of alternatives.</div>
<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em">Of course, not all alternatives are created equal...</div>
<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em">We've seen what can happen when energy technologies are chosen based on cronyism, and not solely on their economic merits.</div>
<DIV style="BORDER-BOTTOM: gray 1px solid; TEXT-ALIGN: center; WIDTH: 100%; COLOR: gray; FONT-SIZE: 10px">Advertisement</DIV><WBR>
<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em"><B><SPAN style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline">Obama's Solar Blunder Cost Taxpayers </SPAN><BR><SPAN style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline">More Than a Half Billion Dollars</SPAN>!</B></div>
<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em">Now meet the completely ignored solar company that <SPAN style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline"><BR>didn't</SPAN> take a dime of your tax dollars...</div>
<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em">But could eliminate your electric bill using a ground-breaking solar spray.</div>
<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em"><A href="http://email.angelnexus.com/ct/8019367:11338920637:m:1:235829306:D1977E8A6760BF3042B330F0B86F9424:r" rel=nofollow target=_blank>Click here</A> for the full story.<SPAN> </SPAN></div>

<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em">No less than 80% of the stimulus loans and grants given by the Department of Energy to alternative energy companies has gone to companies either run by or primarily owned by Obama's financial backers — individuals who were bundlers, members of Obama’s National Finance Committee, or large donors to the Democratic Party.</div>
<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em">That's a large chunk: about <SPAN style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline">$16.4 billion out of $20.5 billion</SPAN> in issued loans.</div>
<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em">A CBS News report in January found that at least 12 companies that received billions in Federal assistance were now in financial trouble.</div>
<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em">Five have already gone bankrupt: Beacon Power, Evergreen Solar, SpectraWatt, Eastern Energy, and Solyndra.</div>
<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em">Last week, Abound Solar announced it was laying off 280 workers (70% of its staff) and delaying a new factory in Indiana. Abound got $400 million of your tax dollars.</div>
<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em">That's a far cry from July 2010, when Obama said Abound would use the money to “manufacture advanced solar panels at two new plants, creating more than 2,000 construction jobs and 1,500 permanent jobs" at plants in Indiana and Colorado.</div>
<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em">But that's what you get when you pick energy investments based on the Buddy System...</div>
<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em">That's not how we do things around here.</div>
<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em">We know energy alternatives will be successful because of market factors: higher conventional energy prices, less easy-to-get oil, a leapfrogging Third World, and efficiency.</div>
<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em">We've delivered you numerous winners in the space, and there will be plenty more to come — not because it's trendy, or green, or the right thing to do, or because the companies will help us get reelected...</div>
<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em"><I>But because we've evaluated the opportunities and find them to be good investments given current market conditions. </I></div>
<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em">That's exactly the case with <A href="http://email.angelnexus.com/ct/8019368:11338920637:m:1:235829306:D1977E8A6760BF3042B330F0B86F9424:r" rel=nofollow target=_blank>this solar company.</A></div>
<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em">It doesn't take government handouts.</div>
<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em">In fact, it doesn't even make solar panels.</div>
<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em">Instead, it makes a product that can turn any existing building into a mini power plant — at efficiencies once thought impossible.</div>
<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em">In other words, <A href="http://email.angelnexus.com/ct/8019369:11338920637:m:1:235829306:D1977E8A6760BF3042B330F0B86F9424:r" rel=nofollow target=_blank>the company</A> is going to be successful no matter which political party its executives support.</div>
<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em">That's how it's supposed to be.</div>
<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em">Call it like you see it,</div>
