Top Clean Energy Opportunities for Accredited Investors
Over the past six years, I’ve sunk an enormous amount of time and other resources into vetting literally thousands of renewable energy business concepts to winnow out what I believe to be the very best investment opportunities in this arena.
Pick a technology. Maybe you’re looking for a fund composed of privately held run-of-river hydro projects, or publicly traded solar PV concerns, or literally any other technology in this space. Perhaps you’d like to bet on alternative energy as a whole, or something on the periphery: energy storage, efficiency, alt-fuel transportation, smart grid, etc.
Or pick a geography. I have very tight ties to an analyst who do nothing but study Brazil, to choose one at random.
In any case, I invite anyone who wants my viewpoints on any of this to call or write me anytime.
I’m not a broker/dealer, so I can’t get involved in marketing securities, but there’s no law against offering an educated opinion, and I’m not at all shy about that—neither (at the risk of sounding immodest) am I uninformed.
If you want to talk, here’s the place to start.
You might be educated but it seems to me you are both immodest and uninformed and are not curious and do not have the ability to understand the nature of innovation very well. And being educated in the traditional way at a university is in my view designed to get you to see things as your teachers do. In other words to see things as one does who studied in the past. I’d say you would likely make a good college professor but as far as evaluating innovation I’m not convinced you’ve got what it takes, but go ahead and tell us what successes you’ve had.
LOL. You’re quite a brusque fellow, though that most certainly doesn’t bother me. You’re talking to a guy who was called a “cockroach” on a very popular live radio show. http://2greenenergy.com/2013/10/20/renewable-energy-cucaracha/
Out of curiosity, does this demeanor work for you generally?
Out of curiosity why would someone call you a cockroach? What was their motivation?
I wrote about it in the article I linked in my comment. It was an irate climate change denier who had called into the show and lit into me for being concerned about global warming. It was actually kind of funny. The host of the show almost had a heart attack when he heard the “c” word (cockroach), and demanded that the caller retract what he had said (which he reluctantly did). All in a day’s work…. 🙂
Google James Watt if you want to learn about innovation that no one around him could relate to until he demonstrated and explained his improved steam engine.
“To be honest, we had a problem with innovation even before the economic crisis. That’s the reason I wrote my book,” says Judy Estrin, former chief technology officer at Cisco Systems and author of “Closing the Innovation Gap.” “We’re focusing on the short term and we’re not planting the seeds for the future.”
“Innovation has to be embedded in the daily operation, in the entire work force,” says Jon Fisher, a business professor, serial entrepreneur, and author of “Strategic Entrepreneurism,” which advocates building a start-up’s business from the beginning with an eye toward selling the company. “A large acquirer’s interest in a start-up or smaller company is binary in nature: They either want you or they don’t, based on the innovation you have to offer. The best way to foster innovation is to create something, put it to the test, build a good company and then get it under the umbrella of a world-renowned company to move it forward.”
David Thompson, chief executive and co-founder of Genius.com Inc., based in San Mateo, Calif., says that innovation “has a bad name in down times” but that “bad times focus the mind and the best-focused minds in the down times are looking for the opportunities.”
What I’ve developed is a new type of “multi-fuels processor” that can serve in a manner similar to a “food processor” in that whatever types of “ingredients” are available can be introduced into the processor and processed automatically under the direction of operators at the system’s control panel. This will enable biorefinery operators to produce various new and more valuable end products according to what’s needed at that place and time and do so with what’s available at that place and time.
Had I been present and heard someone accuse you of being concerned about global warming I would probably have thought that laughable and at least chuckled.
I actually chuckled myself. But as I noted above, the host was completely mortified (which made the occasion that much funnier to me).
OK then (chuckle chuckle) back to the subject of Clean Energy Opportunities for investors and other “accredited” individuals and/or businesses. Bill Gates are you there?
Consider this:
Thomas Edison and Henry Ford along with other successful individuals such as Benjamin Franklin, etc. all met with groups of like-minded people on a fairly regular basis, to help one another achieve common goals and grow. This is now known as a “mastermind group”, the name being first coined by Napoleon Hill in 1925.
I propose forming such a group to further the commercialization of my patented renewable fuels conversion system and in that vein I’m offering “accredited” businesses or individuals the invitation to contact me if any such are interested in a mastermind group for assisting in repowering the world with lower cost God given low-carbon energy that can (hopefully) help save humanity from killing itself off via the devil’s dirty fuels.
“Humanity has pushed the world’s climate system to the brink, leaving itself only scant time to act. We are at about five minutes before midnight.”
— Rajendra Pachauri, Chair of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 2013
If you’re like me, you are feeling a strong sense of responsibility to empower a big fix for the global warming issue before it is too late, a fix on the scale of the Marshal Plan that enabled the rebuilding of Europe after World War Two. Scientists now report that we only have a few years left to transform our society to a renewable energy (zero-carbon) economy if we are to avoid catastrophic climate change. So what should our role be in creating this all-important transformation? And who among us can deny this need?

In April 2014, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit upheld the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS), ruling in a 2–1 decision that the EPA was not required to take costs into account when it promulgates rules that are “appropriate and necessary” to address hazards to public health.
But In a 5–4 decision announced on June 29, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) rules limiting mercury and other hazardous air pollutants released from power plants.
In the decision, Justice Scalia made the following analogy. “By EPA’s logic, someone could decide whether it is ‘appropriate’ to buy a Ferrari without thinking about cost, because he plans to think about cost later when deciding whether to upgrade the sound system.”
I say that Scalia’s reasoning simply isn’t reasoning that is on an intelligence level commensurate with being a Supreme Court Justice.
1) In the first place the EPA is the government agency responsible for the health and well being of U.S. citizens which is quite a different position than as one who is considering the purchase of a luxury auto.
2) In the second place a billionaire or even a multi-millionaire if he/she wanted a Ferrari could indeed decide whether to buy a Ferrari without thinking about the cost and could also decide whether to upgrade the sound system later on without thinking about the cost.
3) In the third place it would not be up to the EPA to make compliance decisions or even think about the cost of compliance or the way to achieve compliance with the Toxics Standards ruling because those decisions would be up to the utilities to consider in deciding how best to meet the standards without excessively burdening the power consumers.
4) In the fourth place utilities have already been making those cost and compliance decisions and not necessarily making them in the manner that best serves and protects power consumers.
Once again let me state for the record:
AAEC has invented, patented, tested and further developed a new concept low-carbon energy technology we’ve designed for serving as the core technology for far cleaner renewable energy production systems and energy efficiency improvements across the American landscape and around the world. AAEC’s novel new concept technology consists of a biomass, fossil fuel, and municipal waste combustion, gasification and pyrolysis conversion technology that can provide scalable heat and power requirements as well as both biofuel and biochar production. AAEC’s technology is for stand-alone use or as backup for alternative energy systems that depend on solar, wind or other intermittent sources of energy, and in this way it will help enable a doubling of the deployment of alternative energy projects around the world in coming decades.
AAEC developed this new concept technology to enable homeowners, businesses, towns, cities and even counties to convert nearly completely to cleaner renewable energy. AAEC is for those who understand that cleaner distributed alternative/renewable energy derived from coal, solar, wind, biomass and waste is a viable pathway to stall global warming and produce a much better future for all communities, for our descendants, and ultimately for all humanity. AAEC offers a viable way to move beyond merely talking about global warming and climate change to better controlling it. Fossil Fuels firms and utilities may oppose what AAEC offers and may want to maintain their monopoly positions as sole energy providers and pass on the costs in cleaning up their operations to their long suffering clients and customers, even if much better options are available that would benefit them as well.
AAEC management believes we will do better and be safer in the long run if we can deploy a practical way to power all societies on extraction of greenhouse gases that have already been emitted into earth’s atmosphere while also reducing ongoing greenhouse emissions and begin protecting our communities and electric power grids. We are claiming to be the inventor of one of the “tools” needed to enable humanity to overhaul the power delivery system, in the USA and elsewhere, and help get us out of the box fossil fuels and governmental inaction have humanity bound up in. We propose to do this through deployment of advanced alternative energy projects at community, city and county scale as good paying infrastructure producing jobs are needed. Therefore AAEC is seeking support from all that may care to support this project.
AAEC’s product lines can be manufactured in the US and in most any locality on any continent for the local or regional market. This we at AAEC believe will create licensing opportunities and many thousands of good paying long term jobs and these are among the things we are offering to an alternative energy hungry world.
