Analysis of:Fort Irwin to build a 500 megawat solar farm | solar.coolerplanet.com

We know that GE's CEO has lunch 2X a week with the Brass in Washington... We know that GE has the most to gain or loose should they not get the contract to participate in this two billion dollar project. GE Infrastructure, GE Wind, GE... the list goes on and I am confident that all of the right people are talking to the right people. We think that understanding energy management and creating a system for open architecture prior to building the project is a must.

Heavy Duty Truck Manufacturing: Where and When to Invest?

September 17, 2009

Analysis by:John Oltesvig, President,

Analysis of:ACT Research: Weak truck sales until 2010’s second half | fleetowner.com

When will heavy truck sales return to North America and Western Europe, the world’s two leading markets for heavy duty trucks? What manufacturers will be the winners when sales return? Will the recovery be V-shaped or U-shaped?Since heavy truck sales lag all other economic indicators, North American truck sales will continue to fall this year and next year. Unemployment is the lagging economic indicator to watch. It will grow into the low double digits in the U.S. this year and remain high next year. Heavy truck sales will follow the inverse trend of unemployment.

Well, the WTO Ruled in Favor of Boeing, But Bloomberg's Take Was Surprising

September 12, 2009

Analysis by:Doug McVitie, Founder & Chief Consultant,

Analysis of:Boeing, U.S. Seen Winning WTO Case on European Aid to Airbus | www.bloomberg.com

So this story is already a week old, but crucially only three weeks into the one-month appeal time. EADS has already made the tactical error of calling this (interim) result "Only Part One", when it simply can't be -- the two cases are separate and so can't be interdependent..So what does EADS do? Appeal and underline its "Part Two" gambit or just totally ignore the reality of the huge anti-European findings and instead focus on the baloney of trying to "talk it out"? Talk, remember, is cheap.
