Alternative energy ideas power down | www.delawareonline.com
- Current economic conditions have pressured fragile, developing alternative energy product and service providers - Long term demand will remain robust due to regulatory and legislative mandates in this segment - Business leaders in the alternative energy segment have learned to be resilient through starts and stops as the enabling technologies development - A slowdown in the segment may present a unique opportunity for traditional energy companies, sitting on the sidelines the past five years, to acquire or partner with promising alternative energy product and service providers who now find themselves with depressed stock prices

Capital spending cuts delay oil sands projects | www.ogj.com
In the early 1980's Shell and other major oil and gas companies were investing heavily in the Rocky Mountain regions (Colorado for example) exploring for shale oil deposits and developing shale oil processes. Oil prices shifted dramatically and capital expenditures dropped to zero and thousands of engineering and labor positions were eliminated.

Cogeneration--a nice engineering concept, but a lousy economic reality
April 24, 2008
Waste Not | www.theatlantic.com
Energy effeciency is laudable. But for the most part, manufacturers' financial objectives are so high for return and so short in time as to rarely justify the expenditures need for capital improvements. Additionally, their time spans of market life is many times shorter than what they imagine them to be, and one is left with stranded investment in the efficiency equipment. The solution is to incite such investment with high, feed-in tarrifs that reward those who provide the societal benefits for the investment made in a short time, and not to compare their econmic attractiveness to large scale, base-load generation costs. The Atlantic article rightfully points out the strangehold that the utilities have manged to throw on to IEPs (well aided by their Public Utility Commissions).
