ESLR-Solar Energy

[powerglass]

Take a look at the volume with XSNX today. Something is up with this stock.

Yesterday, PG&E , California's largest utility, made good on a 2003 settlement with the California Public Utilities Commission that required it to invest in clean energy sources. The deal, which sets aside $30 million for funding start-ups involved with clean or renewable energy technologies, stems from PG&E's 2001 bankruptcy filing.

Just because PG&E had to hold its nose and invest green, doesn't mean we should! ESLR is microscopic!

If world oil prices are seen as "too high," perhaps a more rational investment is in drillers, or oil sands producers in Alberta, or even ethanol producers. Or maybe in a defense stock, such as little IOTN which makes a directed energy weapon for the DoD.

Shorting alternative energy stocks....

Today was a good day to short ESLR. I currently hold a short position in ENER. I hope to cover @ $35. I think ESLR could retrace ALOT from here.

NOTE: I have nothing against these stocks and I actually like ENER and ESLR's business and products.... I just think they are overvalued and have been hyped up to current levels.

IMHO, currently Evergreen is on shakey ground, and I can't find too many good things to say about them, right now.

Take a peek at DESC. They've been tarred and feathered in the past week or so, but I think they have what it takes to rebound for a 7% gain off these lows. Don't look for it to recover the 27% or so it lost in the past week, anytime soon, but I think there is plenty of room for 7-9% in the short term.
With all the red on the income statement, I need to call my 7% prediction a contrarian play, but feel good about it.

XSNX Volume

Here's some positive news out causing the volume to explode this morning:

Effective January 1, 2007 XsunX, Inc. entered into a cooperative development agreement with Sencera, LLC for the licensure and development of a Sencera patent pending plasma source for use in the manufacture of deposited thin-film solar cells. The purpose of the cooperative agreement, and interest in the license by XsunX, was driven by what XsunX anticipates is the potential for the development of the Sencera plasma source to significantly increase deposition rates for the manufacture of deposited thin-film solar cells thereby decreasing manufacturing costs to under $1 dollar USD per peak watt. XsunX believes that if the addition of the Sencera plasma source for use in the manufacture its solar cell designs and manufacturing systems is successful it may provide the Company with a market advantage over other more costly per watt manufacturing technologies.

Under the terms of the agreement XsunX and Sencera entered into a Technology Development and License Agreement, the "Agreement", providing for a phased program to develop a process that will produce deposited thin-film solar cells at deposition rates expected to produce cells at a cost of less than $1 USD per watt. In connection with the Agreement Sencera issued XsunX a seven (7) year royalty based license that provides XsunX with exclusivity in the area of the XsunX field of use as claimed in U.S. Patent No. 6,180,871; 6,320,117; 6,509,204; 6,488,777; 6,258,408; 6,472,622; and (b) as claimed in U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/536,151; and (c) for use in semi-transparent photovoltaic devices, multi-terminal photovoltaic devices, and cassette-based roll-to-roll manufacturing equipment.

In connection with the Agreement XsunX issued to Sencera a seven (7) year 10% Installment Credit Note, the "Note", providing up to One Million Five Hundred Thousand ($1,500,000) dollars for use by Sencera in the development of the technologies under the Agreement. The Note is due and payable on its seventh anniversary, or may be repaid earlier without penalty, and provides for conversion rights anytime after three (3) years into (a) if the development work under the Agreement results in a process which can produce solar cells at a cost less than $1 USD per peak watt, then either party may elect to convert the Note into a three (3) year extension of the license, or (b) if the development work under the Agreement does not result in a process which can produce solar cells at a cost less than $1 US per peak watt, then either party may elect to convert the Note into a seven and one half (7.5%) membership interest in Sencera.
