Alternative Fuels and Energy Awaits the Obama Administration
Posted November 17th, 2008 by SectorWatch (not verified)Alternative Fuels & Energy Barack Obama Stocks SectorWatch 5
Average: 5 (2 votes)With Election Day behind us and a Democratic president with a stacked Congress soon to be, regardless of your politics one thing is for sure; there will be a change in this country when it comes to energy. It was inevitable with both candidates on the same path here to cleaner, cheaper and more efficient energy.

With the economy struggling, for Exxon (NYSE:EX) to come out and say ‘we made $13+ billion in profits in quarter when gas was $5 a gallon’ offends everyone except Exxon shareholders. Even though gas dropped in price and consumers might drive more, the days of the gas-guzzler are over. Ford (NYSE:F) announced it is hiring back 1,000 plant workers to build the newly designed F-150 truck. That’s good news; because it won’t guzzle as much.

China announced last week that it is now producing as much air pollution as the U.S. Didn’t take them long to catch up. And I would venture to say that India isn’t far behind. Emerging economies are going to look to the U.S. for solutions and as long as there is money to be made; we’ll be glad to lead the way.

There will be U.S. government monetary and fiscal policies made in the next administration that will favor energy independence and getting the alternative energy and fuel possibilities; right. There are Congressional mandates already on the books, but no one speaks of them much. A new administration will see to that they do.

Regardless of the market cap of the company, new and renewable fuels for consumption are about ready to make a great leap forward. Did you know an entire town in Iceland has every municipal and public transportation vehicle running on Hydrogen? And who put up the hydrogen stations for refueling all over town? Shell (NYSE:RDS-B).

The big energy producers know that U.S. consumers have had enough of the past and as we become less dependent on fossil fuels; our areas of new dependence will certainly become part of ‘their’ portfolio as well. But the entrepreneurs, the mid-caps, the small-caps, the micro-caps, will enjoy the lion’s share (if they have a good legal team) and the U.S. will eventually get an energy policy and a road to take that will be cheaper and less harmful.

So I’m going to start looking at “CleanTech” and compelling Alternative Fuel, transportation and Energy companies that provide a vast array of green services, products and innovations that in one way or another are destined to have a positive effect on the marketplace. We'll treat this blog as a living thing, identifying companies from our sources in the small cap world as we encounter them. Of course, these companies join the following companies in this space:

Green Recovery: A Program to Create Good Jobs and Start Building a Low-Carbon Economy
As the nation continues to debate its energy future, a new report released today shows that the U.S. can create two million jobs by investing in a rapid green economic recovery program, which will strengthen the economy, increase energy independence, and fight global warming.

Green Recovery – A Program to Create Good Jobs and Start Building a Low-Carbon Economy was prepared by the Political Economy Research Institute at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, under commission by the Center for American Progress and released by a coalition of labor and environmental groups. The authors are Robert Pollin, Heidi Garrett-Peltier, James Heintz, and Helen Scharber of PERI.

Focusing for now on a short-term clean energy and jobs program, Green Recovery reports that a short-term green stimulus package would create two million jobs nationwide over two years. Later in the fall, PERI and CAP will co-publish a fuller study that addresses the longer-term challenges and opportunities created by building a clean-energy economy.

The short-term $100 billion green economic recovery package would:

Create nearly four times more total jobs than spending the same amount of money within the oil industry, and 300,000 more jobs than a similar amount of spending directed toward household consumption.
Create roughly triple the number of good jobs — paying at least $16 dollars an hour — as spending the same amount of money within the oil industry.
Reduce the unemployment rate to 4.4 percent from 5.7 percent (calculated within the framework of U.S. labor market conditions in July 2008).
Bolster employment especially in construction and manufacturing. Construction employment has fallen from 8 million to 7.2 million jobs over the past two years due to the housing bubble collapse. The Green Recovery program can, at the least, bring back these lost 800,000 construction jobs.
The green economic recovery program addresses the immediate need to boost our struggling economy and accelerate the adoption of a comprehensive clean-energy agenda through a $100 billion investment that would combine tax credits and loan guarantees for private businesses with direct public-investment spending.

The recovery program aims to boost private and public investment in six energy-efficiency and renewable-energy strategies: retrofitting buildings to improve energy efficiency, expanding mass transit and freight rail, constructing 'smart' electrical grid transmission systems, wind power, solar power, and next-generation biofuels.

The report shows that the vast majority of the two million jobs would be in the same areas of employment that people already work in today, in every region and state of the country. For example, constructing wind farms creates jobs for sheet metal workers, machinists and truck drivers, among many others. Increasing the energy efficiency of buildings through retrofitting requires roofers, insulators and building inspectors. Expanding mass transit systems employs civil engineers, electricians, and dispatchers.

The study’s authors conclude that “we can be certain that the green recovery program will serve as a strong counterforce against pressures that are currently pushing unemployment up as well as more broadly increasing economic disparities. The green infrastructure investments proposed here will also generate significant long-term advances toward creating the clean energy economy that we need.”

The green recovery program investments would fund:

$50 billion for tax credits. This would assist private businesses and homeowners in financing commercial and residential building retrofits, as well as investments in renewable-energy systems.
$46 billion in direct government spending. This would support public building retrofits, the expansion of mass transit, freight rail and smart electrical-grid systems, and new investments in renewable energy.
$4 billion for federal loan guarantees. This would underwrite private credit that is extended to finance building retrofits and investments in renewable energy.
