I figured I would start this for those of us that would like to find new stocks or old one that looks like new growth for it would help it in the future. Lets post stocks so we all can pick them a part to see if new growth would help them or not. A learning experience for all of us.

GE, is a Company that I think will dominate the Wind Power of the future. The last few years it has been changing it's face and bringing itself back into more products and innovation for the future. Old Growth to New Growth.

Think I will hold my CWS (China Wind Systems) since they manufacture metal rings that go into the wind turbines. Expanding into Solar panel parts as well. If they are worthy, perhaps they may become a takeover target sometime in the future as the wind sector expands. Who knows what new development my occur. The one thing on wind and solar power producers' wish list, is a power storage battery system that could hold up full power for more than a few hours... I am sure some must be under R&D, and whoever could produce such batteries, capable of retaining power for a few days or longer at reasonable prices, would certainly be a winner in the green energy sector. It may be more lacerative than the wind/solar manufacturers themselves, at least for the short haul.

Totally agree. But sometimes breaking up is so hard to do. The Officers and the Board may have a comfort zone in retaining the current structure. Have seen many comments by level-headed people in the financial world recommending a restructuring over several years.

They are thinking of spinning their financial division off which I think would do them a lot of good.

Bio tech is going to change the way that we look at the world. The cool thing about GE is that not only are they into wind/solar they are also into water! Water is going to be huge.. All areas. They also are supplying the engines for China's first domestic airliner, and they are in the Medical imaging industry. XOM gets another hit today

Ty Fighter 3, I have just come from two presentations on Wind Turbines.. As I recall the the new GE is working well in Class II and III wind area and will out pro-form others in this class. Good news is the Electric cars need charging at night when the wind blows. DUK is working on improving it grid and adding more generation systems. to the wind farm. We have a start up ging discounts in Houston for car charging with free emergency stations around Houston for users. What I think GE is also doing with the French Power is Going after Generation IV Nuclear systems for Base Line Electric production. They have core tech that can last 50 years on the board being class certified. Just a thought, Bi Metal Au Pt PS WE build the base for the Wind turbines here in Abilene. You should see the Crane needed to lift thoses Turbines.. They are as big as the power plant on the 777 ?

Old crawlers with a bit longer booms. They are used in the oil patch and for the line for the Grid.. Very Heavy stuff.. Also used to unload very heavy separators and crackers . Most are over built for the job. They came to the area to build the Midland to Dallas Grid. You should see the huge trucks that pull them in the fields.. Just a thought, Bi metal Au Pt What I want to know who will make the next generation low resistance super high voltage Cable for the long run to New York.

Due to a current government program known as the Golden Quadrilateral (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Golden_Quadrilateral#Current_status), in which the country of India will go through essentially what the US went through after WWII in the way of the creation of a national highway system, the number of cars sold in India over the next 5 years should increase significantly (planned completion in 2015 of highway system). This will benefit Tata Motors top line and bottom line, as its Indian business is where all of its profit is generated at about 10% profit margin.
Tata also owns Jaguar and Landrover, but both of these car companies margins have been about 0% for the last 5 years, so you are really buying Tata for its Indian business, although I like the new Jaguar's styling.

However, the tech they are using is cool. www.lscable.com/product/product_info01.asp?cate_code=176&idx=0 Also did anyone get a chance to check out the water stocks in the article above?? Regardless of if China keeps their growth going. Water will be big. India is a democracy with over a billion people!

Minus 196oC! Somebody needs to get real. Any conductor has it's resistance lowered to almost zero when placed in a bath of liquid nitrogen (-196oC). No doubt they're doing research and development against the time when we start building the electrical grid on the outer planets! I would be wary of any company tauting something like this that is not a real product.

Superconducting power transmission cables. Ah yes. I remember how they were hyped in the market technology bubble back around 2001. I can't remember the name of the hyped firm but I do recall they were going to install a demo cable somewhere in Chicago. I guess it didn't work out too well.

Superconductors have their place but it's not in transmission lines. Not unless you can create an exotic material that has superconducting properties at close to ambient temperature. We should be using superconductors in the chase for figuring out how to harness Fusion energy and if we can the energy becomes so cheap and so abundant that it really doesn't matter how inefficient the transport mechanism is.

It has been a while but I think they use these extensively in the fusion reactors to create ulta-strong magnetic fields.

Yeah they do. High strength magnetic fields are really the only way of containing the high energy particles that are generated by a fusion reaction. The tokamak reactor design uses massive magnetic fields to keep a critical mass of particles in place to generate a sustaining fusion reaction. Otherwise everything would just fly apart too fast. The sun is a fusion reactor but it's got that somewhat unexplainable gravity thing working for it.
There's a laser explosion design for fusion energy as well but it still might require some massive magnetic fields to channel the energy into something that can be useful, i.e. electrical generation.

"There's a laser explosion design for fusion energy as well but it still might require some massive magnetic fields to channel the energy into something that can be useful, i.e. electrical generation." Cali, Yes, Shiva (1 st generation) and Nova Shiva (currently under construction -- for about the last 20 years!) at Lawrence Livermore Lab both use massive magnetic fields to create the "magnetic bottle". They have whole warehouses full of capacitors that they have to pump for months to instantaneously provide the power to build the bottle. The magnetic coils (whatever conductor they're made of) are almost certainly chilled very low to obtain the maximum current flow and thus magnetic flux. Rovo, The stock is SCON, which I see still exists. It closed today at $1.53/sh after having risen in February of 2000 from $80/sh to $1150/sh! Reckon that's a "buy-and-hold" for the record books! Whoops, looks like I'm very behind the times en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nova_(laser). I didn't know that Nova Shiva was dismantled, I thought they were still working on it. I worked with (but not for) the machine shop that made the target chamber shown in this article and used to see it on a fairly regular basis when I would be there going over work they were performing on turbine parts for the company I worked for. It spent more time awaiting design changes than it ever did actually in the mill. I was forever having to yell at them to either machine that damned thing or pull it out of the mill and put my blades in -- set-ups be damned! It was tying up the largest mill in California, though not the largest on the west coast. That honor goes to Ebco Industries in British Columbia, by a whole lot. Ebco used to (and for all I know still does) true-up air frames for Boeing prototypes -- the mill is that big! Another Edit: Might as well throw in a link to Ebco's website for anyone interested www.ebco.com/And yet another edit: link to Allied Engineering -- the biggest mill in California: www.alliedeng.com/

I don't know much about the topic. I don't understand why a company would act like this was a big thing if people that know what they are talking about could call them out on that?? Is their a way to have it so the cable is encased and LN filled??

They're not lying. They're saying that they have the capability of producing a superconducting alloy and that it superconducts at the temperature of liquid nitrogen (which is considered "high temperature" in that demented game). I think they're assuming that people interested in buying superconducting materials from them will know what they are buying en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-temperature_superconductivity. All the superconductors I've read of have been rectangular busses rather than round wires -- the materials I've read about are very brittle and not capable of being drawn into round wire. I'm not aware of any of them having an electrical insulating jacket of any sort nor am I aware of any plastic type of product that could withstand the low temperature. I don't know of any that have been able to be made more than a few feet long. So, in essence the way they are used is physical separation between phases (liquid nitrogen is a very poor conductor) and immersed in thermos container, kept full of the liquid nitrogen (or in the case of the low temperature superconductors, liquid hydrogen or helium). I could not find this quote on the LS website: [glow=red,2,300]Unlike copper cables that inherently lose conductivity during power supply and distribution, HTS (High Temperature Superconducting) cables utilize a high temperature superconducting alloy "zero" electricity resistance that occurs at extremely low temperatures (below -196°C). This is the dream power cable which provides high load power transmission and distribution with minimal electricity loss. - Features In comparison to generic power cables in the same class, this product is smaller in size, yet has 5~10 times the power transmission capacity. This technology is expected to quickly replace the overcrowded new markets for high voltage power cables for power transmission and distribution. [/glow] If it was there somewhere, they are being misleading by implying that the state of the art for these conductors is any good for long distance power transmission. In any case, it's no reason to buy a stock. This may be a good company, or not. Its stock may be undervalued or overvalued. The fact that they manufacture some superconducting alloy has nothing to do with any of that. If I were trying to find out things about this company, I'd be trying to determine their copper inventory level, their source, when they bought it, how long it will last them, whether or not they have good hedges in place to protect against the crazy rise and potential fall of the metal. If not managed correctly, this company's prospects could ride or fall on the one factor of copper price.
