Perhaps someone knows what company he is talking about here:

"Using a source officially discovered by NASA in 1978, a small California company has perfected a way to harness the "Earth's Energy Budget," which NASA has measured at 174 Petawatts per day.

1 Petawatt of energy is enough to supply all of New York City for 10.5 years straight.

And this tiny California solar company, recently featured on NBC's Today Show, just figured out how to harness these Petawatts. In less than a decade, these systems will be on nearly every home and office building in North America.




Dear Reader:

There's a fast-growing high-tech company in California that just unlocked one of the largest sources of energy anywhere on earth.

Officially discovered by NASA in 1978, the energy source is known as the Earth's Energy Budget. And right now it stands at 174 Petawatts every single day.


How much energy is in 174 Petawatts?

Let me put it this way - just one Petawatt is enough to keep the electricity going in New York City for 3,846 days straight!

And the company in California that I'm going to tell you about has created a way to capture those Petawatts and convert them into useable energy for homes and buildings.

And, more importantly, they can do it without installing costly and ugly solar panels.

In fact, dozens of buildings have already installed the company's energy converting systems, including the world famous Savoy Hotel in San Francisco and the University of Toronto.

But that's just the tip of the iceberg. In the coming years, it's estimated that nearly every new home built in America will have these systems.


And once installed on a mass scale, these things could eventually capture more energy in a single month than Saudi Arabia will produce in the next 50 years!

This breakthrough is the next generation of building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), or solar panels built right into buildings' external structures.

You see, traditional solar panels are large, unsightly and expensive. But with solar shingles and glass, the architectural design appears unchanged. Take a look at this house, which has installed the company's solar roof shingles:



These little solar roof tiles can actually generate enough electricity for your entire house.

I'm telling you, this development is a blockbuster, and could literally change the way we use energy forever.

The Birth of a New Industry: Endless Energy
Many think this solar company will single-handedly transform the energy market, making electric utility companies nearly obsolete, similar to what PC and Windows did to typewriter companies like Brother and Smith Corona.


Meet Jeff Siegel

Jeff Siegel is the managing editor of Green Chip Stocks, an investment advisory service that has had stunning success in 2005, with portfolio returns of +40.66% for the year. And for 2006, +29.7% for the year. Jeff focuses on stocks in the emerging and lucrative organic food and renewable energy industries.

Jeff is a new breed of investor. Part entrepreneur, part Renaissance man, Jeff is an accomplished musician and writer, having recorded and performed all over the world - from London to Rome to New York. He was even called upon to score part of the latest Exorcist prequel.

From 1994 to 2001, Jeff worked for Agora Publishing, one of the largest financial newsletter publishers in the world.

In the past 6 years, he's traveled across America searching for mega-trends that'll usher in a new generation of wealth.

Once a week in Green Chip Stocks, Jeff highlights investment opportunities in the fast-growing "Green" market.
I don't know if that'll happen or not. But I do know this.

The company is getting some major media attention, recently being featured on NBC's Today Show.

I'm predicting that it'll increase in value by 763% over the next three years, like MEMC Electronic Materials (WFR-NYSE) did.

MEMC manufactures silicon wafer technology for the solar industry. With the solar boom, MEMC's stock has gone ballistic - from $4 in 2002 to over $60 today.

I'll talk more about the parallels with MEMC in a minute, but first let me tell you why this emerging California solar company is following in the same footsteps.

You see, this stock is small, trading at a market cap of just $55 million. And it's completely under Wall Street's radar.

But that's changing. And changing fast.

Wall Street is tripping over itself trying to find new and promising solar stocks to invest in.

And the reason is simple: Major profits!



Not only are alternative energy stocks red-hot right now, posting an average annual gain of more than 40% since 2003, but these companies represent the next generation of energy.

Take a look at the New Alternatives ETF, a fund that tracks solar, geothermal, wind and ethanol stocks:



It's the future. Plain and simple.

To give you an example, when First Solar went public in November '06 the buying frenzy shocked many traders unfamiliar with the progression of alternative energy markets . . . but not me.

You see, this company was bringing updated technology to the table. Technology that was disruptive to your run-of-the-mill solar energy company.

Much like our young BIPV stock right now.

Analysts originally predicted that First Solar's stock would open somewhere between $16 and $18 a share. But on the morning of November 17, shares of First Solar opened at $25 a share, and never looked back.

Today it trades for $85 a share!



And it commands a market cap of $7.1 BILLION! And that's on sales of $54 million.

Share the Wealth
With the solar energy industry booming, there's been a trickle-down effect, too. Any company directly or indirectly connected with solar is benefiting.

Again take a look at MEMC Electronic Materials, for example. It's a global supplier of silicon wafer technology to the solar industry.

Its stock has soared in value, going from $1.05 in 2001 to a high today of over $64. That's a gain of 5,995%. Check it out:



With gains like that, investors are making a fortune investing in alternative energy stocks.

That's why I'm so bullish on my tiny solar roof stock. It's next in line for blockbuster gains.

I'm predicting that every $10,000 invested will turn into $76,300 within three years.

Double up and you're looking at $152,600.

Sounds too good to be true, but one of my favorite solar recommendations, World Water & Power (WWAT.OB) has gone from $0.14 in 2006 to over $2.50 this year.

Take a look:



Likewise, I think this new solar roof stock will easily hit $2.00 by this time next year . . . and $4.19 within three years.

You can still pick up shares of this solar roof stock for less than $0.75!

In a minute, I'll tell you how to get a piece of the action. But first, let me tell you why . . .

You Must Erase "Alternative" from Alternative Energy
Let me dispel a myth. "Alternative" - as in alternative energy - isn't "alternative" anymore. It's mainstream.

Solar Fact #1:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sun produces an estimated 4 trillion watts of electricity every single hour . . . enough power to meet our current energy needs for the next 500,000 years. Over the past several years, FedEx, Staples, the Timberland Co., and corporate behemoth Wal-Mart have begun installing solar panels at their stores and facilities.

Now listen, I don't want you to be disillusioned. These companies aren't installing solar panels because they've suddenly become concerned about global warming.

No, they've installed solar panels because it'll reduce their electric bills by as much as 60% each month.

That's what's driving the boom in solar energy.

But it's a boom that still hasn't caught on with John Q. Investor.

In fact, the ordinary investor doesn't have a clue about the potential in these stocks. Let me explain . . .

It wasn't that long ago that I attended the Solar Power Conference and Expo in Washington, D.C.

It's one of the largest, most influential future and clean energy conferences in America, where policymakers and leaders in the energy industries learn about the latest in solar technologies.

It was there that I had an epiphany.

You see, while attending a press conference with Senator Lamar Alexander (chairman of the subcommittee on energy) and three of the most powerful CEOs in the solar industry, I made an important and profitable discovery - one that has already made some investors a lot of money!


Solar Fact #2:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"As prices for coal, natural gas and oil have soared, solar power has been getting perhaps its most serious look from investors since President Jimmy Carter pulled on a cardigan and asked Americans to damp their furnaces. The new interest means that the handful of domestic solar stocks has been surging, too."

- The New York Times, September 11th, 2005 On that Friday afternoon, in a makeshift pressroom in the basement of the Hyatt Regency hotel, only eight journalists were meticulously taking notes.

Eight journalists! That's it!

That's when I realized the average investor is still clueless as to just how lucrative this market is.

But that's OK. Because while these guys sleep on what is already shaping up to be one of the most profitable markets of the 21st century, a group of wise investors are making a fortune in solar.

In fact, the last solar manufacturer I recommended has already delivered gains of more than 245% in the past six months.

But I'm expecting even more from this next one.

Let me show you why, of all the publicly-traded solar companies, this is the one that will soon dominate the BIPV segment of the solar energy market.

$40 to 50 billion in revenue by 2010

When most people think about solar, they envision photovoltaic devices (PV). This is what a typical photovoltaic installation looks like:



Now during the energy crisis of the 1970s, serious interest in solar technology took hold in the U.S. But due to prohibitive prices, large-scale applications were nearly impossible.

However, in 2007, with oil trading at $73 a barrel, interest in solar has returned. Only this time, PV is cost-effective.

In 1976, the average selling price per watt was about $100. Today it's significantly less. Take a look:



With such a drastic reduction in price, coupled with the ever-increasing price of oil, it's no wonder that both residential and industrial consumers are starting to flock towards solar alternatives.

In fact, since 2001, the global photovoltaic market has averaged about 40% annual growth. And this year alone, PV production is expected to reach 1.5 gigawatts, representing approximately $11 billion in revenue. That's double its level in 2003.

By 2010, analysts estimate global PV manufacturing will be sufficient to meet one third of new U.S. electric demand annually - representing $40 to 50 billion in revenue!

There's no doubt the PV business is booming.

Mother Nature is bullish on solar!
Something very important is going to happen this winter that's going to push the renewable energy market to new heights - especially solar!

This winter, Americans will pay nearly twice as much as they paid last year in heating bills.

And mark my words, when the first really nasty cold snap forces consumers (especially business owners) to jack their thermostats past 70, the market is going to warm up to solar, fast!

Here's why . . .

Over the past two years, the solar industry has hit new highs every time Mother Nature reminded us who's boss.

Last summer for example, Arizona had record peak usage and almost maxed out capacity when the state endured record-breaking temperatures of as much as 108 degrees Fahrenheit.

And only a few days after hurricane Katrina ripped New Orleans to shreds (and devoured its electrical grid), solar stocks soared.

Of course, these are two examples where Mother Nature's effect on energy supplies was relatively short-lived.

But a little later this year will be the beginning of at least three to four months of blistering cold weather - and overwhelming heating bills.

It will be a cold and hard wake-up call for most of the country when we finally realize that natural gas and fossil fuels are no longer cheap and abundant. And the reality of renewable energy is going to take hold more strongly like you've never seen before.

Solar Fact #3:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Few power-generation technologies have as little impact on the environment as photovoltaics. As it quietly generates electricity from light, PV produces no air pollution or hazardous waste. It doesn't require liquid or gaseous fuels to be transported or combusted. And because its energy source - sunlight - is free and abundant, PV systems can guarantee access to electric power." - U.S. Department of Energy And one company that's going to exploit this for everything its worth is featured in my special report, Endless Energy.

In this report I outline why this solar company - with a market cap of just $55 million - stands to profit more than almost any other solar manufacturer on the planet.

Even when matched against industry giants like Sharp, Kyocera and BP Solar!

But you have to act fast.

Energy legislation is scorching hot on the Hill right now.

And the extension of the solar tax credit is right around the corner.

The last solar tax credit extension for just one year pushed solar through the roof.

Just imagine what this next eight-year extension's going to do!

Rest assured, this thing's going to get passed. And really, for no other reason than that every politician in Washington knows this one's a big-time vote-getter.

And that's why I want you to buy this solar energy stock right now, before it goes up any further.

A Solar Roof and Window on Every Home and Business

The fact is, solar roof tiles applied to new buildings provide the opportunity for substantial benefits as a competitive alternative to non-energy producing roof tiles.

Builders and manufacturers of building products already use roofing tiles. So they're especially attracted to the economic benefits of using similar materials that produce energy while continuing to function as an actual roof.

And with the increasing love affair solar is having with new, cost-efficient PV technologies, coupled with the outlook for green building growth, this stock is in a perfect position to take the lead in low-cost BIPV.

That's why I want to offer you my latest report, Endless Energy, completely FREE of charge when you become a member to my cutting-edge investment service, Green Chip Stocks.

Let me explain . . .

Welcome to Green Chip Stocks
Green Chip Stocks represent the most important stocks traded today, for one simple reason - these are the stocks that will be the catalysts for the first real profit trend of the 21st century.

A profit trend that is already worth more than $30 billion in its infancy!

Grabbing your share now is like getting a piece of the automobile market back in 1908. And I don't mean just Ford, either. I'm talking about the market as a whole. Oil, rubber tires, road construction, etc.

Turning the Green Movement into Mountains of Greenbacks
Let me introduce myself. My name is Jeff Siegel.

I worked for Agora Publishing between 1994 to 2001, learning about the financial markets from some of the top investment minds in the world.

For the past six years, I've been traveling the world investigating the current state and the future of energy.

My travels have taken me to Rome, London, New York . . . and everywhere in between.

Now, I was taught at Agora that the time to invest in a stock or industry is when nobody is talking about it. You sell it when everybody is talking about it.

And that's why I'm writing to you today.

I have a report I want to give you for joining my investment service, Green Chip Stocks.

The report is Endless Energy: The $0.50 Stock that'll Bring it to Every Home.

This report features my favorite energy stock, the company that develops revolutionary photovoltaic building materials.

Now trading for $0.50 a share, I think this stock is a potential blockbuster, and could return over 750% in just a few years.

Simply fill out your membership form and I'll immediately send you a username and password that'll give you access to the report.

Plus, when you join Green Chip Stocks, you'll receive my members-only weekly letter, which updates you on current positions and alerts you to new stocks I'm recommending.

So, you get the report Endless Energy, plus 52 issues of Green Chip Stocks.

Not a bad deal . . . for just $79 a year.

Especially when you consider our track record.

The fact is, we were the first to launch this kind of service focusing strictly on "green" markets.

And we were the first to bring our readers stocks like XsunX (XSNX.OB), which we sold for a 545.95% gain, and Regi U.S. (RGUS.OB), which we sold for a 218% gain, and Wild Oats (OATS:NASDAQ), which we sold for a 74.5% gain.

For less than $0.22 a day, you just can't beat gains like that!

And this next one - our $0.50 solar BIPV stock - is already shaping up to be our next triple-bagger.

So don't wait.

Get it now while it's still trading below a buck.

Sincerely,



Jeff Siegel

Honestly this sounds like one of those letters that advertize OTCBB stocks with no revenues. Same writing style. But definitely intriguing :)

Bingo, I nailed it.. I can smell this garbage a mile away...

Did a search on Jeff Siegel....

Here is a sample article... Featured stocks are... EHNX.OB and AENS.OB .. what else.

http://www.energyand...hanol-plant/318


Don't waste your time and money. Plenty of good solid companies to invest into.

If you want the real powerhouse of alternative energies, go no further then BP. These guys have their tentacles in every alternative enrgy possible. Their are one of the largest Solar players in the US market for example.. surprized ?

Yes, its not very exciting, but its trading at 10 p/e and will one day probably overpower Exxon.

But there are plenty others.

All the skepticism is probably on the money, given the way agora operates.

That said, its iPower, aka Integrated Power Corp. Can't find it listing anywhere so probably private. So what does Siegel say ... public can't invest in this one, but sign on and I'll share my NEXT tip? Right.

Before y'all invest your money in "green" energy, think about this. There is easily 100 to 300 years worth of oil is still in the ground. Once a green energy business becomes popular & successful, all the oil producers have to do is drop the price for a few months and the green business can go bankrupt in a hurry. Just be careful.

I love it when these guys say "we use fantastic technology developed by NASA" IIRC, ALL solar panels are derived from NASAs technology in or around 78, ie solar is what they developed to allow space vehicles to generate their own energy. BTW, in space of our solar system, the sun shines every day, there are never any annoying cloudy days, in fact there isnt even atmosphere between the sun and the panel to drag on the energy production potential (also, a negative for wind power, that) - better than the Mojave for sun power! :)klh
