US-Präsident George W. Bush muss sich in der Klimadebatte Kritik von seinen bisher treuesten Verbündeten anhören. 85 Führer der religiösen Rechten der USA haben Gesetze zum Schutz der Umwelt verlangt - und sich damit offen gegen die Politik Washingtons gestellt.
mal wieder Bodenbildung bei 8 cent...nicht grad schön, aber von hier könnte es mal wieder nen Hüpfer nach oben geben...dann werd ich aber auch nen SL setzen, um den eventuellen Rutsch darauf abzusichern...wenn das öfter so geht, kann man vielleicht sogar Geld damit verdienen ;-)...wir werden sehen...
Die Prognosen am Ölmarkt überschlagen sich in diesen Tagen.
Die Krise im Iran und die Anschläge auf Ölinfrastruktur in Nigeria haben den Ölpreis wieder über 65 Dollar je Barrel ansteigen lassen. Die Märkte fürchten, dass der Iran möglicherweise als Öllieferant ausfallen könnte. Was das bedeuten würde, hat nun Bill Browder, CEO des Hedgefonds Hermitage Capital Management, vorgerechnet.
Ein Zusammenbruch des saudischen Königshauses und ein Wegfall der saudischen Öllieferungen könnte nach Einschätzung von Browder den Ölpreis auf 262 Dollar ansteigen lassen. Doch er sieht Preisexplosionen auch in anderen Fällen:
Der Iran erklärt ein Ölembargo wie die OPEC im Jahr 1973. Dies könnte den Ölpreis auf 131 Dollar je Barrel katapultieren.
Ein Embargo, verhängt durch den venezuelanischen Präsidenten Hugo Chavez, würde den Ölpreis auf 111 Dollar je Barrel anheben.
Ein Bürgerkrieg in Nigeria - 98 Dollar je Barrel.
Aufstände und Ausschreitungen in Algerien ? 79 Dollar je Barrel.
Große Anschläge auf Ölinfrastruktur im Irak - 88 Dollar pro Barrel.

Veridium Announces Fuel Pump Designed to Reward Consumers of Clean Fuels; New Technology Relies on Integral 'At-the-Pump' Blending to Enable Increased Consumer Participation in Tax Credits
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 13, 2006--Veridium Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: VRDM) today announced that its industrial design division has filed for patent protection on an innovative new way to distribute renewable fuels that is designed to incentivise use of more renewable fuels by gas station owners and consumers.
The U.S. government has made economic incentives available through the use of tax credits to producers and blenders of renewable fuels. These tax incentives have contributed in vital and important ways to the increased production and use of clean fuels. Veridium's new technology is designed to enable downstream distributors, gas station owners and consumers to participate in the economic benefit of the tax credits.
David Winsness, the chief executive officer of Veridium's industrial design division, said that "Our design objective for the new pump was to help advance the goals of the tax credit while helping to increase the use of clean fuels by more consumers more quickly."
Background
The applicable tax credit is $1.00 per gallon for every gallon of biodiesel that is blended with petroleum-based diesel, and it is available specifically to the taxpayer that actually blends the two fuels. These companies typically blend the two fuels at 2%, 5% and 20% concentrations, which correspond to the B2, B5 and B20 blends, and the tax credits have historically helped these companies to offset the cost of the related infrastructure.
Veridium believes that the tax credits can be used in similar ways to help drive infrastructure into gas stations with a view towards increasing the number of stations at which consumers can purchase clean fuels. The new fuel pump is designed to allow the consumer to select their desired biodiesel blend (from 0% to 99%). This enables gas station owners to qualify for tax credits that are proportionate to the blend and to pass some of the economic benefit associated with that blend to consumers in the form of favorable pricing.
Veridium plans to exclusively license the technology to its joint venture partner, Mean Green BioFuels Corporation, who will then toll manufacture and sell private labelled fuel pumps to gas station owners and large quantity consumers of diesel fuel initially in regions that are proximate to biodiesel production facilities and terminals.
Veridium and Mean Green are all portfolio companies of GreenShift Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: GSHF), a publicly traded business development company (BDC) whose mission is to develop and support companies and technologies that facilitate the efficient use of natural resources and catalyze transformational environmental gains.

im Amiland geht es in den Foren zu wie unter aller Sau, aber ich denke Kreisler hat das im Griff und wir werden noch einiges mit der Aktie verdienen. Die grüne Welle kommt erst noch und keine traut sich wirklich daran zu glauben.
Es muss nur mal wieder ein kleines Zeichen aus der Politik kommen und schon geht es ab. Schaut Euch Eop Biodiesel an, da geht zur Zeit auch nichts, weil keiner genau im Bilde ist, wie es mit der Politik weitergeht. Es gibt aber nur eine Richtung.
