Freedom Environmental Services (Pink Sheets:FRDM) announced today that it has entered into negotiations to sell recycled vegetable oil to Northeast Biodiesel Company LLC for processing into biofuel. Northeast has stated it is interested in purchasing all the recycled vegetable oil that Freedom collects from its commercial clients.
Every restaurant, fast food or otherwise, that has a deep-fat fryer has used vegetable oil and is supposed to contract with a disposal company to pick up its used oil.
Solexant utilizes an extremely capital efficient “roll-to-roll” manufacturing technique to produce the industry’s first nanocrystal ultrathin-film solar cell. This method allows for more efficient use of equipment space, as well as higher throughput and lower labor costs than competing thin film companies. The company’s production process brings down the solar module manufacturing cost and total balance of systems (BOS) cost to below those of other thin film competitors.
Thin film solar is still not as efficient as monocrystalline and polycrystalline solar panels, but they are well on their way to being cheaper. An additional plus of thin-film solar is they can be used in situations where traditional panels cannot.
Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen: ‘This is a siege across the entire Gulf’
The bursting river of crude that is tainting the Gulf of Mexico — and has now begun to sully Florida’s coastline — should be significantly slowed by British Petroleum’s new containment cap, the company’s chief executive said Sunday.
But while BP head Tony Hayward proclaimed the cap will likely capture “the majority, probably the vast majority,” of oil gushing into the Gulf, the federal government’s oil-spill point-man focused on the bleak reality that surrounds that welcome bit of good news — and said the crisis would likely linger into autumn.
In a morning appearance on CBS’ Face the Nation, Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen warned that some additional oil will keep flowing into the Gulf of Mexico, despite the cap. Bottom line: The ongoing environmental catastrophe, now in its 49th day, will last “well into the fall,” Allen said.
“This is a siege across the entire Gulf,” Allen said.
A true stop to the oil flow can only be achieved after the deep-water gusher is fully cemented shut, which will require the completion of a relief well that’s still months away from being done.
