Sky Power Solutions Corp. (SPOW) Announces Upgraded Version of Stand Alone Residential Solar Dish

Sky Power Solutions Corp., an emerging leader in the development and marketing of next generation lithium-powered batteries worldwide, and a leading developer of residential concentrated solar collector power systems, was pleased to announce this morning an engineering enhancement in the design of their stand alone, residential, solar concentrating system to provide heat recapture for users of its solar power system giving them free hot water.

With an optional upgrade, the Sky Power Solutions’ Residential, Standalone unit will have the ability to capture the heat resulting from the concentration of solar power for use within the Sky Power Solutions collectors to provide hot water. “This helps with the heat management issue encountered with the development of the dish, as well as providing users the additional benefit of electricity savings by getting free hot water,” says Rich Ralston, with Sky Power Solutions Corp. He goes on to say, “We feel we can capture most ALL the energy in our process and pass it on to our users for beneficial use.”

The residential solar power station will have the ability to reduce the average user’s monthly electric grid consumption by up to 30-40% with no emissions or a carbon footprint, using only the power of the sun. Visually appealing, the Sky Power Solutions system can easily be installed in most backyards taking less than one third of the space of conventional Solar panels. The entry level price point for a Sky Power Solutions-Concentrated Solar electric system is projected to be $5,000 at release. Multiple units can be combined for increased capacity.

SEFE, Inc. (SEFE) Primed for Explosive Growth in both US and Global Energy Markets

SEFE, Inc., a true energy provider, driven by a bold vision of plugging directly into the global atmospheric electric circuit via a highly adaptable, remotely networked and proprietary technology platform, has devised an ingenious growth strategy for the US and global energy markets.

The most recent incarnateion of SEFE’s patented technology, the Harmony III commercial grade system, was designed to be robust, easy to implement and user-configurable from the start, such that the system can be deployed anywhere and generate current usable by any localized source.

Using a dynamically controlled suspended tether and electrically isolated platform, in conjunction with proprietary converter and safety weather balloon technology, the system is readily deployable and integrates seamlessly as a global network which can connect to power grids via SEFE’s patented Network Operations Center (NOC), using secure-encrypted wireless.

Recent testing under sub-optimal conditions of this easily reconfigurable platform, at mere altitudes of 200-300 feet, successfully validated the system’s performance envelope and projections.

We may have our power grid, consisting of a vast array of hardware and technological infrastructure, but nature has its own power grids and one of them is directly above us. The Company has devised an intellectual property-backed, full-spectrum platform that will allow users to connect their power grid to the power grid in the sky, drawing on the continuous flow of electricity in the atmosphere itself.

The amazing marketability of this platform is obvious for utilities, industries like mining and manufacturing, military and relief organizations, as well as a variety of other potential applications due to the adaptability of the component architecture design.

With a system that statistically crushes nuclear (79% savings) and alternative energy like wind (57% savings) on cost, which is also easy to deploy and maintain, generating no significant carbon footprint, SEFE stands poised to offer a technology that can not only address state policy requirements on energy providers for renewable energy, but also turn a nice profit.

One of the biggest energy markets in the US, California, has set a 33% renewable power target by 2030, creating an ideal opportunity for SEFE, especially when one considers the overall receptivity to emergent technology and energy innovation, for which CA has become known.

A $33B domestic market for renewable energy inputs, projected to grow by 11% this year alone (Datamonitor Market Research Profiles), is squaring off with massive increases in demand for energy across the board and mounting limitations on oil/gas production.

The Company has assembled a team tasked with domestic proliferation and a goal to roll out 200 SEFE units (the load capacity of one NOC configuration) nationwide within 48 months.

The global impact of this technology would be immense and impossible to quantify; it works anywhere and taps into an essentially continuous supply of raw energy. SEFE realizes the market potential in China, India, Australia and the EU, and is currently pursuing strategic partnerships.

Pioneer Behavioral Health (PHC) Acquires MeadowWood Behavioral, Extending Market Reach and Accelerating Growth Strategy

Pioneer Behavioral Health, a leading provider of inpatient and outpatient behavioral health services operating under PHC Inc., today announced that it recently completed its acquisition of MeadowWood Behavioral Health, located in New Castle, Delaware.

The acquisition offers PHC entrance into a new market and feeds the company’s mission of securing a stronger position nationwide. Pioneer anticipates expanding the MeadowWood facility itself, and said it is seeking approval to add about 36 beds to the facility in the next year.

“The combination of PHC and MeadowWood Behavioral Health furthers our goal of creating a national footprint and creates a stronger company, and this acquisition is highly synergistic to PHC,” Bruce A. Shear, Pioneer’s president and CEO stated in the press release.

MeadowWood generated $14.6 million in revenues for the 12 months ended Dec. 31, 2010, accounting for approximately 30 percent of fiscal 2010 full-year patient care revenue.

PHC’s plan is to improve efficiency by keeping the current staff at MeadowWood under PHC management, thereby spreading more beds across the same operating leadership.

“We are excited to add the MeadowWood facility, including its skilled and experienced health care team which has a reputation for high quality care, to the PHC organization,” Shear stated. “In addition, MeadowWood’s margins should help improve PHC’s margins after the acquisition is fully integrated into the PHC system. We expect this transaction to be immediately accretive and represent a future growth opportunity for our company.”

Institutional Buying Could Push Uranium Energy Corp. (UEC) Higher

Uranium stocks were hard-hit in the wake of last March’s earthquake and tsunami and the resulting disaster at Japan’s Fukushima nuclear plant. A number of countries have put plans to build nuclear reactors on hold, and the price of uranium is down from around $75 a pound at its January high to around $57 a pound.

It would be easy and logical to believe that the outlook for uranium stocks is going to be uninspiring for a long time to come, but when I look at the long-term charts of stocks like Cameco (CCJ), Dennison Mines (DNN), Uranerz Energy (URZ), Uranium Resources (URRE) and others, I see two things: These stocks are on long-term support levels and they appear to be making a stand and sketching out base formations. In other words, what the action in these stocks is suggesting is that the death of nuclear power may be greatly exaggerated.

One stock in particular that has caught my eye is Uranium Energy Corp. (UEC), which dropped from $7 to below $3 in the aftermath of Fukushima. UEC intrigues me for three reasons.

First, the stock appears to be sketching out a nice base after bottoming around $2.75 in May. Any move above $3.30 would complete that base, and would suggest that UEC has embarked on a new uptrend. Second, on June 14 UEC announced that it had landed its first multi-year uranium sales contract. Up until this point, UEC has been developing uranium properties and producing uranium but has had virtually no revenue. The value in the stock has come from the value of its properties and reserves.

Since UEC began production in November 2010, it has produced 100,000 pounds of uranium at a cost of approximately $15 per pound. In each successive quarter, production has more than doubled while production costs have declined. In addition, the estimated value of its reserves has been rising sharply. But with the announcement that UEC had secured a three-year contract to deliver 300,000 pounds of uranium over three years starting in August 2011, Uranium Energy crossed over a threshold that should attract new attention to this company as a viable new producer of uranium with cash flow.

The third reason I find UEC interesting is that it has been attracting a great deal of buying from institutional investors. A number of large, well-known institutions bought major stakes in UEC in the first quarter of 2011. Oppenheimer Funds, which owns around 6% of UEC, added over 1 million shares to its position in the quarter ended March 31. Munder Capital Management bought an initial stake of nearly 1.8 million shares in the March quarter; US Global Investors bought over 1 million shares; Global X Management bought nearly 1.3 million shares; Integrity Asset Management bought over 1.1 million shares; and Van Eck Associates took an initial position of 970,415 shares.

Some of these positions were undoubtedly taken prior to the March nuclear meltdown in Japan, and it will be very interesting to see how many of these institutional investors added to their stakes in UEC during the June quarter after the stock had declined dramatically.

What these purchases indicate to me is that some very smart investors not only have Uranium Energy Corp. on their radar screens but that they were willing to take major stakes in the company in an early stage of its development and prior to the generation of any significant revenue. What this means to me is that if UEC delivers on its potential — which it appears to be doing — these investors and others like them will more than likely raise their stakes, providing ongoing support for the stock … and that continuing good news will find a readily receptive audience and translate into a steadily rising stock price.

My bet is that UEC has seen its low and that it’s already embarked on a new uptrend. Watch for a breakout above $3.30 to confirm that uptrend.
