White House, NASA Go Solar

"Carter installed solar panels in '79, but Reagan removed them."

The White House announced plans to install solar panels and a solar hot water heater on the roof. These two solar installations will be part of a DOE demonstration project to show that American solar technologies are available and reliable for installation in homes throughout the country, according to the DOE.

President Jimmy Carter installed solar panels on the White House's West Wing 31 years ago, but they were removed by his successor, Ronald Reagan, reports Bloomberg.

"President Obama said the federal government has to lead by example in creating opportunity and jobs in clean energy," says White House Council Environmental Quality Chair Nancy Sutley.

The DOE will begin a competitive procurement process to select the installation contractor.

This announcement is made on the one-year anniversary of President Obama's Executive Order 13514 on Leadership in Environmental, Energy and Economic Performance.

Another case in point is NASA's John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC), which has begun installing a Sharp 79 KW solar array on the new Propellants North Facility. The solar array will provide enough renewable energy to completely power the facility with zero net energy consumption or carbon emissions annually.

The Propellants North Facility will also qualify for the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum certification.

Given the declining global gold production, mining companies’ demand for reserve replacement and the acute dearth of new gold discoveries, there is no doubt that real economic discoveries will be exceptionally valuable. . .the opportunity for stellar profits is the best it has probably ever been. Identifying the few successes, however, will require vigilant and constant technical assessment of geology and drill results, always with an eye to mine economics.

"Review process is extended an additional 45 days to allow six companies to return to the negotiating table for direct talks with government ministers."

I haven’t spoken to my old mining stock friend, noted and universally respected gold stock guru, Bob Bishop, about Rare Element in a year, but I hear he is still a supporter and very large shareholder. I don’t believe he will hold it against me to remind you that this was one of his favorite holdings when he left the newsletter writing business. . .

Appel, author of Financial Insights, first became bullish on uranium in mid-2003, when it appeared obvious that its supply versus demand equation was fated to seriously drive higher its price. Since then, a series of events in the uranium industry has led Appel to believe that uranium prices will reach never before seen levels.
