Last week, Paul Davidson at USA Today told us about how Sodium-sulfur (NaS) batteries can increase the reliability and efficiency of the grid.
On Monday, Keith Johnson of The Wall Street Journal told us that Wind Turbine Makers can’t keep up with demand. [Subscription only.] Investment tip: this should be good for 2nd and 3rd-teir turbine makers who otherwise would not be able to sell their products. I’ve noticed this in a flurry of turbine sales by Composite Technology Corp. (CPTC.ob), a company I own not for their turbine business, but instead because I see great potential for their transmission business.
