America is entering into a time of Energy crisis. It could easily be the greatest crisis that human-kind is to face. America can not continue to lead the world econimcally and drain it dry at the same time. The National Collegiate Clean Energy Initiative is working to unite American students and citizens alike, to demand CLEAN ENERGY POLICY.

The FED Chairman, Mr. Alan Greenspan was on

capitol hill in the semi-annual monetarypolicy

meeting with congress. (also known as the Humphrey

Hawkins meeting)While Mr. Greenspan was mostly upbeat

about the economy (Note: I am not as up beat) he made

some very troubling remarks.

Mr. Greenspan commented that the..."Long-term futures

for crude oil...going 10-years out...have risen

substantially in the last few years...and are being

sustained at these levels..."

Now... the market is a discounting mechinism. Has the

futures market begun to discount PEAK OIL? I believe

the answer is YES! In REAL DOLLARS, crude needs to get

over $100/brl to equal the peak of the 70's crunch.

It is extremely crucial that clean energy comes to

market NOW - being infront of this curveball will

determine our future and the state of our economy.

What is just as troubling is that I have not heard any

covering of this in the media.?



ENERGY ESP #2

I believe the greatest crisis that Human-Kind has ever

seen has begun. America, a country founded on the

basis of freedom is under attack by unstoppable

inflating energy prices, and it has just begun. The

situation in the middle-east is escalating with no end

in sight, as relations with the OPEC countries has

begun to fall apart. Believing the promises of Saudi

Oil is not an option. With horrifying accounting

scandals of greed in our country.... who truly

believes that the OPEC countries will be honest with

us regarding the oil reserves; or anything else for

that matter?! It is common knowledge of the recent

events at Shell and their false statements of

reserves. It will not stop there I'm sure. While Saudi

Arabia has been pumping water to flush out oil from

their depleting reserves since the mid-late 90's . . .

more problems are developing. Americans are being told

to leave the middle-east. We all know that we need

those Americans in the OPEC countries in order for us

to actually get the oil to American soil. Should

America, the largest and most powerful nation in the

world be relying so much on foreign energy??



From an Economic point of view, RENEWABLE ENERGY, such

as wind and solar energy will be a long-term net

positive, not only for Long Islands' economy . . . for

the nations' economy as well. Just as in the Aviation

industry many years ago, Long Island became the

National Economic Leader and was looked upon with

great admiration. Long Island Thrived. It will take

two years to begin construction of the wind park off

Jones Beach. By that time, oil prices will be much

higher then where it is now acting as a devastating

tax on American Citizens. This is a once in a lifetime

opportunity must not be missed. It simply makes

dollars and sense.



The DOE predicts that the price of Crude Oil will

climb until around the year 2025 and then peak. If

true this means that Peak oil is now. Supply has

already begun to decline as not one OPEC country has

claimed new oil finds. Let us not forget the two wild

cards; China and India. America is now at the mercy of

two countries growing by leaps and bounds. We have no

control and it has only begun to effect us all. In

terms of REAL dollars, to reach the equivalent price

of oil during the energy crisis of the 70's.?Oil

would need to go to over $100 dollars a barrel. $40 is

simply a drop in the bucket.??



Supply is going down - Demand is going up. This is the

current long-term situation and it is not going away -

UNLESS.

Wind Power will give Long Island Independence from the

volatile and raising energy prices ahead. It will give

stability to our children and our grandchildren.?It

will give them a chance.

"?.I'm driving my daughter to school as we always do

and she bursted out?singing the song she learned for

her pre-K graduation, "I'm Proud To Be an American."

By the time she was in the plains of Minnesota and the

hills of Tennessee I was glad I had my sunglasses

on.... my eyes were flooded. This is not the same

world that we were born into... and I for one... am

scared for my children."

On behalf of students across the country who are

fighting for the future, on behalf of the National

Collegiate Clean Energy Initiative please ADVOCATE and

vote for CLEAN ENERGY POLICY.



ENERGY ESP #3

The National Democratic Convention began on Monday as

President Clinton gave his usual "Reagan-like" speech.

It has been interesting to listen to all of the

members of the Democratic party give praise for John

Kerry as the next President of the U.S.A.?What has

been more interesting is listening to the united

conviction towards "clean energy," "energy

independence and energy sustain-ability."?In almost

every speech that included policy, "clean energy" and

"energy independence" or simply a good "energy policy"

was numero uno.

The Electric Power Research Institute estimates that

power outages and power quality disturbances cost

businesses in the U.S. more than $120 billion a year.

This goes hand and hand as the infrastructure is older

than my grandfather.

In the New Growth Initiative Apollo Alliance for

Energy Independence plan, bio-fuels and energy

efficiency investments alone could produce over one

million jobs by 2015.?



Tonight, John Edwards will speak to the country. Will

"clean energy" and "energy independence" be on his

agenda??



Every time President Clinton spoke of the future of

jobs, the first industry on the list was the "clean

energy" industry.

Now . . . by no means do I anticipate the republican

convention to be any different. Do you?

Stay tuned for a complete breakdown of the NATIONAL

COLLEGIATE CLEAN ENERGY INITIATIVE'S positions' on

Clean Energy policy...or lack there of.

Crude oil is now at $43 per barrel reaching new highs.

Or Are they. Lets not forget that about $114 is the

actually peak of the Yom-Kippour War. My how short the

human memory could be. John Kerry gave an emotional

speech full of great rhetoric. In the last ESP I was

waiting to listen for ENERGY information. What will he

do? When will he do it? When time came to talk policy,

he said he was going "say something FDR couldn't do at

his speech,... goto JohnKerry.com" So JohnKerry.com it

is...



What did we find? "...Investing in future technology,

today..."?Fuel Cell vehicles were mentioned. Clean

Energy efficiencies..." yadadad... Nothing truly in

depth as I had hoped for. I remind you,reader, that

this is a NON-PARTISAN effort to advocate for CLEAN

ENERGY. With that said...why do you goto JohnKerry.com

then goto Georgebush.com and see if there is a button

on their site called "Energy." When you find it...read

and compare. THIS IS IMPORTANT!!



So needless to say I was a little let down at the

level of importance that Clean Energy and Renewable

Energy was given. THAT, my fellow advocates...is why

there is now the NATIONAL COLLEGIATE CLEAN ENERGY

INITIATIVE.

Soon...very soon, a massive email campaign will begin.

It will go to many student organizations around the

country. But until than, much work needs to be done.



ENERGY ESP #5

There is a lot of talk as of late about something

called "clean-coal." Kerry promises 20% of the

countries electricity via renewable energy sources

proposing "clean-coal." Is there such a thing? YES!

A company by the name of Headwaters Inc. (HDWR on the

NASDAQ) based in South Jordan Utah, Headwaters seems

to be leading the way in creating a "clean-coal"

environment. Through it's subsidiary Coval Fuels, a

coal based synthetic fuel is available that is "safe,

odorless and easy to handle. They do not increase

HAPs, VOCs, Sox or Nox emissions and do not fall under

any hazardous material regulations."

Attorney Generals from eight states including New

York, Iowa and California file lawsuit last month

against utilities including Cinergy Corp., Xcel

Energy, and Southern Company just to name a few, for

dumping a stagering 10% of the countries emitted

greenhouse gases. The question is simple. Did they

know what they were doing? Did they know these gases

were harmful to people? Did they care? Apparently they

are not being fined for anything from the past. They

are simply being asked to decrease harmful emissions.

Is that enough? Shouldn't there be some kind of

accountability? Why... remember when the EPA was first

formed. We knew then that talons killed.



Global Warming said to be responsible for an

ecological catastrophe as the coastal waters of

Scotland warm. Scores of skuas, terns and guillemots

(all birds) are not breeding. The small fish they eat

is moving closer to colder waters, hence there is not

enough food. "Just a foretaste of what lies ahead," -

Tony Juniper of the Friends of the Earth.

STUDENTS OF AMERICA - STAND UP! WAKE UP! REALIZE THE

IMPORTANCE OF CLEAN ENERGY AND ENERGY INDEPENDENCE!!!

JOIN NCCEI AND BE ACCOUNTED FOR!!!



ENERGY ESP #6 8/10/05

Fed raises Discount rate 1/4%...why not...

Crude now at $44.5... and the charts spell "higher" -

plan and clear. Commodity prices have stabilized in

the past months... - only a buying opportunity in my

view. Lets not forget... we've entered into a SECULAR

BULL MARKET IN COMMODITIES!!



Yukos up in the air! Accounts frozen one minute... not

frozen the next. Which is it going to be Mr. Putin?

I'm sure he doesn't mind the price of crude going

higher... Mr. Putin figures... Russia has more oil

then people think... if you include all that

wilderness over there and lets not forget about

Putins' attempts to tap into the potential oil under

those frozen (or not so frozen anymore) ice-caps. So

when crude is at $100/brl they will have some amazing

crude finds...I'm sure. It would be nice... since

there hasn't been any oil reserve finds in how

long...?



Can anyone find any oil from Iraq yet... not me...

they keep having to shut-down plants... you know...

that terrorism thing.?



Lets talk about ETHANOL - How much money could the

farmers make if the farmers could farm ethanol? How

about turning all that High Fructose Corn Syrup into

Ethanol instead??? Do you know the average person

consumes 63lbs?of HFC per year. Oh we're fat alright!

Allocation of resources... Allocate more farmed corn

to produce Ethanol... instead of HFC. Think Coke will

go for that?



When ever NCCEI hears about an ENVIRONMENTALLY

friendly company we will do our best to spread the

word...



New Belgium Brewing Company, from Ft. Collins CO. is

the first American Brewery to be powered by 100% WIND

Energy. New Belgium is also proud of it's recycling

efforts. The best part is... this is an employee owned

company. The employees voted to forgive some of their

profit sharing plan (options) in order to make this

happen. WAY TO GO!!!! And guess what...profits are

up!!

The company is gaining market share as Beer drinkers

are paying attention. This is a perfect example of the

long term economic benefits to using a 100% renewable

energy source. Don't let me forget the energy company

supplying the power - VESTAS.

VESTAS Wind Systems A/S - This Denmark based global

leader in Wind generation sure is making a name for

it's self. Keep up the good work!!
