And when reviewing the data inputs to yesterday's 204 point romp, it is also easy to don the Dow10K hat once again and join in on the celebration.[More...]

Your Kind of Day?

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:06:48 GMT

As a rule, I try not to read too terribly much into a "Fed Day" as there is usually a big batch of volatility that may or may not mean much of anything come the dawn of the next day. Maybe, it's just me. Or maybe there are others that find themselves inclined to simply stand aside and watch the nuttiness from the sidelines on "Fed Days." But in any event, the volatility after a Fed announcement, while fun to watch, may not be telling as to what to expect in the future.[More...]

Solar power company drops out of plans for Carrizo Plain in eastern San Luis Obispo County: Another company, First Solar, buys the property in Carrizo Plain planned for solar thermal project; Ausra will continue to supply equipment

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:50:00 GMT

Nov. 5--A 177-megawatt solar thermal power plant proposed for the Carrizo Plain will not be built.
Doing so will now allow First Solar to reconfigure its Topaz Solar Farm, a large photovoltaic plant being planned nearby.
"The Topaz Solar Farm remains the same size, 550 megawatts, but the acquisition means one less solar project in the region and provides options for Topaz improvements like wildlife movement corridors and minimized use of Williamson Act land," said Kathryn Arbeit, First Solar business development director.
