POPSAir Force and Renewables This is a nice read on the role of government's involvement in energy tech. It's also interesting to see SunPower (nasdaq: SPWR) here. That stock is off 40% from a 52-week high but still sells for 5.6 times sales.

POPSThe new realities of keeping up-cashing out Interesting commentary on the downsides of the lack of VC and IPO money buying out tech companies but the surprising upside as well - entrepreneurs can now run these same companies at a much lower cost.

POPSWeb pioneer Gross revitalized by green energy Bill Gross is the Ron Popeil of Internet entrepreneurs...or perhaps the failed car man and innovator Preston Tucker ;) I am excited to see what he will do with his alt energy incubator. Maybe he will once again innovate enough to help shape the green economy. But, with regard to his claim of becoming more disciplined than he was in the 90's...I'll take the under.

POPSStop calling it a recession As Dvorak noted in his observation of anecdotal evidence on Sunday’s TWiT, folks are still filling up their gas guzzlers on a daily basis, still commuting to the jobs that they still have, for companies that still exist, funded by venture capital that is still flowing - all this despite the increased pressure at the pump and the more limited value of the dollar.
