Review: Capstone is a dog. Always has been, always will be. For lots of reasons, small turbines are a niche market product. Capstone won't admit it, but not finding a mass market for their product means they will never be profitable. No profit = dog.

Review: This article has a good insight in the so called green stocks. In my opinion, two stocks that should be highlighted for their good long -erm future by simple laws of nature is QTWW and CPST. As dwindling fossil fuel resources run out (oil according to the most optimistic estimates by 2030) two things have to and will be done. Stationary energy use has to and will become more efficient and that is where CPST comes to provide a very good product. On the other hand, more non-stationary energy use efficiency is needed to control the rising demand and therefore oil prices. QTWW hydrogen and the recent stake at Advanced Lithium Power Inc. diversify their product line and position the company in the upcoming "future vehicles" market.

Review: The Merriman Curhan Ford analyst is leaving out some rather important information about QTWW. Some examples: 1) The analyst correctly notes that QTWW has sold hydrogen tanks to Toyota, but failed to note that Toyota had to recall fuel cell vehicles three times because of leaks in the QTWW tanks. As QTWW's own SEC filings note, Toyota has since decided to develop hydrogen tanks in-house. 2. The analyst discusses QTWW's H2 tanks, but doesn't note that QTWW gets well over 90% of its revenue producing vanity parts and other aftermarket components for gas-guzzling trucks, SUVs, vans, muscle cars. 3. The analyst refers to QTWW as an industry leader in hydrogen tanks, but fails to note that GM, the US Department of Energy, and QTWW itself consider compressed-H2 storage to be a dead end. Researchers have not identified a path by which compressed-H2 tanks can meet the cost and performance goals of commercial automobiles. The DOE has shifted funding away from compressed H2 research.
