Analysis by: Les Burk, CFO,Fort Irwin to build a 500 megawat solar farm | solar.coolerplanet.com

GE Infrastructure, GE Wind, GE... the list goes on and I am confident that all of the right people are talking to the right people.

Analysis by: Mike Riegel, Owner,Business-Jet Demand Likely to Skid Before Regaining Lift | online.wsj.com
1) A brief historical review will show any casual observer that new jet deliveries lag wider economic recovery by some 12 months. 2) Demand heading into the current downturn was already dominated by international demand. 3) What most forecasts fail to highlight is who the winners will be as the business jet market recovers. Unlike prior cycles, some demand sources will be late to the party, and demand will not be evenly distributed across all OEMs and service providers.

The business jet cycle has certainly hit rock bottom, but will not show clear signs of recovery for at least six months. This recovery will be unique, in that there is significantly more competition, in virtually all major business aviation segments. As a result, understanding who will recover more quickly, and more sustainably, will require much more detailed analysis than before.
