(A) With regard to natural resources,

China is the world’s wood-based panel producer. While the wood-based panel industry, which really belong to resource-dependent industries. Lack of domestic natural resource endowment, international environmental voice of the grim situation caused by imports of raw materials and the upsurge in tension between social needs, determine the limitations of China’s wood-based panel industry and enterprise to survive the difficult nature. Wood-based panel highlight the lack of wood raw material reflected in the following aspects: 1. As the natural forest protection project in the implementation of major ecological engineering, China’s timber production is gradually reduced; 2. Resources of structural deficiency: Plywood with large diameter class material, hardwood timber, especially valuable hardwood, are alarmingly scarce. For a long time mainly depend on import. Large-diameter grade hardwood, mainly from Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia and other regions, but in these areas in recent years, a sharp decline of tropical timber resources.

3. Raw material base construction: Although China’s fast growing forest base construction in the 20th century and the mid-80s has been rapid development. But they are concentrated in a number of ecologically sensitive areas not suitable to provide timber. Another. As the paper raw material swallowed by the rapid development of the wood shortage of raw materials needed for the conflict intensified. Lack of resources led to our logs, plywood and other timber prices above world market average. For wood-based panels in a low-profit status of the whole industry is concerned, the narrow room for downward movement with the high cost of making the development of wood-based panel industry are severely constrained, in the competition in a very unfavorable position. Raw material shortage is affecting the international competitiveness of China’s wood-based panel industry, the most important disadvantage factor.

China’s Wood-Based Panel Industry

Under normal circumstances, a performance of the industrial development in external markets is more prone to domestic and foreign competitors in the same industry attention, as our country’s wood-based panel industry, improve its competitive position despite the dominant, but recessive level is still a lot of implicit问题. Therefore, it is necessary to combine the impact the competitiveness of wood-based panel industry, many of the elements from the analysis of the root causes of the situation of the industry’s competitiveness.

“The second round of the green industry in Guangdong Investment Fund (hereinafter referred to as the green fund) selection is under way, the company would have to question two days later to determine whether the short-listed.”
March 31, Texstar Photoelectric Lighting Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to Texstar) General Manager Xiong Yingxiang to disclose, after the first round of screening, more than 60 companies apply only to the remaining 28, the final or only 3 companies 上榜.
It is understood that the green energy industry fund Guangdong Guangdong Province in late 2009 initiated the establishment of the first only in science and technology for the domestic financial industry, the combination of investment funds, based on the size of its 5.0 billion fund – guide by the government 50 million yuan of funds and common form of social capital 4.95 billion yuan, Guangdong Development Bank and China Everbright Bank jointly supporting 20 billion yuan.
The occasion of the gate in the green fund industry who lack a clear look. Liu Zhen, general manager of Quantum Optoelectronics remind the Chinese enterprises lack the core LED patents, violations of international intellectual property cases LED five plant is very common, he thinks part of the Green Fund as an investment fund should be used to purchase seven shares our patents or to solve the problems of this patent license.
25 billion funds target
Huge amount corresponding to 25 billion green fund, Guangdong Import EMC (Energy Management Contract) model, and the establishment of EMC alliance. EMC is a new market-oriented energy-saving mechanism, its essence is to reduce energy costs to pay the full cost of the energy saving project operational modalities.
“EMC alliance” registered by the China Energy Conservation Equipment Manufacturers (LED plant), energy-saving equipment, raw materials suppliers, financial institutions, testing institutions, construction, engineering design, bidding companies, law firms and other related enterprises and units .
Xiong Yingxiang explained, “EMC Alliance” Alliance members will enjoy their rights to bring the production company’s financial support available to banks will also have access to funds invested 25 billion yuan in Guangdong Province LED lights transform the contract. Green Fund to support planning in accordance with the 2010 in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, Dongguan, Shenzhen and other cities building 1,500 km of total mileage, size of about 100 000 of LED street lamp demonstration and extension projects.
“The introduction of Green Fund is a market initiative to promote industrial upgrading.” Investment fund operating in Guangdong Green Industry Office of the Zhongshao Feng told reporters, Guangdong Shenzhen as the leading companies and more than 2,600 LED lighting, LED lighting and the province in 2009 related industry output value reached 31 billion yuan, “EMC project saving rate is generally 10% -40%, can promote the technological innovation of enterprises”, but also a short return on investment.
As early as 2009, the Guangdong cities have conducted pilot LED lamps. Xiong Yingxiang predicts boost in the green fund, this year will speed expansion of domestic LED market, “Annual sales will be about 10 times last year.”
Upstream investment
LED lights as the entry point to industry’s rapid fire, became the capital chase the deer in the park. LED high-tech Enterprise Development National Professional Committee Hao Zheng Wen said the expected amount of investment in the domestic LED industry will reach 60 billion yuan, compared with more than 100 billion yuan last year, 500%.
“Although China’s LED industry investment and capacity expansion to speed up, but 70% of the focus on the downstream part of the integration of applications, the lack of upstream core technologies.” Shenzhen Han Tian Zhen Yue Wu, chairman of technology companies are concerned. Han Fei Wang Ningling law firm lawyers confirmed, LED industry has a feature, patent protection is very powerful, recently a lot of foreign companies to visit China frequently to see if your intellectual property rights have been violated.
The current capital-intensive chips, for example, semiconductor Industry Association published in 2009 China’s semiconductor lighting industry data show that when the scale of China’s LED industry totaled 82.7 billion yuan, but it only reached 60 billion yuan lighting applications, LED production value of 20.4 billion package , while the middle reaches of the capital-intensive chip reached only 2.3 billion.
According to statistics, China’s LED chip number of firms to 62, packaging plants in more than a thousand, related to downstream applications are nearly 2,000 companies, upstream of few. LED Lighting more than 50% of the core patent to be Japan’s Nichia and Toyoda Gosei, the United States, Career (CREE) monopoly of the five major manufacturers.
Liu Zhen, general manager of Quantum Optoelectronics this bluntly, it is an application that street lamp products, key components of chip packaging and power supplies and more need to import from abroad, which means profits upstream end, “25 billion fund to back, in fact, Most of or for the foreign service. “
LED patent analysis as a national team, Liu Zhen proposals in basic research and the current domestic production does exist upstream of the soft underbelly of the day and night non-solvable, upstream companies can invest in intellectual property litigation out of the trap.
Xiong Yingxiang agrees, but that fund has been locked on the industrial investment function, “so it should be reorganized to a new fund to do this thing.”

Stocks in Solar/Renewable Energy Industry?

The company I’m working for is willing to give me stock options at $.25/share… I never ownned stock before and I dont have any clue how this works, all I know is that if the company grows, my stock grows… I was woondering if Im getting a good deal. The company is still private and its going public this year..

Solar/Renewable Energy Industry a good place to invest your money? Does it yeild big return?

I’m just wondering if this new Cap&Trade legislation is more than meets the eye.

Does anyone know how many congressman have investments in industries that will AUTOMATICALLY begin to make money when mandated use of “green energy” is put into law??

Meaning how many of these Congressman have a conflict of interest?? (Kinda like Chris Dodd’s wife sits on FOUR healthcare company boards, YET Dodd is writing healthcare legislatino)
Oh brother, much thanks for the links!!!!
