Two Big Deals for Hot Desalination Company

Michael Kanellos: July 31, 2008, 5:26 AM
It's been a good month for Energy Recovery. The company, which makes energy efficient systems for desalinating seawater, pulled off an IPO in the beginning of July in the middle of a swoon on the stock market. The stock is trading in the $11 range, or 40 percent plus the initial price. Ironically, the IPO took place a day after there was much hand-wringing about the lack of IPOs.

A Killing (and Feeding) Machine for Algae

Breaking down the nutrients makes the nutrients easier to absorb (just as if you were incapacitated and someone pre-chewed your food for you.). Thus, the algae grow faster. Then, when it comes time to harvest water and other...

But today we get two big Solyndra contract announcements from: Solar Power, an OTC-traded, Shenzen-based module manufacturer and “vertically integrated, turnkey solar power solutions provider,??? with an agreement to purchase approximately $325M worth of Solyndra solar panels over the next five...
