Arrow Trucking --follow ups thoughts on its real troubles
March 8, 2010
I wrote my analysis in January commenting on a company that did violated a Federal law of plant closure and the obligation of its Directors and Officers to exercise prudence in care and loyalty ot the various stakeholder,but as the regulators state now, this is a Chapter 7 filing without a precedent where the company assets and Liabilities are unknown, & no officers appeared in court or offered any explanation and where the secured lenders were defrauded..its sounds more than chapter 7.

Our planet is certainly in need of more generation in the coming decade estimated at an additional 70-100GW .As conventional generation in fossil and others lose steam, Solar,Wind will fill the gap..lets gear up to this idea..less expensive, cleaner and independent energy generation is in our national interest..I hope that California is listening.
Bangladesh Needs Powering From Both Coal And Gas

Bangladesh to set up 1,320 MW joint venture power plant with India | www.individual.com
Power generation in Bangladesh is primarily from natural gas but not from coal due to enriched natural gas reserves in the eastern part of the nation. Coal deposits seem to be poor, and coal-fired plants must be relied on imported coal. From both technical and economical perspectives, to accelerate exploration and development of gas reserves in both onshore and offshore basins sounds more reasonable. Gas-fired power plants need gas for powering.

Toy Recall Shows Challenge China Poses to Partners | online.wsj.com
Quality has been the greatest challenge to buyers in China since the process began its stellar growth in the 80's. The consumer now 'reads the carton' and is better informed than ever before. There is mistrust of imports from developing countries, exacerbated by recalls such as experienced by Mattel, which attract disproportionate attention, in terms of levels of global trade. Buyers need to have extra vigilance as volumes start to recover and cost cutting measures that may have been implemented.

Oil Tops $78 to Year High on Inventory Drop, Weak Dollar | www.cnbc.com
There are two main drivers of last week's temporary record: the value of the US dollar, which makes every commodity more expensive and the ever increasing US consumption of gasoline and distillates. The guzzlers on US roads are increasing, and powering vehicles with natural gas is not pursued vigorously enough. The "Peak Oil Theory" is no longer a theory and finding oil will continue to be more and more difficult and expensive.
