Valcent's AlphaCrop Prototype Is Operational =======================================================================

(Marketwire -March 23, 2010) Valcent Products, http://www.valcent.net, today announces that the first prototype of the new AlphaCropTM vertical growing system has been delivered and is operational at the Company's facilities in Cornwall, England. AlphaCropTM complements the well established VertiCropTM system and is specially designed for smaller commercial growers and amateur growers looking for smaller but still highly cost effective compact units which demonstrate their commitment to growing fresh produce and reducing food miles.

"This premier unit has been designed to enable root crops such as baby carrots and salad potatoes to be grown, as well as fruit crops including strawberries," says Chris Bradford, President and CEO of

Valcent Products. "Plant trials with a variety of crops will commence

shortly, and it is expected that AlphaCropTM units will complement the production of leaf crops from the Company's larger VertiCropTM system.

AlphaCropTM will eventually be manufactured in three different sizes to suit a wide range of grower requirements."

"So far the performance of the prototype has met all our requirements" says Bradford "and within a few days the second prototype will be delivered which has been designed specifically for the keen amateur gardener and hobby grower. AlphaCropTM can be adapted to a variety of growing methods, employing a hydroponics system or using conventional growing media such as compost, to meet organic standards if required.

Together with the company's early success with the prototype comes the news that Launceston College will become the first academic institute in the world to use a vertical growing system both as an educational facility and also to provide fresh produce for their students.

Launceston College has recently been re-designated as a specialist technology center preparing students for science courses at University. The College will take delivery of the first commercial AlphaCropTM unit off the production line which will be used by the Applied Sciences department to introduce students to the concept of vertical farming, and by students in the Hospitality diploma course supplying fresh vegetables for their catering unit.

"We are really excited about the prospect of working with this ground breaking technology," said Claire Penfold, the College's Deputy Principal "We already have a close working relationship with Valcent Products who are our neighbors in Launceston, and our students visit their research facilities on a regular basis. When we heard about the AlphaCropTM development, we recognized immediately that it could play a key role in providing a practical demonstration of this new technology in a learning environment, and we will be working closely with the Valcent team to explore its full potential."

AlphaCropTM will be distributed throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland by Ikon International, who will be displaying the "hobby grower" version of the prototype on their stand at GROW 2010, the International Hydroponics Exhibition to be held in Manchester on 27th - 28th March.

AlphaCropTM will also be distributed through Em-Link LLC, the Boston based Master Distributor for Valcent products in the United States, who have already secured significant interest for the company's VertiCropTM system in a number of major US cities.

So, when can we have virus-made hydrogen pumps at the local 7-11? Belcher won't speculate on how long it might take to develop this into a commercial product, but she says that within two years she expects to have a prototype device that can carry out the whole process of splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen using a self-sustaining and durable system.

Re: News Release - Wednesday, April 28, 2010

Greenhouse Entrepreneur, Stephen Kenneth Fane, Joins Valcent's

Advisory Board =======================================================================

BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire -- April 28, 2010) - Valcent Products Inc. (OTCBB:VCTZF) announces that Stephen Kenneth Fane has agreed to join the Company's advisory board. Fane joins noted environmental defender, Robert F. Kennedy Jr, on the Company's advisory board. Fane, who was a partner at Coopers & Lybrand; a predecessor firm to PriceWaterhouseCoopers; became a hydroponic greenhouse entrepreneur twenty years ago.

In 1990, Fane acquired a 5-acre hydroponic greenhouse operation that produced bell peppers which he expanded to over 75 acres under glass.

Fane merged his operation with another large-scale producer and took the combined entity public as an Income Trust on the TSX. Fane was President & CEO of Hot House Growers Income Fund from December 2003 to October 2006 where he was responsible for the integration of two existing large-scale operations totaling more than 135 acres under glass and the raising of $70M through the public offering process. In late 2006, the Trust was merged with another large scale producer to form one of the world's largest greenhouse production and marketing companies.

Fane has visited Valcent's award-winning pilot vertical farming program, known as VertiCrop(tm), at the Paignton Zoo Environmental Park in the United Kingdom. "A naturally green ecosystem, VertiCrop(tm) grows large amounts of food in a relatively small area with wastewater

recycled and reused," said Stephen Fane. "I am encouraged by the

potential of this technology to provide a sustainable model of food production."

Mr. Chris Bradford, Valcent's President and CEO stated, "Steve's extensive experience in the commercial greenhouse industry will be invaluable as Valcent enters its commercial sales and marketing of both the Verticrop(tm) and Alpha Crop(tm) Systems." He further noted, "Steve will be much more than a member of the Advisory Board as he will take a 'hands on' relationship with the Company and its Board and intends to consult with the Company on a daily basis."

10 hot energy projects that could electrify the world


 
1

The bloom is on this rose: "Bloom boxes," basically convert gas, biomass, and other fuels into electricity. Through its solid oxide fuel cell technology, Bloom's Energy Server is an advanced distributed power generator, producing clean, reliable, affordable electricity, the company says. Fuel cells are devices that convert fuel into electricity through a clean electro-chemical process rather than traditional dirty combustion. Each Bloom Energy Server provides 100kW of power, enough to meet the needs of 100 average homes office buildings. And the company already claims some pretty big customers from Google and Wal-Mart to eBay and FedEx

 

2

A little spin: The Ocean Renewable Power Company is one of a few companies looking to harvest electricity from the tide or water currents. According to the company, its rolling turbine system works on the same principle as a wind turbine, with rotating foils that power a central permanent magnet generator. Built primarily with composite materials, they resist corrosion in fresh and salt water alike. As gearless units, they require no lubricants, and emit nothing into the surrounding water, the company says.

 

3

Electric water farm: While Ocean Renewable uses a tubular turbine, Verdant Power uses what looks like an underwater propeller to generate clean energy from the currents of tides, rivers and manmade channels.

 

4

The wind grid?: Researchers in part from the University of Delaware's The Center for Carbon-free Power Integration (CCPI) wrote in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, about tying together wind farms from across the globe to create a sort of world-wide wind grid. "World wind power resources are abundant, but their utilization could be limited because wind fluctuates rather than providing steady power. We hypothesize that wind power output could be stabilized if wind generators were located in a meteorologically designed configuration and electrically connected," researchers stated. Problem is, according tot a New York Times article on the research, no offshore wind farms have been built yet. Operators also would need to agree to build the undersea transmission line, which could cost well over a billion dollars.

 

5

Generating energy from waste is a concept that has not caught on in the U.S., but in Europe, the use of advanced incinerators to burn waste and generate energy is growing. One such plant in Denmark called Vestforbrænding incinerates waste in large furnaces, flue-gases then are cooled with water that turns into steam. Steam turns into movement, power and heating in turbines, generators and heat exchangers. Heat is transferred to consumer in the form of hot water through insulated underground pipes; one supply pipe and one return pipe, the company says. Heat from the plant is interconnected with the regional district heating system in Copenhagen.

 

6

Biofuels that zap: The idea here is to develop bacteria to use electricity (which could come from renewable sources like solar or wind) to convert carbon dioxide into gasoline. The bacteria would act like a reverse fuel cell: where fuel cells use a fuel to produce electricity, this bacterium would start with electricity and produce a fuel. The Harvard Medical School-Wyss Institute last month got a $4 million from the U.S. Advanced Research Projects Agency to begin developing bacterium and a device that combines features of an electrochemical cell and a microbial fermenter will be developed.

 

7

Poo as fuel?: The U.S. Advanced Research Projects Agency Engineering gave Ginkgo BioWorks $6 million last month to develop carbon dioxide and water from E. coli into isooctane which can be used in car and truck fuel systems. Others have used the bacteria to produce hydrogen which reportedly can be done cheaply, because the gas emerges naturally right out of the bacteria.

 

8

Hot batteries: Lithium air batteries capable of powering a car for 500 miles on a single charge - a five-fold increase over current plug-in batteries are a hot research topic. Recently the PolyPlus Battery Co. got nearly $5 million from the U.S. to develop lithium-air batteries based on proprietary protected lithium electrodes and Corning glass and ceramics. The U.S. Department of Energy and IBM this year teamed up to let Big Blue and a team of researchers use the Department of Energy's supercomputers to develop new materials required for a lithium air battery. IBM is a big proponent of the oft-controversial lithium-air battery. The controversy surrounds the fact that they tend to be expensive and use an energy-dense, highly flammable metal to react with the readily available oxygen in the air.

 

9

It's Marine buoy: Technologies that utilize wave and tidal energy are another energy producer that has been around but seems to be catching a new breath of late. Aquamarine Power for example, in March landed the rights to start building wave and tidal energy generation projects off the coast of Scotland. The company's Oyster Wave power device is a buoyant, hinged flap that is attached to the seabed. This hinged flap, which is almost entirely underwater, sways backwards and forwards in the waves. The movement of the flap drives two hydraulic pistons which push high pressure water onshore to drive a conventional hydro-electric turbine. Basically the wave power device is a large pump which provides the power source for a conventional onshore hydro-electric power plant, the company says.

The first car to roll of the production line will be Tesla's Model S electric sedan which costs around $57,400. While Tesla will still be late to the game when compared to the LEAF or the Volt, this amps up the company's reputation ten-fold.

 

Tesla is late to the game?

That is false.

Tesla has been leading the move to electric cars.

The electric 2011 Nissan Leaf has been a smash success in the U.S. and Japan. The first year's production was completely spoken for just weeks after it went on sale. That must gall Toyota, which prides itself on technology leadership and sells far more cars than Nissan.

Note the reference about interest rates. The blame, or the power source, that is responsible for bad things is “low interest rates” – please note that message, know it, and don’t allow it to merely pass without notice into your subconscious.

The thinking there is based upon an idea that must involve the State capitalist rule of power whereby the commodity of money, the medium of exchange device, tool, or power to transfer power (money), is one and only one form, a monopoly form, a “legal” form of one; where one power supplies this one legal form of money.

If that monopoly control isn’t enforced by a State capitalist power rule, or regime, then the many suppliers of money, the many suppliers of the medium of exchange tool, the many suppliers of that which can transfer purchasing power, will be competing for market share, the many suppliers will be competing for market share instead of the one supplier having the power alone, and then, once the many suppliers are competing for market share the winner with the most market share will be the one who supplies the best money at the lowest cost.

What is “the lowest cost of money’?

That “cost of money” is also called “the interest rate’?

If the interest rate is “high”, as the message on the video reports, then it is important for understanding the truth, the accurate facts, to answer that last question from two viewpoints – so as not to confuse, so as to separate that which confuses.

1.      What is the cause of high interest rates when money is legally forced into a monopoly power?

2.      What is the cause of high interest rates when money is not legally forced into a monopoly power?

 

For the accurate answer to number 1 on the list there is a requirement to ask the people who supply the money for their reasoning as they set the interest rate they choose, or, without such honesty from such people, the question can be guessed, or logically theorized, as to why those people made those decisions. Or, the facts could be seen for what they are, and the motives left undiscovered. The fact is, that the interest rate is set by the people who have the legal license to set the interest rate because those people also have the legal power to produce the supply of legal money. They set the interest rate by fiat, at their discretion, as they please, for whatever reason they imagine, or discover, or employ, as they alone see fit. Along with the power to produce the monopoly money, the legal money, those people having that power also have the power to set the interest rate.

They can add digits or decimal places at will, such is their power, and that is factual.

 

The answer to the second question on the list involves a power that is a collective power that could be called “market forces”; but such labels do not convey accurate meaning if the perceiver isn’t familiar with the perception in view.

Suffice to illustrate what happens with an example, and see if the reader can see clearly?

I’m going to use the number 10 as a possible number of money suppliers that are allowed to compete in a money market such as that which would be in force in the case of the number 2 question where there is no force that empowers a legal money monopoly.

Here is a possible list of possible money suppliers, familiar names, and the idea here is merely to illustrate that which can (or does) happen in free markets (free, meaning, absent a power that forces a monopoly, or single supplier):

1.      Euro Money Supplier

2.      Yaun Money Supplier

3.      Google Money Supplier

Suppose, now, that you are Joe worker A and you now have this choice to be paid with any of the top 10 money suppliers supply of money from your boss, or, you are Joe merchant and you now want to limit the money you accept as payment for your things for sale, or you are Joe employer and you want to limit the choices you offer to your workers that you pay. You, whoever you are, choose which money you use in either case, any case whatsoever. Which do you pick and why do you pick that money? What force is involved in your choice of money now that you are not being forced into using the legal money supplied by the one legal supplier?

The force will be:

1.      Does the money accomplish the task it is meant to accomplish effectively?

2.      How much does the money cost?

If the money is on the list, then the money accomplishes the task.

If the money cost more, do you still chose it?

If the money cost more, then it is money that carries with it a high interest rate.

If the money carries a high interest rate, then many people are sending their hard earned power to purchase to the money suppliers.

Why do you think interest rates ever get high, and why do you think someone will be “supporting” a money monopoly?

The answer is very clear to me. Why would the answer ever be confusing to anyone – ever?
