The Business Day In Global Warming (RZ, VE, NGG, COP, ADM, HIT, POWR, CMGI, GE, CVX)

This morning Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) cut estimates from 2007 to 2009 for corn-based ethanol producers for much of the same reasoning that we have been cautious on the sector.

Raser Technologies, Inc. (NYSE Arca: RZ) announced today that it has added to its geothermal rights in the Escalante Desert in southwestern Utah through a 10 year lease agreement with a private property owner for undisclosed financial terms.

National Grid (NYSE: NGG) has welcomed plans by the MassachusettsDepartment of Environmental Protection (DEP) to introduce auctions forCO2 allowances across the state that are being developed in support ofthe Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) that was endorsed byGovernor Patrick earlier this year.

Veolia Water, part of Veolia Enrinnment SA (NYSE:VE) Won a contract to Supply 3 Million inhabitants with drinking water in Tianjin, China.  From what we’ve read, they need it.

ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP) and Archer Daniels Midland (NYSE:ADM) have announced a new alliance to develop next generation biofuels.  Expect more and more announcements of this sort from oil comnpanies.  You don’t think any of them are going to say "No we’re not interested because we only are interested in oil."  They might feel that way today, but at the end of the day oil companies are just energy companies.

Google Frightens Japanese Government

The Japanese government is nervous about Google (GOOG). Trade officials in the country worry that, with their hardware advantage lost to companies in Korea, Taiwan, and China, it will also end up with no edge in the fast-growing search software business.

That lead has already gone to GOOG on the PC. So, the Japanese government is pulling together several major consumer electronics companies to work on search software for handsets and other devices.

According to the FT: "Tokyo hopes to use Japan’s strength in developing devices, such as mobile phones and car navigation systems, to create proprietary search and information retrieval functions" "The Japanese project is comprised of 10 partnerships, each tasked with a specific next-generation search function."

Already in the mix are Sony (SNE), Toyota (TM), NEC (NIPNY) NTT Data, and Hitachi (HIT).

Catching Google through committee work by big companies and the Japanese government.

Unlikely.
