Nazi Secret to Launch $3 Stock into the Stratosphere A strange type of fuel powered HALF of the Nazi's war machine during World War II. They used it in their tanks and airplanes when their oil supplies were cut off. Strangely enough, the U.S. Air Force is now using it in its fleet of B-52 bombers. It's NOT oil, ethanol, algae, or natural gas. It's cheaper than traditional jet fuel and cleaner, too. Now, it's about to power over 10 million U.S. automobiles per year. And it could send this $3 stock soaring as it transforms America's fuel industry. Click here now for the full story. Obama's "Green" Agenda Can Make You Rich By Jeff Siegel | Wednesday, February 4th, 2015 President Obama gave renewable energy investors a very nice gift this week... As a part of his new budget proposal, the president is seeking a 7.2% increase in funding for “clean energy.” As well, he is asking for a permanent extension for the solar investment tax credit (ITC) and the wind energy production tax credit (PTC). The solar ITC is set to expire at the end of 2016, and the wind energy PTC has already expired. I can pretty much guarantee that a permanent extension of these tax credits is not going to happen. However, because so many red states generate an enormous amount of tax revenue and jobs from solar and wind, it is likely that both sectors will be thrown some sort of bone — particularly solar, as the industry now supports nearly 174,000 jobs That data does not fall on deaf ears, despite the dog-and-pony show some lawmakers will put on during election season. No, solar is the real deal. The market is booming, and cost reductions continue to make it more and more affordable for homeowners and businesses.

A small group of investors is getting ready to pocket 3,300% gains from this brewing crisis... But they’re not invested in a single car manufacturer. Click here now for the complete details. Which is why I hope you've been taking some of my advice over the past couple of months and taken a position in some of the more impressive solar names, like SunEdison (NYSE: SUNE), SunPower (NASDAQ: SPWR), and Canadian Solar (NASDAQ: CSIQ).  Canadian Solar absolutely crushed it yesterday after announcing its acquisition of Sharp Corporation's Recurrent Energy. Check it out... Recurrent has a massive utility-scale project pipeline that's scheduled to be built before the planned date of the solar ITC expiration. This is a huge win for Canadian Solar, representing an estimated $2.3 billion in revenue. Going forward, I remain bullish on these major solar stocks, as well as the alternative energy yieldcos. Year of the Yieldco Back in November, I wrote in my yearly alternative energy predictions report that 2015 will be the year of the yieldco. Yieldcos essentially allow retail investors to buy into multiple alternative energy assets that produce steady cash flow. For those who are not particularly keen on risk but still want exposure to the burgeoning alternative energy space, this is a great way to do it. Some of the bigger names include: Hannon Armstrong Sustainable Infrastructure (NYSE: HASI) NRG Yield (NYSE: NYLD) TerraForm Power (NASDAQ: TERP) NextEra Energy Partners (NYSE: NEP) Pattern Energy Group (NASDAQ: PEGI) And next week, we'll be adding a new one to this list: Sol-Wind (NYSE: SLWD).

You'd want to know their names, right? Well, now you can... I'll give you all their exciting details when you click here. MLP for You and Me As we wrote to our Green Chip readers earlier in the year, Sol-Wind will be the eighth yieldco to debut since 2013. However, this one is a bit different in that it seeks to utilize a master limited partnership (MLP) structure, so it'll actually be taxed differently from other yieldcos. Now, because federal law does not currently permit MLPs for renewable energy companies (although oil and gas companies are permitted), Sol-Wind must utilize an exemption that allows certain publicly traded master limited partnerships to be taxed as partnerships instead of corporations. It's a tricky arrangement that's often used by private equity and hedge funds to avoid taxation. A blocker corporation is set up to absorb the 35% corporate tax that would otherwise be applied to the partnership's assets. However, the corporation makes nothing, and any income made by the MLP is taxed only at shareholder level. Back in 2012 and 2013, several bills known as the MLP Parity Act (MLPPA) were submitted to Congress, seeking to amend the tax code for publicly traded partnerships to treat all income from renewable and alternative fuels as “qualifying income.” The Senate bills and House resolutions known as the MLP Parity Act died in committee. However, if an MLP Parity Act is enacted, the company could then be able to use a normal MLP structure, thereby allowing it to dodge extra corporate-level tax. Long story short, Sol-Wind found a way to utilize an MLP structure despite the fact that renewable energy is still technically not invited to the MLP party. $400 Million Sol-Wind management describes the company as a growth-oriented limited partnership formed to own, acquire, invest in, and manage operating solar and wind power generation assets that generate power for retail, municipal, utility, and commercial customers under long-term power purchase agreements. Following the completion of the IPO, Sol-Wind will acquire from its general partner equity and debt interests in an initial portfolio that represents 184.6 MW of nameplate capacity solar and wind power generation assets in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada. Currently, the company is planning to issue 8.7 million shares at between $19 and $21 a share. At the high end, this would give it a fully diluted market value of $401 million. Although it's still yet to be seen how Sol-Wind will compare to other alternative energy yieldcos, it'll be interesting for investors to see how the MLP model performs in this particular case. Definitely keep a close eye on this one. To a new way of life and a new generation of wealth...
