RE: the sector is being bought out Don't forget about Google. They've been buying up dams wind and solar farms for a while now. And to your point about the bidding process I can't remember the details but I thought that Rothschild had a more complicated process than how it would tradionally go. To your other points: yes I'm a new poster but I checked my records and I've been in since April9 09 and I've been lurking around the board since then. A year and a half ago I had Daylight energy that got bought out by the Chinese government (not nearly as drawn out of a process as this one) so I'm not saying I'm David Rosenburg or Jim Rogers but I've seen a few things.
