PowerVerde Plans To Deploy Non-Fossil Fuel Technology
Phoenix AZ (SPX) Jul 10, 2008 PowerVerde has entered into discussions with a large domestic utility to test its patented Gas Pressure Motor ("Motor"). The concept involves positioning its non-fossil fuel motors on existing gas transmission pipelines, and utilizing the already present pressure and volume of natural gas, inherent in these designs, to power the motor. Fred Barker, co-inventor of this unique electrical generation system, commented, "Utilizing a drop in pressure of the natural gas at specified sites known as 'city gates,' our Gas Pressure Motor produces electricity and returns the natural gas to the lower pressure line without using or depleting any of the gas." George Konrad, co-inventor of the Motor and president of PowerVerde, states, "the configuration of natural gas pipeline networks both domestic and worldwide creates an opportunity to produce megawatts of clean, green electricity, without large tracts of land or traditional generating infrastructure, resulting in significant cost savings when compared to other renewable technologies."

Analysis: Mongolian energy prices Washington (UPI) Jul 9, 2008 Since the 1990-1991 unraveling of communism in Eastern Europe and Eurasia, countries liberated from socialist state planning have sought to convert their centrally planned economies into market ones, with varying degrees of success. To assist in the process they often have sought Western advice, but such assistance often has come at a high social price, as free market "shock therapy" frequently impacts the poorest elements of society, which in turn can lead to social unrest. |
