WWAT yes, noticed that it's the only BB presenting at the Alternative Energy Conference.
I didn't buy it yet, got too carried away with others. But it's on the watch list.
LOL and I am surprised, given the symbol WWAT that no one was doing the old WWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT in LIVE today.

Agenda
Registration and Fees
The search for alternative energy sources has never been more important. Electronic gadgets, telecommunications devices, and Internet accessories now account for half of the growth in demand for electricity. Underinvestment in utility plants and energy exploration together with deregulation of the country's electricity have led to surging power costs and rolling blackouts. In fact:
In 2000, the price of electricity in California soared to as much as five times its 1999 level.
US Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham has warned that rolling blackouts in California are inevitable this summer. Others have expressed serious concern that similar blackouts will roll eastward.
The nation's energy problem will not self-correct quickly. OPEC's recently announced oil output reductions will prevent oil prices from falling noticeably. Also, prices of natural gas-the fuel of choice for almost all new power plants under construction as well as for emerging power technologies such as fuel cells-have soared over the last few years. Although the Bush Administration is a strong advocate of energy exploration and new utility plants, these initiatives will take a considerable amount of time to develop.
This conference will provide attendees with an opportunity to listen to senior executives from leading alternative energy companies discuss how they plan to commercialize alternative energy sources such as:
Distributed Power - The production of highly reliable power, which is demanded by hi-tech manufacturers and is produced on-site, rather than sent through the electrical grid.
Fuel Cells - A technological application that holds the potential to power everything from automobiles to utility plants.
Photovoltaics - A semiconductor-based technology that converts light energy directly into an electric current.
Wind Power
This conference is particularly timely because of the high demand for electricity in the summer and other unique challenges confronting the supply of electricity.
