SHAW CAPITAL MANAGEMENT - On January 19th 2010, the first ethanol-fired power plant whirred into action in Brazil. National oil company Petrobras (NYSE: PBR) and American systems giant General Electric (NYSE: GE) pitched in resources to turn an existing 87 MW plant into a flex-fuel power station that can alternate between natural gas and ethanol (which are both considered alternative fuels, even though only one is renewable).

3. GE wants to see how its turbines can be adapted to
work in flex-fuel plants in Brazil and in developed
countries like Japan, where clean-burning power plants
are gaining momentum.
Brazil's water-dependent hydroelectric infrastructure
teeters during the dry season in places where natural
gas isn't easily accessible. It just so happen that wind
power peaks at the opposite time of the year as the
water in running rivers that drives dam-based
generation.
Ethanol and wind could supplant natural gas as the
primary alternative source of electricity generation
during the dry season in Brazil and President Luiz
Inacio Lula da Silva said in the Brazilian press that
Brazil could be selfsufficient in natural gas after several
pre-salt (read: incredibly deep) offshore fossil fuel
pockets are tapped.

4. That capacity is at least five years away. Ethanol is there now, and after wind power auctions
started last December, 773 wind turbines will be turning across Brazil by 2012.
Shaw Capital Management Korea News: Shell, Petrobras, GE, and Cosan will surely push hard
to get the government in Brasilia to initiate a nationwide "ethanol electricity" campaign to
ensure that oil and automotive fuel aren't the key determinants of sugar ethanol's success.
As in so many other areas of the world, those communities that are now underserved by
fossil fuels can benefit most from such clean energy advances.

5. The US Administration completed its revised Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS2). RFS2 will
move towards a national goal of 26 billion gallons of biofuel production by 2022.

6. Every investor will achieve better long-term risk-adjusted results by working
with a true open architecture advisor.
Our philosophy is simple: almost every investor will achieve better long-term
risk-adjusted results by working with a true open architecture advisor.
Before Shaw Capital Management Korea launched the open architecture
revolution, investors had to make the unhappy choice between selecting an
advisor who was independent, but unsophisticated (the traditional pension and
endowment consulting firms), or selecting an advisor who was sophisticated
but had conflicting interests (global banks, trust companies, money
management firms).
