The document discusses long-term agreements in the solar energy sector, including First Solar's module supply contracts that expand their volume by 525 MW and are valued at approximately $800 million. It also highlights the state of the wind power supply chain, noting sufficiency in most areas but critical shortages in larger turbine components. Additionally, it advocates for the Green Marine Highway Initiative, requesting $500 million in funding to support American-built green ships to reduce road trucking and promote economic development.

2. First Solar has entered into new long-term module supply agreements with Italian solar power plant developer Sorgenia Solar, and extended module supply agreements with existing customers EDF Energies Nouvelles, Ecostream, Juwi and Phoenix Solar AG. The new agreements expand First Solar's contracted module volume by 525 MW, allowing for additional sales of around US$800 million . ITALY: Nov. 1, 2008.

3. Bulgaria: November 13, 2008 MAAS energy systems announced first round funding for a 50 MW solar electric generating station that will sell approximately $250 million in electricity in its first five years in eastern Europe.

4. The Market for Solar $2-3 billion per year for ten years. Projections

5. The Market for Wind: In 2007, one manufacturer, Vestas, had a capitalization of $7.5 billion Projections

6. The Supply Chain

7. WIND Power Supply Chain Supply status during 2008 to 2011 Demand according to BTM-C Forecast (WMU2007): 2009: 32,295 MW 2010: 39,455 MW 2011: 44,835 MW Supply of Key Components: • Blades will generally be able to meet current demand, but larger blades (>3 MW turbines) are still in short supply. • Gearbox capacity will be sufficient during 2008 but the future situation depends on the supply of large bearings. • Electric generators, power converters and transformers will not suffer a lack of capacity. • Large bearings for gearboxes and main shafts and blade pitching bearings are the main bottlenecks in the supply chain. • Casting capacity will be sufficient during 2008. However, constraints will increase towards 2012 if no new additional capacity is commissioned. • Global forging production capacity will be sufficient during 2008-12. Even so, the fact that the geographical distribution of capacity is extremely uneven and only a few companies can supply main shafts larger than 3 MW still makes the supply situation under strain.

8. GREEN MARINE HIGHWAY INITIATIVE TO MY CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVE AND U.S. SENATORS PLEASE SUPPORT THE GREEN MARINE HIGHWAY INITIATIVE. I URGE MY CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVE AND MY U.S. SENATORS TO SUPPORT THE GREEN MARINE HIGHWAY INITIATIVE. I ASK THAT YOU ALLOCATE $500 MILLION TO FUND U.S. LOAN GUARANTEES FOR THE FINANCING OF NEW AMERICAN-BUILT GREEN SHIPS. THE FUNDING WILL ALSO RE-ACTIVATE THE U.S. MARITIME ADMINISTRATION'S TITLE XI LOAN GUARANTEE PROGRAM FOR NEW SHIPS THAT DEMONSTRATE THAT THEY CAN REDUCE CURRENT LEVELS OF TRUCKING ON U.S. ROADS AND HIGHWAYS.

12. I SUPPORT SHIFTING TRUCK CARGOES ON TO NEW, GREEN SHIPS WHEREVER POSSIBLE AS THESE AMERICAN-MADE VESSELS WILL REDUCE CARBON EMISSIONS, FUEL CONSUMPTION AND ROAD MAINTENANCE COSTS TO U.S. TAXPAYERS. THIS INVESTMENT WILL ALSO CREATE NEW U.S. SHIPBUILDING JOBS AND NEW CARGO-HANDLING JOBS AT OUR PORTS AND HARBORS. AS U.S. LAW (THE JONES ACT) GUARANTEES THESE SHIPS BE BUILT BY AMERICAN WORKERS AND OPERATED BY AMERICAN MARINERS, THIS INITIATIVE WILL GENERATE NEW NATIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND ADVANCE ENERGY INDEPENDENCE FOR THE UNITED STATES.
