ICBU News:

March 16 – International Coastal Biofuels Announces New Chief Executive Officer; Potential Illegal Stock Issuance Jimmy Cooper, the former CEO of International Coastal Biofuels (OTC: ICBU) has resigned his positions as CEO and Director. John T. Moran, the former CEO of International Coastal Biofuels, has been elected CEO and Sole Director. Mr. Moran has an irrevocable proxy on all of Mr. Cooper`s stock.

The management of International Coastal Biofuels has discovered that possibly more than 70,000,000 shares of ICBU stock was issued without restricted legend pursuant to a 504 exemption. This was done in spite of the fact that the stock was trading at approximately $.45 when the issuance occurred thus making the value of the issuance in excess of $30,000,000.

The 504 exemption becomes invalid if the dollar amount issued exceeds $1,000,000. Based on this information it is the current opinion of management and its counsel that the shares should have not been issued without a restrictive legend and are in fact Unlegended, Unregistered shares that are not eligible to trade on the Pink Sheets Market. The Company and its counsel are conducting an investigation into this issuance and have notified the Securities Exchange Commission, Pink Sheets and its Transfer Agent about its current findings. The Company is exploring all of its options including the likelihood of filing a petition for bankruptcy protection.

http://otcpicknews.com/emailmarketer/link.phpM940&N83&L&F=T Black Dragon is an oil and gas exploration and production company currently focused on the acquisition of mature, producing and existing domestic oil and gas fields.

The purchase will happen in stages allowing for the turning on of the first purchase, then the second, then the third, etc. Dragon hopes to close on the first of these leases this week.

October production is estimated to see a 3,000-4,000 barrel monthly increase in production. Upon completion of the purchase, Dragon hopes to increase production to 10,000 barrels for the month of December, dramatically increasing oil production numbers.

http://otcpicknews.com/emailmarketer/link.phpM940&N83&L84&F=T HyperSolar is developing a breakthrough technology to magnify the power of the Sun to significantly increase the power output of solar cells. Based on innovative microphotonics and low cost manufacturing processes, HyperSolar is developing a thin, flat, optical layer that can inexpensively collect and deliver substantially more sunlight onto solar cells. This new approach allows solar cells to produce multiple times more power. With HyperSolar as the top layer, manufacturers can use significantly fewer solar cells in the production of solar panels, thereby dramatically reducing the cost per watt of electricity. HyperSolar technology can also be used to decouple light collection from light conversion to further reduce the cost per watt of solar panels, building integrated systems and utility scale power plants.

HYSR News:

September 14 – HyperSolar Completes Patent Filing Cutting Edge Optical Design Reduces the Cost of Solar Electricity HyperSolar, Inc. (OTCBB: HYSR), the developer of a breakthrough technology that magnifies the power of the sun to significantly increase the power output of solar cells, announced today the recent submission of their full patent application entitled, Thin and Flat Solar Collector-Concentrator and Method of Fabrication to the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

By marrying the principles of solar concentration and cutting edge photonics techniques, HyperSolar is developing the worlds first thin and flat solar concentrator for direct placement on top of existing solar cells. Based on innovative microphotonics and low cost manufacturing processes, HyperSolars thin and flat optical layer can inexpensively collect and deliver substantially more sunlight onto solar cells. This allows solar cells to produce multiple times more power.

We are excited to have completed and filed our full patent application following up on our provisional application filed in 2009,” says Tim Young, CEO, HyperSolar, Inc. “With our breakthrough design, we not only hope to make solar electricity affordable for the world, but also reduce the amount of toxic electronic waste by using less solar cells per panel.” The patent application entitled, Thin and Flat Solar Collector-Concentrator and Method of Fabrication discloses more details regarding the Companys novel invention. The invention is a photonics-based planar solar concentrator designed to collect sunlight from a large area on top, concentrating that solar energy, and directing it to a smaller area at the bottom where a solar cell can be attached. The concentrator will collect light from a relatively wide angle of incidence, thereby eliminating the necessity for active tracking equipment that other solar concentrating devices require.

The HyperSolar layer is designed to be placed on top of flat panel designs to deliver multiple times the normal sunlight intensity to standard solar cells, thereby decreasing the number of cells required in a typical solar module and achieving a significantly lower cost per watt. The Company believes this is a revolutionary way to make solar panels. By providing solar manufacturers with a breakthrough technology to reduce the cost per watt of solar electricity, HyperSolar will help solar become a primary source of clean, renewable energy to power the future needs of the world.
