Stone Axe Power Ranch, LLC

Power Ranch Presentation

 

Stone Axe Power Ranch is planned focusing on renewable electricity production and storage. For example, wind, solar—thermal or photovoltaic, biomass, low-head hydro, etc. Storage of this energy could occur in the salt deposit under the property.  NZ is currently working with APS, SRP, TEP, Solargenix, and Scottish Power on this strategy and have retained the renowned energy firm of Navigant in Boston, MA to advise them on these potentials.

Pincock, Allen and Holt, a division of Hart Crowser, Inc. prepares a monthly newsletter highlighting current mineral and energy trends, statistics and more. The following excerpts were extracted from Pincock's April 2004,  issue #53 of Pincock Perspectives, titled "Energy and the Economy - Market Forces at Work":

"We questioned whether power generation was the most appropriate use of limited domestic natural gas resources given its preferred status as a fuel in other market segments such as residential and commercial heating, its use in numerous industrial applications, its critical importance as a feedstock in production of plastics, explosives, fertilizers, and many other products, and the availability of massive domestic coal resources that could be used for power generation.

Relatively low cost power has been a boon to the U.S. economy. Unfortunately, high natural gas prices are already eroding these benefits."

As the Wall Street Journal noted in a February 17, 2004 article:

"High natural-gas prices in the U.S. are taking an increasing toll on a range of companies, forcing them to change how they operate and even to shift work to parts of the world where energy prices are lower. For manufacturers...high natural-gas prices mean another unavoidable cost that cannot be passed on to customers.

"So while demand soared in recent years, especially from a raft of new gas-fired plants, producers have struggled with supply. Most North American gas fields are years past their prime, and environmental restrictions prevent drilling on many of the most promising areas.

"The root of higher natural-gas prices is a federal policy that promotes use of the relatively cleaner-burning fuel without providing incentives or means for natural-gas companies to increase production."
