With saving energy and protecting the environment first in the minds of consumers from Boston to Bangkok these days, demand for products capable of facilitating both efforts have reached paramount heights.

As the green movement continues to snowball, human innovation is gracing us all with solutions to a number of our biggest problems. In this edition I’ll give you the 411 on two emerging growth companies with products that are already making the world a better place.

Before I get into fan favorite DCFF, let’s first take a gander at Proton Laboratories (OTC Other: PLBI.PK)

Friday’s gains of 130.77% ($0.03) demonstrate that Proton Laboratories, although well below its all-time high share price of $2.49, is building some momentum in the market. The company is currently seeking financing of $1 Million with an aggregate line of equity of $6 Million in order to facilitate bringing their mister product to market.

In recent weeks, PLBI has announced results from Hill Top Research backing the efficacy of its electrolyzed water and its effects on MRSA (Staph) along with its licensed and proprietary cooling tower process that utilizes the company’s advanced electrolysis technology. As we hope for more news in coming weeks lets take a look at why now may be a most beneficial time to consider taking an ownership position in PLBI.

The company began trading back on January 14, 2004 at a price of $0.85. Within just a little over nine weeks, PLBI saw gains of 188%, hitting $2.45, just four cents below its all- time high. Since then, stock price has fallen dramatically, hitting as low as $0.013 on June 6, 2008 on volume of a measly 6,000.

Friday’s gains are promising however, because although PLBI is trading at just $0.03, the market has taken notice of their technology and its benefits to our environment, a topic that is all over the news and on the top of presidential candidate’s agendas.

PLBI’s efforts now appear to be focused on securing financing for its mister product, which in return will give them the ability to expand operations and enter into additional markets of interest as their technology becomes recognized as a leading, affordable solution to a growing global problem.

If PLBI can’t secure critical funding for its mister product, share price will likely continue to hover in the low penny range and potentially force the company to take on unfavorable equity financing to fund operations.

With this in mind, Proton Laboratories has several key hurdles to overcome before achieving potential greatness, but management is determined to fix them and doing so will be a huge help to their overall success. This being said, my recommendation is to keep a close eye on PLBI over the next few weeks because history tends to repeat itself and any positive news should boost the stock after Friday’s surge.

Should Americans start panicking?

 Each year 85% of all MRSA cases are contracted in health-care environments, amounting to 1.2 million people. MRSA killed nearly 19,000 people in 2005, surpassing the mortality rate for AIDS.In response, our government is starting to enact laws that mandate hospitals and medical clinics to ensure their health care providers wash their hands right before providing care to a patient. However many health care providers either forget to wash their hands or choose not to because of the potential long term effects alcohol based sanitizers can have on skin.

One of the country’s best weapons in the fight against MRSA is to concentrate on simple prevention methods that will greatly decrease our chances of infection Simply washing your hands is a good start, but ensure that you use a sanitation medium that both kills and prevents the spread of bacterium.

In the news today Proton Laboratories (PLBI) released test results from Hill Top Research documenting the efficacy of their electrolyzed water in reducing MRSA levels. Their antimicrobial spray Bio Tech-e is able to kill 99.99% of related germs and bacteria making it a perfect medium for health care providers and a safe and economical alternative to alcohol and chemical based sanitizers. 

    

Proton’s antimicrobial spray Bio Tech-e can be used to clean cuts, scrapes, hands, and medical equipment at the same or better efficacy rates as leading products on the market today.

Even in today’s rough and tumble economic environment in which nickels are being used to cover manholes in record fashion, many experts believe that shelling out dough to facilitate a “greener” and “less fossil fuel-dependent economy” is positive financially for our country because many efforts actually pay for themselves over time.

A group of economists at Yale University agree and have created a very interesting interactive site that takes into account, according to them, 27 related, specific economic models that have been created in recent years. The model basically drives home the point that investing in efforts that help reduce carbon emissions, is positive for the U.S. economy, no matter how bad or good things are over the next few years.

Are Solar Panels LGYH’s Legacy?

With a distinct and proven value proposition to the semiconductor space, Legacy Holdings (OTCPK: LGYH) appears to be very well-positioned to cash in on the upcoming solar boom in its home state.

Representing the massive opportunity that the company is now exposed to, the article linked to below notes Southern California Edison Co.’s $875 million plan to build the nation’s largest solar energy installation. If you didn’t know, a key component of most solar cells is the photovoltaic panel or more commonly referred to as the solar panel. They are composed of semiconductor materials and now drive a great deal of demand for semiconductor wafers worldwide.

Given the proven value proposition that Legacy’s patented, Green Chemistry technology presents to the industry, growing solar panel demand is great news for the company. For the record, the technology is proven to provide immense benefits in four key ways:

1. Improving wafer processing time by 200%;
2. enhancing oxide removal control by 92%;
3. decreasing costs by 22% by reducing the amount of consumable materials used in wafer cleaning; and
4. reducing particles left on the wafer after cleaning by 76%.

Plug In Or Pump?

With consumers “driving” changes in the auto industry more so than just about any other, Electric Moto Corporation (OTCPK:EMOT) appears to be playing in a very hot market as battery-power demand heats up.

According to an article that I came across today, hosts of the upcoming Vancouver International Auto Show have been floored by the increase in consumer demand for and interest in battery-powered vehicles. With gasoline now being increasingly phased out of the equation, EMOT’s Blade XT4 motorbike and other products should be facing a favorable sales environment going forward.

The End of Salmonella, Listeria and E.coli?

Proton Laboratories (OTCBB: PLBI) may just hold the key to a green solution for the world’s water contamination problem. We will bring you introductory profile coverage on PLBI very soon, but for now I’ll tell you this: they are an Alameda California-based bio tech firm that specializes in altering the properties of water via electrolysis with electrolyte separation and developing new practical applications for electrolyzed water.

PLBI has been studying water and its restructured properties after its exposure to the process of electrolytic ion separation. According to PLBI, water that goes through an electrolytic ion separation process gains properties that bring functionality to itself and can be used in a number of applications including: eliminating various strains of bacteria, virus, fungi, spores or communicable disease including: salmonella, listeria and E.coli; and as an optional growth medium for organic agriculture and as an option to fungicides.

Given the recent large-scale salmonella breakout and other water-quality problems in the press, I think that PLBI has a very timely offering and a massive potential target market.

With record oil prices a harsh reality in today’s world and the economic benefits of going green becoming widely accepted, these three portfolio companies are well-positioned to capitalize on growing demand for eco-friendly products possessing a bullet proof ROI case.
