    But there is one company with a real, proven solution to high-energy costs. Buy it at cheap nighttime prices and sell it back during the day.

    Imagine if you could buy electricity from the grid at three in the morning, store it and then resell it at noon? You’d have a 20% markup every day!

    I’ve discovered a company that can do this. In fact this tiny electricity maverick plans to announce the location of its first no-fuel “power plant” within the next two weeks.

    Just two days ago they announced that their system had once again passed a stringent test phase and passed with flying colors. The stock climbed 21% on the news -- in a day!

    The plant doesn’t burn oil, coal or natural gas -- or use uranium or solar panels.

    Instead, it runs from electricity that it pulls off the grid when demand is low, then resells the stored power at a premium during peak hours when utilities need it most.

    In short, it could produce the highest profit margins in the history of the utility industry.

    The company already has the backing of the Department of Energy, the State of New York, the California Energy Commission and other heavy hitters.

    Even though it’s been a well-kept secret for years, a new piece of market intelligence reveals that something big is imminent: Company insiders snapped up 1.8 million shares of the stock since July 6, 2007, shelling out more than $3.5 million of their own money.

    In fact, I believe the company could crush these five superstars that saw huge run-ups after energy deregulation in 1992:

    Exelon, up 1,049%

    TXU, up 1,766%

    Ameren, up 64.1%

    American Electric Power, up 259.9%

    Avista, up 1,679%

    I would hate for anybody to have missed those kinds of gains.

    After all, if you had invested $5,000 in Exelon in 1992, you’d have $52,450 today.

    Well, I’m writing you today about an even better opportunity.

    Get in now on this $1.50 energy company and, in two years, your $5,000 could grow into $61,650. Read our free report now.

    They take a lot of liberties in these pumps. The company is interesting and they had some good news last week.

    Energy storage: I guess he is pointing to the Smart Energy 25 systems, where they talk about peak shaving, back-up power ,etc.

    Smart Energy 25 kWh

    The Smart Energy 25 is Beacon’s design for an advanced energy storage solution that could provide unique power quality benefits for demanding utility applications. The system would be a larger-scale version of Beacon’s field-proven and environmentally friendly Patented Co-mingled Rim Technology® (PCRT). Its long-life, low-maintenance design and highly cyclic capability could outlast and outperform battery systems in the harshest environments.
    And thanks to innovative modular design, a series of Smart Energy units could be configured in a Smart Energy Matrix™ to provide megawatts of reliable and responsive stored energy for minutes or even hours.

    Typical single-unit applications:

    Remote back-up power
    Battery-free central office power
    Peak shaving
    Bridge to generator start
    Load following
    Every Smart Energy flywheel from Beacon is designed to offer many technical and performance advantages, including:

    20-year Design Life
    Designed for 20 years of virtually maintenance-free operation.
    Real-time Monitoring
    Many parameters of flywheel and system performance can be monitored remotely.
    Sustainable Technology
    Flywheels eliminate the hazards of batteries, are emissions-free, and do not require fuel, simplifying permitting and avoiding potential ground contamination and safety issues.
    Temperature Tolerance
    Unlike batteries that degrade in performance at temperature extremes, flywheels exhibit no change in output or life span based on climate. In fact, a flywheel is often the only viable solution for harsh remote applications

    Active Power (ACPW) also has flywheel technology, and their stock price is closer to 1.50.

    I concurr with nanopole that the company is BCON. It is not ACPW. In the post by mole the following clue was mentioned- "Company insiders snapped up 1.8 million shares of the stock since July 6, 2007, shelling out more than $3.5 million of their own money" Go to this link- http://www.secform4.com/insider-trading/1103345.htm and you will see that it matches dead on.

    BCON is a perfect match. They even match the $10 million figure the pump mentioned that they just raised:

    WILMINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Beacon Power Corporation (NASDAQ: BCON - News) today announced that it has received a commitment for $10 million of new investment in the Company. The capital will be used to fund ongoing operations, including improvements to Beacon's new manufacturing facility in Tyngsboro, Massachusetts, as well as procurement of materials related to the deployment of the Company's first megawatt of commercial flywheel frequency regulation service. The transaction is expected to close on September 10, 2007.
