Cleantech Transit, Inc. (CLNO)
Cleantech Transit, Inc. is in the business of producing and conserving power. Cleantech Transit produces and sells clean electricity globally, with a focus on sustainable energies using renewable resources such as Geothermal, Solar and Wind. Cleantech Transit’s goal is to use innovative technologies to reduce electricity consumption and dependence on carbon based energy. Cleantech Transit, Inc. was founded in 2006 and is based in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Biomass is a renewable energy because it contains the energy which comes from the sun. Biomass is basically an organic material made from plants and animals. Through the process of photosynthesis, chlorophyll present in plants absorbs the energy from the sun by converting the carbon-dioxide present in air and water from the ground in carbohydrates. The chemical energy that is present in plants is passed onto the animals and people that eat them. So, when these plants and animals are burned they turn back into carbon dioxide and water and release the sun’s energy they contain. In this way, we can say that biomass is renewable source of energy because we can always produce more crops and plants and waste will always exist. As long as biomass is produced this source of renewable energy will last for ever. Examples of biomass include: plants, crops, trees and garbage.

Cleantech Transit, Inc. (CLNO) is pleased to announce it has met its funding requirement to secure the Company’s ability to earn in 25% of the 500KW Merced Project.

The Company is in the final stages of closing its initial interest in the Merced Project and is currently working on completing the necessary documentation and expects closing the transaction soon. As previously announced Cleantech has the option to earn up to 40% of the Merced Project and the Company plans to continue to work towards increasing its interest in the Merced Project as they move ahead.

Air Products (NYSE:APD) issued the following statement in response to Airgas, Inc.’s latest value-destructive tactics in its continuing attempts to avoid an Airgas shareholder referendum on Air Products’ offer.

“The Airgas Board is resorting to desperate last-minute gambits that should not distract the Airgas shareholders from the real choice they face at the September 15 Airgas Annual Meeting. Air Products is offering Airgas shareholders a premium of more than 50% for their shares today, and can close a deal quickly if the Airgas Board will agree to sit down and negotiate. There is no need for further delays possibly followed by a convoluted process that destroys value for the Airgas shareholders.

“Airgas shareholders should see these latest actions by the Airgas Board as part of a continuing pattern of behavior designed to avoid a sale of Airgas at any price. The statement that $65.50 is not a ’sensible starting point for negotiations’ makes clear that Airgas continues to have unreasonable and unsupportable value expectations. Airgas’ vague new promise to ‘explore alternatives to enhance stockholder value’ sometime before June 2011 — but only if Airgas shareholders do not support Air Products’ January by-law proposal — should not fool anybody. After stonewalling for nearly a year, the Airgas Board now promises to discharge its fiduciary duties only if Airgas shareholders vote their way. This latest non-binding ‘commitment’ from the incumbent Airgas Board is further evidence that Airgas needs truly independent directors who are committed to maximizing value for Airgas shareholders.

“Today’s comments by Airgas also ring hollow regarding leveraging the company to accommodate the expected severe sell-off in Airgas stock should we withdraw our offer. Only yesterday, Airgas filed a presentation to investors touting the value Airgas could supposedly create on its own by de-leveraging. The Airgas Board cannot have it both ways.

“Air Products has provided Airgas shareholders with a clear path to completing a transaction at a substantial premium with no regulatory or financing obstacles. The only remaining obstacle is the lack of engagement by the Airgas Board. Air Products asks that Airgas shareholders send a clear and unambiguous message to the Airgas Board that they want a sale to move forward now by voting for both the Air Products nominees and by-law proposals.

“Airgas shareholders should understand that if they do not elect the Air Products nominees and approve our proposals, we will conclude that shareholders are satisfied with a minimal share repurchase at an unknown price and unknown time instead of a sale of Airgas to Air Products or a third party. In that case, we will terminate our offer and move on. We are confident Airgas shareholders will make the right choice to protect the value of their investment.”
