EGPI Firecreek, Inc. announced that an anticipated closing date of January 31, 2011 has been set for the completion of the acquisition between EGPI Firecreek, Inc. and Arctic Solar Engineering.

In other related news, Arctic Solar Engineering announced that within a few weeks it will complete the installation of the largest Solar Thermal alternative energy system in the Midwest.

Additionally, it has a name plate capacity of 82 kilowatts with an estimated annual production of 110 megawatt hours. Savings to the City are estimated to payback 100 percent of the City's investment within 5 years, after which, energy produced by the system will have zero cost to the City.

Fred Sussman, CEO of Arctic Solar Engineering, stated, "This is a very exciting time for the city of Chesterfield and for Arctic Solar. We are a Chesterfield based company providing an alternative energy solution for our own hometown city, which has a measurable return on investment. This will ultimately be done with zero federal, state or local subsidy dollars."

Arctic Solar Engineering, LLC integrates Solar Thermal Energy technology patented over 30 years ago by Daimler Aerospace in Germany.

EGPI Firecreek, Inc.'s business and acquisition strategy is focused on both the vertical integration of enterprises serving the D.O.T. Construction and Intelligent Traffic System markets through South Atlantic Traffic, Inc. (SATCO) alongside its subsidiary M3 Lighting, Inc. (M3), and on oil and gas production with an emphasis on acquiring existing fields with reserves, the rehabilitation of potentially high throughput oilfields, resource properties and inventories, through its subsidiary Energy Producers, Inc.

Corporation Election Spending- Petition Sign-Up

We're asking every state legislator in the country to back adopting resolutions supporting the only remedy we have left to correct the Supreme Court's awful Citizens United decision: a constitutional amendment clarifying that corporations are not people.

It will take a long term campaign but a constitutional amendment is the only way to permanently undo the ruling.

Citizens United has already has a huge impact on our democracy. In 2010 spending on elections topped $4 billion, by far the most ever spent on a midterm election and even matching the total spent in the 2008 presidential election.

We've amended our Constitution before in moments when we needed to make fundamental changes to how our country works. Right now is one of those moments because giving corporations the full First Amendment rights of people is threatening the integrity of our democratic process.

A compiled petition with your individual comment will be presented to your state legislators.

Sign the Petition

Full petition text:
"Corporations aren't people and shouldn't be able to corrupt our democracy. We need as many state legislatures as possible to get behind the call for a constitutional amendment to reverse the Citizens United ruling."

The " Support a Constitutional Amendment: Corporations Are Not People " campaign is brought to you by MoveOn.org Political Action™.


Corporations aren't people. We all know that. But in last year's Citizens
United decision, the Supreme Court gave corporations the same First
Amendment rights as you and me. The result was record breaking spending by
giant corporations to try to buy our elections.

We must take our democracy back. The most direct remedy we have left to
correct the Supreme Court's awful decision is a constitutional amendment
clarifying that corporations are not people.

I signed a petition urging my state leaders to support a constitutional
amendment to reverse the Supreme Court decision. Can you join me at the

Q-Fall of Rome due to Climate Change?

A: Tree Rings Report Odd Weather Patterns...
... study of tree rings ... provides evidence of climate shifts ... occurred from A.D. 250 to 550, a period better known as the fall of the Roman Empire.

Read Report Here

News: January 22, 2011


Rome may have fallen hundreds of years ago, but much of the civilization the Romans built still dots the landscape today. One team of scientists recently unearthed a different kind of Roman artifact that may hold a strange clue to the empire's downfall.

A study of tree rings recently published in the journal Science provides evidence of climate shifts that, perhaps not coincidentally, occurred from A.D. 250 to 550, a period better known as the fall of the Roman Empire.

Ulf Buentgen and his team of researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research collected tree-ring data from ancient wood found in medieval castles and Roman ruins. They created a detailed history of climate change over the past 2.5 millennia and found the data point to the end of the Roman Empire as a period of exceptional climate change.

Michael Mann, professor of meteorology at Penn State, was not a member of the research team, but explains how the information found in tree rings changes what we know of the last centuries of Roman imperialism.

"They were able to tease out two pieces of information from these trees," Mann explains. "They can get some idea of how warm the summers were, and how wet the sort of late-spring/early summer was."
