This morning my inbox contained the latest report from Renaissance Capital . It has some hopeful news about IPOs, but not necessarily for Silicon Valley. First, the good news: ”After an uptick in filing activity, there are 67 companies in the active IPO pipeline, up from 29 in March 2009.” As far as Silicon Valley is concerned, that’s about as far as the good news goes. Now, here’s the bad news.

Electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids are two technologies that automakers are trying to develop for mainstream use, but two upstart California companies are leading the alternative vehicle world. Tesla Motors already sells the only electric vehicle legal for highway use, while Fisker Automotive stands to be the first to bring a plug-in hybrid to market. The Fisker Karma is a stylish sedan with a plug-in hybrid drivetrain. Also known as a series hybrid, it differs from the hybrids on the Tues | SEPT 1 Unemployment in these parts is somewhere between 12 and 13 percent, according to the Press-Telegram .

Dear Pablo: I have read time and again that an all-electric vehicle can use as little as one dollar's worth of electricity to travel 100 miles. How can this be? Electric Power Plants are burning oill to create electricity, and oil is expensive. How do Power Plants convert oil to electricity at a rate that is five times more efficient than a 2010 Prius ? Over half of US electricity comes from coal while only 3% comes from oil. It is true that oil is expensive, which is why manMUNICH---- Tesla Motors will open a regional sales and service center in Munich on Sept. 10, and the following week senior executives will formally unveil the produc

Hybrids like Toyota’s Prius and plug-in vehicles such as the Chevrolet Volt run on systems other than purely gas-fired engines . The systems, or powertrains, that drive the so-called greener cars use electricity generated by batteries and electric motors to either supplement or largely take the place of internal-combustion engines.

Other alternative energy vehicles have come along in the meantime with the Chevy Volt,  Tesla Roadster and the Fisker Karma – styled and built by former BMW Z8 designer Henrik Fisker.However, Most of these “Green” vehicles have impractical or somewhat half-baked ideas of vehicles that are unattractive For those of you who don't know, there's a company out there that's attracted the interest of venerable venture capitalists, established corporations, politicians, and even a few bloggers with claims that seem nearly impossible. Now, this isn't Steorn, it's not free energy. What they're talking about is possible without re-writing the laws of physics. But what they say they can do would change things. A lot of things.
