Energy Saving Technologies Offer Dependable Alternatives to Traditional Power Producers

POINT ROBERTS, Wash., January 4th, 2006 - www.RenewableEnergyStocks.com, an investor
and industry news portal for the renewable energy sector, provides an exclusive
overview on energy efficiency efforts, entitled 'Practical experience reveals that
energy is a firm's third-highest cost'. Businesses are looking for the means to
reduce costs, increase profits and satisfy ever-increasing demands to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions and preserve the environment. Perspectives on how key
businesses have adapted to new realities are offered by SmartCool Systems Inc.,
Distributed Energy Systems, The Dow Chemical Company, FuelCell Energy, Inc., and
International Rectifier.

With America's commercial business sector leading demand, the cost of providing
energy to the nation's business and residential consumers is expected to easily
exceed $200 billion this winter.

George Burnes, President of SmartCool Systems Inc. (OTC.PK: SSCFF; TSXV: SSC), said
recently that the primary driver towards commercial energy efficient technology is a
desire to reduce operating costs. The Dow Chemical Company (NYSE: DOW),
understanding the need for reducing consumer costs, is committed to helping
consumers reduce their energy consumption by producing products that help lower
electric bills while making a positive difference for the environment.

Distributed Energy Systems Corp. (NASDAQ:DESC) delivers power to end users looking
to supplement their grids, allowing for more control over their electricity
supplies. "Technology is helping to achieve differentiated quality of service in a
way that really wasn't commercially viable even five or 10 years ago," described
Walter W. 'Chip' Schroeder, President of DESC. FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: FCEL),
also sees significant value in being able to control power usage and costs through
on-site systems to ensure that efficiencies are realized.

International Rectifier (NYSE: IRF) anticipates energy savings through advancements
in power management technology as the desire for energy-efficient products continues
to increase.

Overview Excerpt: Practical experience reveals that energy is a firm's third-highest
cost
By John Hurst, www.RenewableEnergyStocks.com

George Burnes, President of SmartCool Systems, Inc., explains "Recent geo-political
instability in major fossil fuel producing regions has only served to increase
public demand within North America to reduce dependence on fossil-fuelled
electricity generation. This has resulted in cash and tax incentives being offered
by utilities and local governments in many states and provinces to encourage
industrial, commercial and institutional users to reduce electricity consumption
through the installation of energy savings equipment."

Steven P. Eschbach, spokesman for FuelCell Energy, Inc added that a powerful driver
is the reduction of greenhouse gases. "Again, getting the high efficiency back into
the equation, the more efficient you are, the less harmful greenhouse gases you
emit."
