Good comment. If you’re still out there — which we hope you are — I’d be interested in how you came across this company. It’s not that well-known.

I’m one of the “green money” writers here and saw your comment when I returned from the long holiday weekend. Beacon is an interesting — but still speculative — investment play. I came across it over the summer and planned to write about it when it became a tad less speculative. As you may know, the company is still in the R&D stage and just recently completed a design for its patented flywheel.

About a week and a half ago it announced that it has applied for approval to build a 20-megawatt flywheel-based frequency regulation plant in New York State. So, it is just now moving into the commercial stage — a promising sign.

Given the planned (if approved) move into the commercial stage and the fact that a big time private investor has recently begun accumulating a lot of stock in the company, I think now is a good time for me to write about it. So, while it is still very speculative — with no earnings, let alone revenue (except through the Dept of Energy grants and the like) — it is on a bit better footing now.

So….if you’re still around and reading our site, stay tuned for a post by me within the next week on this company!
