NextEra Energy (NYSE: NEE ) announced in April that its own nuclear uprate exceeded expectations, adding another 500 MW of capacity instead of the original 400 MW project. As the largest wind producer in the nation, NextEra is also nabbing efficiencies on some of its newer projects. According to NextEra's Florida Power & Light president, Eric Silagy, "[this] investment added the equivalent of a new, medium-sized power plant to Florida's generation fleet, without having to build one."

Ben Isaacson, CFA, covers large-cap global equities within the fertilizer sector - as well as emerging fertilizer companies listed in North America - for Scotia Capital.

TWST: Where do you focus your attention in the fertilizer space these days?

Mr. Isaacson: Right now, we're focused more on the outlook of potash, which we believe will be the only one of the three nutrients - the others being phosphate and nitrogen - that will see continued positive price development through the next several years, until new supply comes on in the back half of the decade. In the phosphate market, we're already seeing early signs of margin contraction, as DAP prices have not been able to keep up with the rising cost of feedstocks, such as ammonia, sulfur and phosphate rock. As significant new capacity starts to come online over the next 18 months, we could see an oversupply situation by the end of 2012. In nitrogen, the margins look spectacular for North American producers like CF Industries (CF) and Agrium (AGU), but we're deeply concerned about Western European nitrogen margin contraction.

IMO- Unless it finds a way to prepay this Debenture- it could LOSE ALL the rights to it's Intellectual Property If something goes wrong...-

"The Debentures issued to the CAMOFI Parties pursuant to the Settlement Agreement have an effective date of December 31, 2012, accrue interest at the rate of 8% per annum and mature on June 30, 2015. The Company may pre-pay all or a portion of the amounts due under the Debentures prior to maturity without penalty. Both of the Debentures are convertible at the option of the holder at a price per share of common stock equal to 80% of VWAP of the ten consecutive trading days prior to the conversion date.

The Company must make quarterly payments
under the Debentures on the last day of each calendar quarter commencing on March 31, 2013 in the amount of $600,000. The quarterly payments may, at the option of the Company and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, be paid in shares of Common Stock. In such case, the conversion price for such payment will be based on the lesser of (i) the conversion price as defined in the agreement or (ii) 80% of the
average of the 10 closing prices immediately prior to the date the quarterly payment is due. The payment due on March 31, 2013, was paid in cash on April 1, 2013.

To secure its obligations under the Debentures, the Company granted a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets, including its intellectual property, to the CAMOFI Parties. The Debentures contain certain covenants customary for debt instruments of its kind. At March 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the Debentures.
The Company determined that the Debentures contained an embedded beneficial conversion feature as the Debentures are convertible at a price per share of common stock equal to 80% of VWAP of the ten consecutive trading days prior to the conversion date. The embedded beneficial conversion feature was modeled using a binomial lattice model, and the calculate-

Beneficial biomass: food waste, forest residues and perennial grasses in Minnesota
In Minnesota, food industry and other byproducts are feeding a new combined heat and power (CHP) plant that generates renewable electricity and efficiently uses waste heat from the boiler. Rahr Malting Company and the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux partnered to form Koda Energy, which in 2009 began generating up to 22 megawatts of renewable electricity with oat hulls, wood chips, prairie grasses, and barley malt dust from Rahr Malting.

The Koda plant burns about 170,000 tons of these agricultural waste products a year, and is able to operate at over 70 percent efficiency because Rahr Malting also uses the waste heat from the boiler in their operations, displacing the need for additional natural gas. About half of the plant’s renewable electricity is used to powering Rahr Malting, with the remainder purchased by Xcel Energy to supply to their customers. In the future, the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community hopes to use switchgrass grown on restored prairies to provide some of the biomass for Koda Energy.[7]

Walgreen Remains the Leader

Walgreen runs the largest network of retail drugstores in the U.S. The outfit offers an array of consumer goods and services, pharmacy, and health and wellness services. Walgreen has a market cap of $45.5 billion and a P/E ratio of 21.4 - above the S&P 500 P/E ratio of 17.7. Shares are up by more than 29% so far in 2013.

The drug chain is strong in a number of areas including climbing net income, steady cash flows, and a sound financial position overall. Moreover, Walgreen has a history of solid share price performance and continued growth in earnings per share.

The company recently reported results for the first quarter and sales are up about 3.8% to just under $6 billion. Walgreens’ total pharmacy sales accounted for much this rise - more than 64% of total sales. But total front-end sales declined 2.9% compared with the first quarter of 2012.

In short, Walgreen’s prescription drug sales have climbed for two straight months and are likely to continue. The share price is now hovering at $49+, far higher than the 52 week low of $28.50. At this price, it could be time to take some money off the table; but growing Rx sales numbers going forward make Walgreen a good long-term buy.

FPL's fuel-efficient Cape Canaveral Next Generation Clean Energy Center comes online ahead of schedule, serving customers with clean, domestic natural gas power
Published: Wednesday, 24 Apr 2013 | 1:30 PM ET

BREVARD COUNTY, Fla., April 24, 2013 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Florida Power & Light Company today announced that its state-of-the-art Cape Canaveral Next Generation Clean Energy Center has begun generating electricity from clean, U.S.-produced natural gas. Over its operational lifetime, the new, fuel-efficient plant is expected to provide FPL customers hundreds of millions of dollars in fuel and other savings over and above the cost of construction
FPL invested approximately $900 million to build the facility, which was constructed on the site of a 1960s-era plant that the company took down in 2010. Construction was completed more than a month ahead of schedule and approximately $140 million under budget.

The plant is capable of producing more than 1,200 megawatts of electricity or enough to power approximately 250,000 homes and businesses – roughly double the amount generated by the previous plant – without using any additional water or land.

"It's fitting that this historic Cape Canaveral site, which emerged to power American innovation and leadership in the space race more than half a century ago, will now be using some of the most advanced generation technology available and U.S.-produced natural gas to help power the Space Coast's bright future," said FPL President Eric Silagy. "This plant uses 33 percent less fuel to generate electricity, which will help us keep our typical residential customer bills the lowest in Florida and significantly lower than the national average. It's an important achievement for our company and our state. Investments in affordable, reliable, clean electricity will help our state's economy c
