Introductory Comment - Use of Terminology

Item 2.03
Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
Item 3.02
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

Effective August 5, 2010, we obtained a loan in the amount of $607,461 from Rootchange Limited (“Rootchange”).  Rootchange is a corporation organized under the laws of Great Britain.  Rootchange is owned by two of our directors and officers, Mark L.M. Quinn, the executive chairman of our board of directors, and Jessica Hatfield, our executive vice president.  The loan is evidenced by two promissory notes, each in the principal amount equal to one-half of the loan amount, $303,730.50.  The maturity date of each of the promissory notes is November 1, 2011, with acceleration of such maturity date limited to non-payment and bankruptcy events.  The promissory notes each provide for interest at the below-market rate of 1.00% per annum (20.00% following an acceleration event), payable semi-annually, commencing on February 1, 2011.  The principal amount (but not accrued and unpaid interest) is convertible into our common stock at the rate of one share for each $0.50 of principal converted.  The closing market price of our common stock on the date we received the loan proceeds was $0.50 per share.

We intend to use the proceeds of the loan to fund our business and development plan, including our planned acquisition, development, expansion and construction of biomass power plants and biomass feedstock plantations, as well as to fund the start-up costs operations of these plants until, if ever, the plants generate sufficient cash flow from their operations to fund the plants' ongoing costs and expenses.  We intend to seek additional capital to further fund our business and development plan.

We believe that any issuance to Rootchange of the 607,461 shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the principal amount of the convertible promissory note we delivered to Rootchange upon Rootchange’s funding of its loan to us is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by reason of the exemption from registration available under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act due to the fact that the issuance of such shares was conducted in a transaction not involving any public offering.
