Raser Technologies Gives the NYSE List a Hybrid Heartbeat

Raser Technologies Joins the NYSE – In a heartwarming tale of business-types giving the nod to greening, Wall Street let Raser Technologies ring the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange today. Why do we care? Because Raser is an energy technology group that helped develop an electric Hummer, essentially rendering the consumer car market’s most notorious gas guzzler relatively benign. Can you believe this thing can hit 100 miles per gallon with near-zero emissions and travels its first 40 miles of the day on electricity alone? The company has also developed a geothermal power plant, which helps juice up the City of Anaheim, Calif., with renewable energy. Green is all the rage in business these days, even if its just for the sake of good PR, but lets hope the support for Raser translates into more forward-thinking from US automakers and other companies.
