Houston-based Grey Wolf (amex: GW - news - people ) is a contract driller, operating primarily along the Gulf Coast and into Oklahoma.
The government recently reduced its estimate of the 2020 contribution from 1-2 gigawatts (GW) to 200-300 MW, and the committee says that should be looked at again, as several industry experts have said the new target can be met easily.
The company expects wafer shipments of 1.8 to 2 GW, down from a previous forecast of 2.7-2.9 GW, and module shipments of 750-800 MW, down from 800-900 MW. For the year, the company now sees gross margin of 15%-20%, down from a previous forecast of 24%-29%.
The private university is consistently ranked as one the most politically active in the country and, every four years, during the presidential inauguration, it hosts the black-tie GW Inaugural Ball.
To put the staggering growth rates that achieving this target would require, one need only consider that China currently has less than 1 GW of installed solar-power capacity.
China is expected to bring 50 gigawatts (GW) of coal-fueled generation in 2011 which will demand an additional 175 million metric tons of coal use, while China is expected to need an additional 250 million tons by 2017, according to Peabody.

To appreciate the danger of bypassing the checks and balances of our constitution, consider a sampling of the types of actions performed under executive order: 110, 000 Japanese forcibly interned during WWII (FDR), steel mills seized (Truman, later challenged and found unconstitutional in the Supreme Court), affirmative action programs instituted (beginning with Kennedy and expanded by later presidents), price controls imposed (Nixon), and faith-based initiatives established (GW Bush).
The debt we have is a direct result of supply-side economics beginning with Reagan and accelerating under GW Bush.
Asked about the government's strategy, Mr Davey said on-shore wind farms with potential generating capacity of a seven gigawatts (GW) were currently seeking planning consent, in addition to eleven gigawatts of plant either already built or approved.
The mid-range projection in the government's Renewable Energy Roadmap foresees up to around 13 gigawatts (GW) of UK onshore wind capacity by 2020.
The Russian-Belarusian nuclear power plant project, estimated to have a capacity of 2.4 gigawatts (GW) and set to be commissioned in 2018, has been a controversial topic given that the project was signed between Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko and Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin in the midst of the Japanese nuclear disaster.
