Launch of AZoCleanTech.com - The A to Z of Clean Technology
Comtex
SYDNEY, Australia, June 1, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ ----The 6th site in the AZoNetwork portfolio builds on the success of AZoM.com the A to Z of Materials, AZoNano.com - the A to Z of Nanotechnology and AZoOptics.com - the A to Z of Optics.
AZoCleanTech.com (http://www.AZoCleanTech.com) is the latest AZoNetwork online knowledge base that is intended to provide the global clean technology, science, design and engineering community with a continuously updating resource for all the information they need to make an informed decision on selecting a "Clean Technology" solution.
The site contains an extensive knowledge base of articles, news items, books, events, courses and a comprehensive company directory of Clean Technology related companies.
Due to the collaborative publishing approach that has been adopted, AZoCleanTech is totally free to access and is strongly focused on the requirements of both the novice and experienced user of Clean Technology. It also provides a very easy access route to anyone seeking a supplier of a commercial Clean Technology related product or service.
Dr. Andrew Maynard, Chief Science Advisor, Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies, Washington DC commented; AZoNano.com is an indispensable one-stop-shop for all things 'nano'. The extensive news coverage of nanotechnology-related developments is particularly useful, offering balanced insight into research, applications and potential challenges. AZoCleanTech.com is an exciting opportunity to bring the same successful formula of centralized, freely available and easily accessible information to the world of clean technology.
In my work with the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies, I frequently depend on AZoNano.com to get the word out regarding our efforts. Now with the help AZoCleanTech.com, I look forward to seeing how efforts such as our GreenNano initiative (www.nanotechproject.org/topics/green/) - which aims to advance development of clean technologies using nanotechnology - support a growing international community concerned with the innovation, application and implications of clean technologies.
Dr. Ian Birkby, the founder and CEO of AZoNetwork commented, "The launch of AZoCleanTech.com represents another significant milestone in the AZoNetwork roll out programme and we are very excited by the prospects for this site. We are projecting that it will quickly become a well known and trusted destination on the web alongside our related sites, AZoM.com and AZoNano.com, both of which are leaders in their respective fields."

No, it's not a dance craze. Contago is a condition of supply and demand, essentially a fancy word to say that prices for items, typically commodities, are cheaper now than they would be at some point down the line.
Anything that¿s sold in the futures market can be in a case of contango. Futures are exactly that: a contract to buy an item or asset at a price in the future. This is the case with oil, with traders buying and selling contracts to acquire a barrel of oil in months down the line. When a market is in contango, spot prices, or the price of a commodity if you were to buy it right now, are lower than forward prices.
Why is that important? Well, it usually tells you the supply of a given commodity is plentiful (since, according to Economics 101, a large supply usually leads to cheap prices).
Incidentally, if you think contango is a mouthful, its opposite condition is known by the equally tongue-tying term backwardation.
