In the broader markets, energy equipment & services and utilities were the best performing sectors, with health care and consumer staples underperforming. The Democrat victory in the US midterm elections at the start of the month was seen as positive for environmental markets. Democrats will head all committees and have the power to set an environmental agenda. For example Barbara Boxer, who voted against the Bush administration energy policy, is expected to chair the Environment and Public Works Committee, replacing climate change sceptic James Inhofe. Numerous states including California, Connecticut, New Mexico and Texas have already committed to significant expenditure on flood control and infrastructure upgrades, which will benefit companies with exposure to municipal water infrastructure investment. In the UK, following the Stern Review the Queen's Speech included a statement that the Government will publish a bill on climate change as part of the goal to reduce carbon emissions by 60% by 2050. Elsewhere in Europe, France and Germany suffered the worst power outage in 30 years, which left millions of households without power, reiterating the need for fault current limiters and uninterruptible power supply. In other markets several governments announced ambitious targets for the use of biofuels, aimed at reducing pollution and their dependence on oil. Both India and Japan revealed plans to introduce the mandatory blending of 10 percent ethanol into gasoline, whilst China aims to use 6.7 million tonnes of ethanol and 11 million tonnes of biodiesel by 2010, also to meet a 10 percent target. Stocks that contributed to the increase in the company's NAV during November included Fuel System Solutions (clean engine tier 1 supplier, US) and Power Integrations (power conversion electronics, US), which climbed 45% and 27% respectively on strong results, and Vestas (wind, Denmark), which gained 32% on earnings upgrades. On the downside, Turbo Genset (distributed power generation, Canada) declined 17% following fund raising at a discount to share price. During the month the Company made its fourth pre-IPO venture capital investment in Sterecycle Limited. Headquartered in London, the company intends to set up a number of waste treatment plants in the UK to handle municipal solid waste using an established autoclave technology.
