barrons3	Also, while it may seem too obvious, nothing boosts energy efficiency like plain-old insulation. Owens Corning (OC) is the number-one seller in the US, and Cramer said the company could get “a huge boost” if Cash for Caulkers goes through.	Love	November 19, 2009

barrons3	Cramer said glass and composite makers also benefit. Owens Corning (OC) gets a 24-cent-a-share boost to its earnings from a $1 drop in natural gas, while Owens Illinois (OI), no relation, get a 10-cent boost.	Love	September 17, 2009

Stockpickr Staff	Cramer examined two local green companies, Owens Corning (OC), which makes insulation and materials for windmill blades, and Owens-Illinois (OI), a large glass recycler. ... Cramer noted that neither of these companies has the two things Wall Street needs to send their stocks higher: growth or a dividend. Both companies are doing poorly, and won't be able to show any growth for the foreseeable future, said Cramer.

barrons3	I have said that Trinity (TRN) is a way to play towers, and Owens Corning (OC) for insulation and composites to make wind blades. But those can't put many people to work, either. In short, the green plan doesn't work like a brown plan and a nuke plan, and Obama didn't seize the moment as I believe China will.	Love	January 08, 2009

barrons2	Owens Corning (OC), down 20%. Cramer said the poor performance of the Wind-ex stocks has nothing to do with the wind power business, but rather with the industrial components of all of the companies. He reminded viewers that as wind power accounts for larger portions of their earnings, the other divisions will account for less. He views the current weakness in the stocks as a valid pullback and a buying opportunity.	Love	July 17, 2008
KTrib123	This company is not a housing play, but a play on home owners looking to make their houses more enery efficient. This is also a great wind play and the bears have this one wrong.	Love	July 11, 2008
barrons2	In other sectors, Cramer said he likes Owens Corning (OC) and would even consider Toll Brothers (TOL) as a trade. And finally, in retail he'd consider picking up some Costco (COST), Wal-Mart (WMT), a stock which he owns for his charitable trust Action Alerts PLUS, Jones Apparel (JNY) and VF Corp (VFC).

barrons2	Next, Cramer featured the windmill blades, and said that Owens Corning (OC) has the best composite materials business for this high-stress application.	Love	May 29, 2008

barrons2	Suddenly side businesses in wind for Thomas & Betts (TNB) and Owens Corning (OC) and Trinity (TRN) are making more money than their real businesses, which then allows more money to be brought in to further reduce the costs of turbines, which then takes them from being peak-load alternatives to base-load alternatives. Things that didn't make sense now make sense. And stocks you wouldn't touch are now reasonable investments.	Love	May 22, 2008
barrons2	That's fabulous for the following game ideas: Trinity (TRN), for the actual turbines; Woodward Governor (WGOV) -- profiled last night on "Mad Money" -- for the transmission and turbine innards; Owens Corning (OC) for the fiberglass wind blades; and Quanta (PWR) for installation.	Love	May 16, 2008
barrons2	And take a look at Owens Corning (OC) and Trinity (TRN) for parts, and Quanta Services (PWR) for installation.	Love	May 15, 2008
barrons2	Or how about the big plan announce this morning by Scottish & Southern Energy to build a gigantic sea wind park, with a capacity of 500 megawatts. That's baseline power, not peak, and it will be done by 2011. More business for Fluor (FLR), which is a pro at this, and for the composite makers of wind blades. Think Owens Corning (OC).	Love	May 15, 2008
barrons2	And now a third one has surfaced today: Owens Corning (OC). It isn't just an insulation play. Amazing. It is also a windmill play, I can't believe it. But Owens Corning's swing division seems, again, to be windmills.	Love	May 08, 2008
