ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS

The information under this item in this Current Report is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section.  The information under this item in this Current Report shall not be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

On August 31, 2010, Genesis Fluid Solutions Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release entitled “Genesis Fluid Solutions Expands its Business Strategy as it Enters the Growing Energy Efficiency Industry,” a copy of which is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Corporate Strategy and Proposed Name Change

Blue Earth, Inc. was selected as a new corporate name for Genesis Fluid Solutions Holdings, Inc., subject to shareholder approval, in August of 2010 as the Board of Directors elected to broaden the Company’s focus to include additional market sectors of the clean technology industry in general, in contrast to only focusing on waterway restoration and remediation. The Company will continue to capitalize on its past investments in the patented Rapid Dewatering System, through royalty agreements negotiated from the sale of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary to a group of buyers, including a former officer and director.
 
In addition, Blue Earth, Inc. hired an experienced management team to focus on a mergers and acquisition strategy to acquire, license, develop, market, install and monitor clean-tech related, innovative technologies and energy management systems. Johnny R. Thomas, CEO and President and John C. Francis, Vice President Development and Investor Relations, have over 25 years experience in founding and operating public companies. They grew revenues in one publicly traded company from $29,000 to over $350 million by acquiring thirty-four companies in approximately four years, while at the same time increasing its market capitalization to over $1 billion.  See Item 5.02 below.
 
Management also intends to accelerate introduction of the acquired technology/products by offering and installing them through energy management services companies and manufacturers representatives, which have an established base of customers at the local, state, regional and national levels. In order to accelerate product introduction, management expects to enter into various types of agreements with these energy management companies, including joint venture/associate relationships and acquisition agreements, as may be appropriate, for each company and geographic territory.
 
Blue Earth, Inc. intends to acquire innovative technologies and established, reputable energy management services companies, using restricted common stock, cash and/or debt in combinations appropriate for each potential acquisition. The new management team is experienced in negotiating such transitions, having completed thirty-four acquisitions in less than four years in another public company. Management has also negotiated a number of licenses and working relationships when these types of arrangements were deemed appropriate.

Blue Earth, Inc. management has identified commercially viable, innovative energy efficient and water and wastewater technologies that will enable the Company to develop an internal sales and services organization. We are currently in the process of negotiating license agreements for innovative technologies and will continue to identify and negotiate the rights for other innovative clean-tech technologies.
 
We strive to participate in the global movement for a sustainable planet by offering products and services that optimize energy use, reduce harmful environmental emissions and substantially reduce energy costs to our customers.
