SCHEDULE 13D


*CUSIP No. 894727 10 6*		*Page 5 of 10 Pages*

This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 1”) restates in its entirety the Schedule 13D filed by Lawrence S. Coben (“Coben”) with respect to ownership of the common stock of Tremisis Energy Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”).

This Amendment No. 1 also includes information relating to Isaac Kier, Secretary and director of the Issuer (“Kier”) and Jon Schotz, director of Issuer (“Schotz”), as a result of the transaction described in the second paragraph of Item 3 and in Item 4(a) below. Coben, Kier and Schotz are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Directors” and individually as a “Director.”

The percentages of beneficial ownership reflected in this Amendment No. 1 are based upon 7,700,000 shares outstanding as of December 31, 2005 as set forth in the Issuer’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Item 1. Security and Issuer

The class of equity securities to which this Statement on Schedule 13D relates is the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Issuer. The principal executive office of the Issuer is 1775 Broadway, Suite 604, New York, New York 10019.

Item 2. Identity and Background.

This Statement is being filed by the Directors. The business address of Coben and Kier is 1775 Broadway, Suite 604, New York, New York 10019.

The business address of Schotz is c/o Saybrook Capital, LLC, 401 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 850, Santa Monica, California 90401. Schotz has been a Director of the Issuer since its inception.

SCHEDULE 13D


*CUSIP No. 894727 10 6*		*Page 6 of 10 Pages*

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

In February 2004, in connection with the Issuer’s formation, each of Coben, Kier and Schotz purchased 550,000, 100,000 and 50,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively, at a purchase price of approximately $0.033 per share. Each of the individuals used his personal funds to purchase such shares at that time. In March 2004, the Issuer’s board of directors authorized a 1.1666666-to-one forward stock split of the Common Stock, effectively lowering the purchase price to $0.029 per share. In April 2004, the Issuer’s board of directors authorized a 1.1428571-to-one forward stock split of the Common Stock and a 1.3750-to-one forward stock split of the Common Stock, effectively lowering the purchase price to $0.018 per share. As a result of the foregoing stock splits, the number of shares held by Coben, Kier and Schotz was increased to 1,008,334, 183,334 and 91,666 shares of Common Stock, respectively, hereinafter referred to as the “Shares”).

In March 2006, the Directors entered into a “written plan for trading securities” within the meaning of Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Act”). Pursuant to such plan, the Directors have agreed to purchase an aggregate of 75,000 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock at prices less than or equal to $5.55 per share and 1,000,000 warrants (“Warrants”), each Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock, at prices less than or equal to $1.00 per Warrant; provided that such purchases will be made in compliance with Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Act and will cease upon consummation of the Merger described in Item 4(b). Accordingly, if the maximum number of shares of Common Stock and Warrants are purchased, each Director will have purchased 25,000 shares of Common Stock and approximately 333,333 Warrants.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The Directors acquired the Shares for investment purposes.

(a) Each of the Directors may acquire additional securities from time to time in the open market or in private transactions. In March 2006, the Directors entered into a “written plan for trading securities” within the meaning of Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Act. Pursuant to such plan, the Directors have agreed to purchase an aggregate of 75,000 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock at prices less than or equal to $5.55 per share and 1,000,000 Warrants at prices less than or equal to $1.00 per Warrant; provided that such purchases will be made in compliance with Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Act and will cease upon consummation of the Merger described in Item 4(b). Accordingly, if the maximum number of shares of Common Stock and Warrants are purchased, each Director will have purchased 25,000 shares of Common Stock and approximately 333,333 Warrants. Additionally, Kier and Schotz hold Warrants to purchase 430,000 and 150,000 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock, respectively. The Warrants have an exercise price of $5.00 per share and will become exercisable upon completion by the Issuer of a business combination with a target business.

SCHEDULE 13D


*CUSIP No. 894727 10 6*		*Page 7 of 10 Pages*

(b) On October 20, 2005, the Issuer signed the Merger Agreement, which was amended on November 11, 2005 and February 15, 2006. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Acquisition Sub will merge (the “Merger”) with and into RAM, with RAM surviving the merger. RAM will thereafter continue as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the holders of outstanding RAM securities will receive, in exchange for such securities, an aggregate of $30,000,000 cash and approximately 25,600,000 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock. Twelve and one-half percent of the Issuer’s Common Stock to be issued to RAM stockholders will be placed in escrow to provide the sole remedy for the Issuer’s indemnity rights under the Merger Agreement.

Pursuant to Letter Agreement, dated March 3, 2004, between the Issuer, EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. and each of the Directors, when the Issuer seeks stockholder approval of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, each Director has agreed to vote the Shares on such proposal in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the holders of the shares of Common Stock issued in the Issuer’s initial public offering. Additionally, in connection with the Merger Agreement, the stockholders of RAM and certain of the stockholders of the Issuer, including Coben, have entered into a voting agreement (“Voting Agreement”). Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, the Issuer’s Board of Directors will be increased to five members, of whom four will be designees of the RAM stockholders and one will be a designee of Coben and Kier. Additionally, Coben and Kier have agreed to vote in favor of the election or re-election of the designees of the RAM stockholders following the Merger through the election of directors to be held at the Issuer’s annual meeting in 2008.

The Merger is expected to be consummated during the second quarter of 2006, after the required approval by the Issuer’s stockholders and the fulfillment of certain other closing conditions.

At the date of this Statement, none of the Directors, except as set forth in this Statement, the Merger Agreement and Voting Agreement discussed in this Item 4, and consistent with each of the Director’s position with the Issuer, has any plans or proposals which would result in:

(a) The acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer;

(b) An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;

(j) Any action similar to any of those actions enumerated above.
