Energy conservation simply means the observation of certain acts to minimize the use of energy. There are plenty of ways to conserve energy. There may be conservation in one’s home, workplace, or the community in general.

There are many reasons why a person should conserve energy, but the most common reason is to save money. Big companies and institutions resort to energy conservation to increase or maximize their profit.

I’m just wondering if this new Cap&Trade legislation is more than meets the eye.

Does anyone know how many congressman have investments in industries that will AUTOMATICALLY begin to make money when mandated use of “green energy” is put into law??

Meaning how many of these Congressman have a conflict of interest?? (Kinda like Chris Dodd’s wife sits on FOUR healthcare company boards, YET Dodd is writing healthcare legislatino)
Oh brother, much thanks for the links!!!!

Alternative energy stock portfolios are a great part of a modern investor’s financial plan, due to the fac that there is so much upward potential. These make excellent long term growth investment vehicles, and the money put into them by you, the investor, serves to further the cause of implementing the alternative energy power sources that we need as we sail into the 21st century and beyond.

Analysts predict that by 2013, the alternative energy industry will be a $13 billion dollar industry in today’s dollars. This figure bespeaks an enormous return on investment.

In his State of the Union Address for 2007, President George W. Bush called for a 22% increase in federal grants for research and development of alternative energy. However, in a speech he gave soon after, he said to those assembled, I recognize that there has been some interesting mixed signals when it comes to funding.

Where the mixed signals were coming from concerned the fact that at the same time the President was calling on more government backing for research and development, the NREL, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory of Golden, Colardo was laying off workers and contractors left and right.

Experts on “green” alternative energy say that the shift from the current petroleum-powered society will not be an entirely easy one. The amount of expertise and infrastructures needed to push that shift looks mind-boggling, although Germany has already shown its capacity to generate at least 10 per cent of its total energy needs from wind turbines and solar clusters. Also there has also been a noticeable rise in the number of companies engaged in power generation that supports the alternative energy goals, moved apparently by rebate incentives and tax amnesties offered by governments involved. The expansive lag we need to close indicates how complacent we have been for a long time on the alternative energy mission. Thus it has not been entirely surprising that we find ourselves today cramming to recover opportunities offered by alternative energy sources.

Alternative energy experts further suggest that there is a need for a coordinated global effort to lessen our almost total reliance on petroleum. This traditional energy source, being largely non-renewable, is bound to become more costly to produce and therefore more expensive to consumers. It is also one of the biggest causes of environmental pollution. Moreover, continued oil exploration by its nature is an ecosystem hazard.

Oil prices are spiralling to new records just about each day. In addition, oil is mostly produced in politically unstable parts of the world; this caused problems in the 1990′s and may do so again. Consequently, we may never see oil prices come down or even stabilize.

Because of escalating oil prices, many ventures are being formed to find other ways of creating energy that is friendly to the environment as well as cheap. Alternative energy is becoming the new wave to lessen the demand for oil while helping our environment.

I want to buy stocks in Green/Renewable Energy. Such as Solar, Wind etc.
Does any one know which company’s sell stocks in the $5.00 to $15.00 rang? I plan on holding the stocks for a couple of years or maybe more and the trade commissions are at $12.99. I have looked and looked but having trouble on where t look…. Thank you all

I want to find out about companies leading the fight against global warming. I’ve found a few overseas companies (like Norway’s REC); but I want stocks of domestic companies. I’ve tried a couple screeners but it doesn’t seem like the “category” is even recognized yet. Any help will be appreciated.

I want to know when the renewable energy boom will likely happen, in what year and when I should consider buying into their stocks with options?
