Question

How can I invest money in the future,,Green?

Answer 1

If you are looking to actually invest in the market, look for companies that produce energy efficient products, use manufacturing techniques that pollute less, etc.  It doesn't necessarily have to be an environmental or "green" company.  One of my favorites is a company called Cree.  They are a leading research, development, and manufacturing firm for LEDs, and have made great strides in producing low wattage, high-brightness LEDs that are now entering the residential market and have been used in commercial/industrial applications for a while.  For example, their bulbs use substantially less energy than standard bulbs and last many times longer, and they don't have the problem of mercury like compact fluorescents do.  Also look for companies that work on more energy efficient conductors for electrical applications, pollutant scrubbing devices for factory wastes, biological wastewater treatment technologies, etc.

Answer 4

What if you petitioned your local electric power company to place solar panels on the roofs of businesses, state and federal buildings, university and college buildings by asking investor such as you to buy a few solar panels that they would install and maintain. The utility could make a mass purchase to keep costs to a minimum and to ensure quality and then sell them to you at cost. If each "investor bought just a few panels, their out of pocket cost would be minimal but they could then begin benefitting from net metering. Either each investor could receive a dividend based on their investment or get their own electric bill reduced by the amount of their input. It seems like a partial solution to the argument that solar is far too expensive for an individual. If it worked, you could buy more panels when you saved again and further increase your value.

We may not agree on the way we should produce energy but we are going to need huge amounts and we will be needing it very soon. Somebody has to get off their duff and start creating better ways to supply it. It would be really nice if this time ... us little folks could participate as well as the big power plant executives.
