Alternative Energy for Investors: High Volatility, Great Promise

In such a nascent and volatile market I wonder if ETF's or funds will really be an effective way to capture the opportunity in the sector. Wouldn't the outsized returns of a few stars be completely killed by the failure of hundreds of start-ups?

Also, I agree with the thought that the industry probably won't really see great returns until they get gov't subsidies or some radical innovations occur. But the way things are going, our government may HAVE to subsidize these sources of energy production.
