ETF Update: Alternative Energy and the Power Grid

"Hitting the 20% mark could mean moving large amounts of power over long distances - from the sparsely populated plains to the more densely populated coastal areas. The problem is transmission lines and their connections, which are too small for the amount of power companies want to push through them.

Getting the system up to speed could cost $60 billion or more, but would require no new technology"

Perhaps the real investment here is in the companies who will benefit most from such an upgrade. Any suggestions?
