My Top 5 Alternative Energy Stocks - and 10 Honorable Mentions

Nice discussion. If you don't mind some comments from a newbie (not my age) - I agree that solar will join wind in surging in both the near and far term. The comments critical of wind don't jive. There is plenty of land left, and as someone noted the footprint of towers is relateively small. Certainly solar takes a larger footprint, but who cares when the size of the desert will dwarf the size needed for solar. One thing to remember about wind. It complements solar because it is available at night. The plus sides of that: more lighting is used at night, electric cars would mostly be re-charged at night, and...it is windier at night ! Until we figure out how to store electricity we are going to need both. I think diversification is the answer here - which is why I like your geothermal and ocean wave pics too. Thanks, Andrew - an excellent thread.
