That said, there are a small few that offer a bit of a dividend - IDA, WFMI, WTR - there are a few more, I'll do a post on my blog about it this week. There's also a green non traded REIT on the horizon, but they're finishing up SEC filings, so it could be a few months before they're live. And even then, no telling what/if the yield will be worth anything until they accrue some property.

If anyone else knows of any dividend producing green stocks, I'd be interested in hearing about them as well!]]> Sun, 20 Jul 2008 22:34:52 -0400 Finding "green" dividends can be a tall order, and not very reliable.

Either way, the point still stands, despite my erroneous math. Thanks for the notice, I'll make note of it on my blog as well. Cheers!]]> Fri, 18 Jul 2008 17:14:46 -0400

Renewable energy like wind and solar are bound to go up and down, and are even bound to become obsolete as technology changes, but the same argument can apply to traditional energy - oil and coal are bound to run out, become prohibitively expensive, and possibly destroy the ecosystem in the process. Personally, I prefer the risks of the former to the risks of the latter.]]> Wed, 09 Jul 2008 10:45:20 -0400

It's the same story all the time. In the end, it will take a massive ideological overhaul of the Street, one that promotes corporate accountability and sustainable business practice over short term gains, to fix it. So really, it will never happen. Every 10 or 20 years this will happen again (see the real estate bust in the 1980s).

(Here's where I take a moment for shameless self promotion) To that end, I say invest sustainable, green, and socially responsible (see my website). It's not a solution, but at least it's a start, and you can sleep a LITTLE better!]]> Mon, 07 Jul 2008 14:37:51 -0400

FAN is DEFINITELY worth watching, and even worth considering as a buy on the early boat. For my money, I'm patient for the most part - wind will be far more volatile in the short run I think. But I agree it's worth the watch (especially as it's already down 5% since it opened, buying opportunities could abound!).]]> Sun, 29 Jun 2008 22:49:20 -0400 I definitely agree - solar, while not entirely overpriced in my opinion, has been quickly inflated due to demand for green energy exposure.
