Geothermal Is Getting Red Hot, Part II

I have followed HTM for some time. It is so many shares issued that is way too diluted. It is almost impossible for it to make any earnings per share. It has been hyped that badly. How true is that for the others?

6 Ways to Play Clean Energy

First, I do agree with you that wind and solar just don't make much economic sense. The cost of generating electricity from those sources is just not competitive. Secondly, I have followed HTM for some time. And, yes, it sounds good. But, HTM just never makes any money. And, the stockholders have gotten pounded pretty good. So, what has recently changed to make this stock a winner? I don't see it.

Thirdly, "cap and trade" is dead. I think investing with the hopes that it will come around is a longshot. You're drawing to an inside straight. Possible, but the odds don't favor you.

Obama Touts Solar, Geothermal

Here is my problem with solar and geothermal, when all is said and done what is the cost on a kwhr basis? Everything I read said that solar is on the order of $.35/kwhr and geothermal is around $.25/kwhr. If true, this is far greater then the $.03 to $.05/kwhr that you can do coal with. So, does this mean that solar will always be dependent upon government largesse?
