Everyone knows that I've been promoting green energy over fossil fuels and nuclear since 1980 (Rock Against Radiation) and before, however the past few years I have been stepping up efforts by launching a range of green power investing blogs. Now we reach a Josephson Juncture where the Gulf of Mexico travesty may be unprecedented in magnitude, therefore accelerating the pace of technological growth and implementation of a sustainable clean energy economy.
Choosing your equity investments wisely is more crucial than ever, yet if you think that investing alone will stop this train wreck of 20th century inertia I'd suggest you give your head a shake. Still, there are companies that have great technology, systems and people and they can be key contributors during our transition to an Infinite Energy Electro-Hydrogen Economy.
Here are some stocks worth considering for any ethical portfolio, particularly those focused on ecology and clean energy (note that I haven't followed these companies too closely the past year, so am not commenting on their current valuation, they are included because they have looked promising over the past few years generally):
Infinite Energy Based Electro-Hydrogen Economy
Ormat Tech ORA - Geothermal powerhouse so highly respected and globally accomplished they'll have their pick of the best projects for a long time to come.
GT Solar International SOLR - SOLR creates solar power manufacturing equipment and has been experiencing exponential growth.
Suzlon Wind Energy - India's major wind energy company is an emerging global power producer with plenty of blue sky.
Yingli Green Energy - Baoding, China-based photovoltaic power producer may be positioned for years of high growth and profitability. View Legend of Ying Ying online animation.
Vestas Windpower - Denmark's world-leading wind turbine manufacturer is the gold standard globally. Their market share will likely decline, yet they are the bluest of the green chips, the Mercedes of a Chevy and Ford industry.
Energy Conversion Devices ENER - US photovoltaic solar energy company commercializes materials, products, and production processes for the alternative energy generation, energy storage, and information technology markets. The company operates in two segments: United Solar Ovonic and Ovonic Materials. The United Solar Ovonic segment designs, develops, manufactures, and sells proprietary thin-film solar (photovoltaic or PV) modules, which are lightweight, thin, flexible, and durable products for converting sunlight into electricity. It sells these PV modules to commercial roofing materials manufacturers, builders and building contractors, and solar power installers/integrators, who incorporate these PV modules into their products and services for commercial sale.
Suntech Power Holdings STP - Suntech designs, develops, manufactures, and markets photovoltaic cells and modules. Hit 52 week low in June 2010; bottom-fishers take note!
LDK Solar LDK - LDK sells silicon wafers to many of the world's top photovoltaic energy companies.
Spire Corp SPIR - Manufacturer of building-integrated solar power products and turnkey solar energy manufacturing equipment; perhaps not as exciting as GT Solar, but a proven technology company with medical division also.
ReneSola (ADR) SOL - Jiashan, China-based manufacturer of solar wafers took a big hit in Q4 but investors now starting to look ahead.
Evergreen Solar ESLR - Former darling of the US solar industry fell over 90% during the credit markets crash but continues to post revenue growth; reached a 52 week low in June 2010 so worth looking at.

MEMC Electronic Materials WFR - Though sales from the computer side have slowed and overall revenue has also stalled, the coming revival in the solar industry will give WFR new traction.
First Solar FSLR - World's largest solar energy company has been mostly in a 100-160 band since the Wall Street financial collapse, so this next rally will ry to covert 160-180 from resistance to support.
Clean Energy Fuels CLNE - Clean Ener is the most likely beneficiary of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster, at least it will be if there are some remnants of sanity left in the United States of America. It looks like the stock may have short term bottomed in early June 2010, and has resumed its one year plus upward trend.
