Profiting from Clean Energy, by by Richard Asplund

This is from Chris Jones' post in the BostonIBD group:

Sat down and scanned "Profiting from Clean Energy" by Richard Asplund,
tom this may help you. He list 100 + stocks that can be trades in all
areas from oil and solar to polysilicon wafer producers to tidal
power, led bulbs and building efficiency.

A good read and you don't need to believe in global warming. He
emphasizes that these are the areas tha will be growing under
increasing demand. The book was written in 2006 so we have heard of
70% of the companies. He pieces it all together very nicely and
explains the difference between the market shift and the regulatory
shifts.

best,

chris
