Starting point for investment ideas

I wanted to read this book because President Obama is making significant changes to our energy policy, and I thought that it would be beneficial to read a book on green investing. I really like the structure of the book. The author writes about the "green" industry, which includes subfields such as solar, biofuels, or wind power. He makes his case of why he thinks that there are growth opportunities and then lists companies within that industry. Each company listed gets a short description, reasons to be bullish, and reasons to be bearish. I absolutely love this book because it gives me a starting point for investment ideas. But, it is only a starting point. I would never recommend anyone buying stocks based just on the information in this book without doing more research. - Mariusz Skonieczny, author of Why Are We So Clueless about the Stock Market?

Attracted to clean technology, read this book!

Jack Uldrich creates an interesting and very well researched guide for those attracted to clean technology; both the beginner investor wanting to make environmentally aware investments and experienced investors looking for information on wind, solar, biofuels and other clean tech will benefit from this book. I would recommend for those people interested in environmental investing in specific technologies like biofuels (chapter 4), solar investing (chapter 5) or wind investing (chapter 6) read that chapter first. Then proceed to chapter 7, Alternative Energies, where Green Investing covers geothermal, fuel cell, wave and clean coal investment opportunities. In my opinion chapter 8 on energy conservation shows the most promise for short term investing, in regards to clean technologies, and make the purchase price of the book a great investment - well worth the purchase price. To go on the author, Jack Uldrich, does a great job of presenting facts and research on the green tech companies and to his credit he keeps the passion (hype) out of the presentation. Having read several of his books, and heard him speak on a few occasions, if you want passion on future technology you can't go wrong with one of his other books, in fact you must read: "Jump the Curve" (2008) and "The Next Big Thing is Really Small" (2003).
