As a finance, naturally financial market interests me a lot. Ever since starting this blog, I realize that humans have come far enough and now have the compentency to easily create alternative energy. The only problem, like most other things in life, is money. We hear a lot in the media about going green and the government convincing us to conserve energy, but we are never really given incentives to do so. Sure we get tax breaks here and there, but in the end we know the government will take it back somehow, plus we never really see the effects of efforts.
Now, investorideas.com (an site that gives people information on investments), has provided everyone out there with a compilation of companys that do research in renewable energy sources. Best of all, its even sorted in catagories! This may not seem like any amazing breakthru in research or alternative energy, however, by providing potential investors with the options to check out these stocks, companys will be able to have adequate funding easier. Also, the added exposure to investors will allow people to keep track on any new innovative inventions, so even if consumers don’t invest, they may be interested in switching to a more environmentally friend energy source.

And is anyone else suprised that there is a catagory for defense stocks too?

That kind of stuff is such a good incentive for people in the market to get thinking about greener businesses and perceiving them in a more positive light. Any other ideas on how else to offer incentives to potential investors in this same light? I think it’s a really neat concept.

Too bad these researches take so much money. I think that the easiest way to get the proper funding would be to convince investors that the alternative energy business is a profitable industry in the long stretch. However, the problem is that no one is willing to take the initial risk. Then again, can’t really blame investors from shying away since no one can really tell how much money is required before this industry can provide consistent income.
