Wall Street Chases Alternative Energy with Subsidies

These alternatives will always be a drop in the bucket. What is needed is more conservation and fusion development.

It costs 17,000 in America. Where I live it costs about 4,000 for the same setup... joke's on you, again...

ahhh - september -- let the dumping begin -- remember to flush!!

weew, now I can rest easy, Wall Street is going to fix the energy crisis with other peoples money! May the biggest idiot win.

Barbara_wawa is right- Wind Power is a scam! It is not a reliable source of power, it kills migrating birds (where's PETA?), it denudes vegetation, and emitts noise and vibrations that harm animals and humans. See www.wind-watch.org. Furthermore, according to Al Gore (interviewed by CNBC) last year, we need to build a 3 trillion dollar grid to move the wind power. Of cource, Al G. stands to gain by this.

why not jus give all Americans tis.... BUY AMERICAN and keep George Washington in the 57...oops! 50 states working for the United States of America....not stuck in a foreign bank. ——— Washington had been reelected unanimously in 1792. His decision not to seek a third term established a tradition that is now embedded in the 22d Amendment of the Constitution. In his Farewell Address of Sept. 17, 1796, he drew on the results of his varied experience, offering a guide for both present and future. He urged his compatriots to cherish the Union, support the public credit, be alert to the “insidious wiles of foreign influence,” respect the Constitution and the nation’s laws, abide by the results of elections, and eschew political parties of a sectional cast. Asserting that the United States and Europe had different interests, he declared that it “is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world,” trusting to temporary alliances for emergencies. He also warned against indulging in either habitual favoritism or habitual hostility toward particular nations, lest such attitudes should provoke or involve the country in needless wars. ————————

That's why I like ETF ICLN; it covers a broad spectrum of alternative energy stocks.

Wall Street is chasing alternative energy? Wall Street can chase THIS. I got your “alternative energy” hangin’!

That's right, send more good paying jobs to china. Come on America, pay the $17,000.00 and keep the jobs here. That is what helped cause the problems we face now. When a country manufactures nothing, all the wealth is sucked right out of it. No jobs equals no money to spend.

Take Your profits now / all of you that bought cheap stocks I suggest you sell before it's too late / The Bears are showing up and this market is going to come flaming down to earth even lower than the beginning of the year

georgem: You feed us with a lot of doom and gloom bull here. If you want to lock yourself inside and cry about the economy, do it on your own. We don't want to see your negative bull here. I am sorry the economy has not gotten as bad as you had hoped! Keep it up and you'll miss one of the largest economic rebounds in 40 years (see independent report from National Economic Board). We need alternative energies, just not enough has been invested in sources that are reliable, abundant, and efficent. Ultimately wind nor solar power is not the way to go but atleast a step in the right direction.

If wind power is such a great idea, why did T. Boone Pickens get out of it and is now pushing CNG???? Me, I just got my Flux Capacitor back from the shop and going to put it on the DeLorean tonight after work. I am then going back in time and buying 1,000 shares of Microsoft ....

Chubby? -200 before close? Did you put your shorts in yet?

before he makes assertions about how long it takes to "payback" a system perhaps he should run some numbers, like compare it to other home investments, like a remodeled bathroom, kitchen, etc. also, energy is an expense, perhaps having clean energy might deserve a premium. transportation is an expense, i dont see folks saying my bmw needs to pay itself off in 20 years.

SOCAL USC - Tuesday September 01, 2009 12:08PM EDT – “Come on America, pay the $17,000.00 and keep the jobs here.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SEVENTEEN GRAND to help Americans? You must be nuts! You can tell just by looking at those emaciated slaves that they’re a better investment than the lazy bunch we have here!

C is owned by Obama so no suprise that they invested.....The largest oponent to wind energy in our neck of the woods, lawyers and the Sierra Club.

Someone check... Did Obama talk on TV today at 10:00am ET?

An 80% -90% drop in solar panels. That is realistic. Wind is a good choice. Also, a nice home based wind turbine costs about $300, so you need the major investment of the power inverter first, then you can modulate wind turbine installs.

georgem is the username of Chicken Little.

All of those Jokers a couple of weeks ago saying The S&P at 1,100.00 that tells you how much these fools Know how about 600 by the end of the year
