Global Clean Energy

The fossil fuels that were burned over the last two centuries to produce our energy are quickly vanishing across the planet.

And it’s forcing the world to into an immense transformation…

… And that is, to convert a worldwide high-carbon energy economy–plagued by global warming and a growing dependence on imported oil–into a low-carbon, sustainable energy economy.

Now, the truth is, U.S. leaders have been asleep at the wheel, while much of the world has it figured out:

  • Sugar-based ethanol fueling much of Brazil’s auto fleet

  • Geothermal energy powering Iceland

  • Massive solar power initiatives in Germany and Japan

  • Europe, home to 70% of the world wind turbine market

But the domestic renewable energy landscape is changing…

The Clean Energy Economy

You see, the technology we need to migrate to a clean energy economy already exists. And the money needed to invest in these technologies, and these companies, is pouring into the green energy sector (a whopping $148 billion worldwide investment, at last count).

The biggest hurdle domestically has been our own despondent, Big Oil-influenced political leaders.

But right now, public policy is changing in the U.S., allowing clean, green, renewable energy developments to finally take off–and take over–its rightful place in our planet’s energy future.

In fact, to date, 36 states have completed or have in place comprehensive climate action plans. And over half of all states and the District of Columbia require that utilities generate specified amounts of electricity from renewable sources.

… Which brings us to an extraordinary win-win:

An Epic Wealth-Building Opportunity for Individual Investors

Not only are jobs in the clean tech sector growing worldwide, but so are the market caps of companies involved in the clean energy space. In 2007, there were 135 publicly traded ‘green energy’ companies, operating within a cumulative market cap of $100 billion.

That’s a hefty jump from 2005, when 85 clean energy companies represented a total market cap of $50 billion… half of what it is today!

Bottom line: the momentum in renewable energy is unstoppable. And what’s shaping up right now is, hands down, one of the greatest investment opportunities of this century.

The energy transformation is already upon us. And there’s simply no better place to put your money. Stay tuned for more…
