Customer Reviews

A solid, well-referenced book on green investing
Lead author Jeff Siegel is managing editor of Green Chip Stocks (an investment advisory service which has been running since 2004) so he is very well informed and turns out very readable copy. This substantial hardback leans heavily on peak oil, and even peak uranium, as the rationale for a renewable future and says that "there is little doubt that companies operating within this industry today will ultimately become the dominant players in the overall energy generation and transportation mix of tomorrow...welcome to the greatest investment opportunity of the twenty-first century!". The main sectors covered are solar, wind, geothermal, marine & tidal, waste-to-energy, and energy efficiency. There's no mention of hydrogen or fuel cells. There are profiles of a decent smattering of companies, the majority US-listed. This is a solid, well-referenced work although it lacks any consumer guide on the `how to' of investing.
