Malcolm: Do you have particular companies in mind for that? So I don't think if we put all our dough into oil companies that we will necessarily do as well as buying shrewdly chosen companies the products or services of which drastically save energy. I like the concept and I've looked, but I haven't bit on anything due to abiding concerns about valuation and/or the substitution of less efficient for more efficient means of producing power. You can't bless a technology as economic just because it's green. Gov'ts can change the equation for what alternative power technologies are economic by pricing externalities into it, via tax policy or pollution limits/credits, etc. However, that generally hasn't happened yet in the U.S. I've dabbled with Capstone Turbine (CPST), which makes micro-turbines, some of which were made to run on methane from dumpsites! Nice concept but the company barely has a pulse, and seems to need a perpetual power crisis to thrive. I've also looked at the usual suspects, PLUG, etc.
