OT: <Didn't do much for either solar or wind stocks today.>

Obama and his advisors have been consistently signalling their focus on alternative and domestic energy sources. But the alt.-energy stocks follow the price of oil.

As T.B. Pickens said last month:
"Where's the money, is the question. I don't know how we'll do it. I'm anxious to see what Obama comes up with. There is no money to finance a wind project now"..."We had them(investors)standing in line a year ago, they were all over the place," ..."A couple of them that we had have gone out of business."... "I'm a little anxious."

Oil needs to be at least $70 before alternatives make sense again. Or a carbon tax, so the costs of fossil fuel isn't externalised. Or another war in an oil-producing area (lots of possibilities there). Europe has to be thinking harder about wind and solar, to replace unreliable Russian natural gas.
