And what is the best way to get a piece of that investment? Are there any trade companies poised to take advantage of the need for energy conservation. I assume that fuel cell companies like Ballard Energy {automobiles), or PLUG and FCEL (home and industry) will benefit. There are wind power companies, but I think the only pure play is a company in Denmark. The technology for semiconductor cells that convert sunlight into electrical power is mostly owned by big oil companies but that's not a very pure play. Any other thoughts?
ciao,

After the next couple of rate increases the only thing that will save the US is more of the same: more cheap money.

If they can pull it off, expect even lower mortgage rates, a new bout of refi. More and more debt.

I'll have to buy a new shredder for the credit card apps, this one is almost worn out.

<< expect that Americans will plow yet another round of money into their homes. This time it will be for energy conservation and alternative energy systems like solar panels>>

Since China is putting up the world's largest plant for solar panel production, J6P should be able to soon buy the equipment inexpensively at Walmart, Home Depot, Cost Co, and maybe even McDonald's.
