Any opinions on the companies mentioned in the following article? Burgeoning 'Clean Energy' Sector One to Watch in 2008 WASHINGTON, March 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Amid a challenging economic outlook, clean energy shows no signs of a slowdown in 2008. According to Clean Edge which has tracked the sector since 2000, revenue growth in the four benchmark clean energy industries -- wind, solar, bio-fuels and fuel cells -- is up 40% and predicted to triple over the next decade to an astonishing $254 billion. All the growth has meant that investment capital has poured into the sector -- with clean energy stocks easily outpacing the broader markets. The NASDAQ's "Clean Edge" index was up 66.67 percent last year, compared to just 3.53 percent for the S&P 500 and 9.81 percent for the NASDAQ Composite. But as spectacular as overall clean energy index returns have been lately -- wind and solar companies in particular have fared even better. Shares of Emcore Corp. (Nasdaq: EMKR) climbed after Jeffries & Co analyst John Lau issued an upbeat opinion about the company's solar-power business expansion. Demand for photovoltaic panels used to generate solar power is at record levels and analysts at Bank of America are recommending Suntech Power (NYSE: STP), one of the industry's largest manufacturers. Wind energy companies are also reaping the benefits of the clean power surge. CNBC guest analyst Francis Gaskins just published a new higher $4.00 target on NACEL Energy (OTC Bulletin Board: NCEN). NACEL Energy shares have jumped more than 60% since their IPO December 10th 2007. The Company develops utility class wind turbine power projects, such as its recently announced Blue Creek 20-megawatt facility north of Amarillo, TX. San Francisco based Clean Edge, Inc. provides industry intelligence and insight into the clean energy sector. The Company sponsors the NASDAQ "Clean Edge" index and publishes the annual Clean Energy Trends report which was referenced for this update. A Before the Bell(TM) renewable energy update. wikio.com This was one of the search results for 'John Lau' I just did. I heard him on Bloomberg Radio while driving up I-95 Tuesday and was hoping to find an e-mail address for him if I can not figure out the stock symbols for a semiconductor company he recommended. Lynn
