There plenty of news today on oil prices will they continue to climb or pull back, supply verus demands, is OPEC holding back or are they at there peak or near peak production. I was watching a TV commercial for BP maybe some of you seen it also, BP didn't play on the old advertisement of it gas is better. but instead How it turning to alternative energy sources claiming it the largest producer of solar energy in this country. Does anyone have any thoughts or investments in alternative energy company,

The answer to solar power isn't going to be what BP is focusing on - the small individual use for buildings, homes, pools, etc.....which is called "remote use".
It's going to be Solar Power Plant Farms. And I'm not talking about small Kilawatt ones.....but massive 300+ MegaWatt plants.
Always think ahead = what areas of the world would have a market share of the sun like the "middle east" has on oil ??

paperwhite, you have my synopsis firing. I am not well versed on alternative energy. I would think that it doesn't have to be in a warm (or hot) climate to have an effevtive solar energy producing region. Am I getting "warm" . Give me a hint....

Paperwhite your right, to ease our dependence on oil it will require the mega-watt plants, which will require mega-watts of dollars investments, no matter if it solar or wind turbine farms, what is interesting to me is that the major oil companies as BP and Chevron/texaco and also General Electric subsidairy GE energy are moving in this direction with large investments, GE has been buying up Enrons wind turbine plants maybe they see something on the horizon, if our gov, start getting involved with funds there can be some nice long term investments starting out now.

RPJII,
No it doesn't have to be hot, but it needs to be arid.
Tons of Sun, Not much cloud cover.
What areas sound like that??
Southwest US (AZ, NM, NV, SoCal) Australia Parts of Africa, the country of South Africa being that they are actually industrialized. Certain areas of Spain, Italy = they are promoting renewable energy

I'm afraid the one that could be the biggest hit is currently private.
I haven't found anyone "legit" that is publicly traded...or at least yet.

I just came across this stock before I came to this site so I thought I would post it. I don't have any info on it. All I know is it is the only publicly traded wind farm stock. If anyone wants to do DD and report on it or I will when I have time. The company is USWF.PK, U.S. Wind Farming.
CHICAGO, July 6, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- U.S. Wind Farming Inc. (Other OTC:USWF.PK - News) is an emerging public renewable energy developer and operator establishing Small Distributed (15 megawatts) Wind Turbine Agricultural Renewable Energy Cooperatives on farmers' properties nationwide. U.S. Wind Farming Inc. believes it is time for a paradigm shift in the way people think of energy production and distribution for the United States. USWF is to provide wind systems geared to megawatt ``utility scale'' grids and demands via GE Wind Energy's 1.5 and 2.5 Megawatt Wind Turbines. Each farmer should expect to net a minimum of a $100,000 annual income for each 15 megawatt Small Distributed Wind Turbine Agricultural Renewable Energy Cooperative that USWF installs on his property. Each Cooperative generates approximately $1.8 million in annual income for its members and the local community. Each Cooperative will take advantage of State and Federal Renewable Energy Tax Credits. USWF expects to have the financial resources to install a minimum of 12 cooperatives each year.
