Green energy stocks have an almost intoxicating allure. These alternative energy companies offer a means of generating power with minimal environmental impact; producing no direct emissions of greenhouse gas pollutants. Furthermore, there’s no dependence on foreign energy supplies, a dependence that increasingly jeopardizes our national security. One of President Obama's major policy goals is to address carbon-dioxide (CO2) emissions by funding clean alternative energy companies. The massive USD$787 billion stimulus plan that passed Congress in 2009 includes billions of dollars in funding for alternative energy companies and projects.
Some projections call for solar and other green energy sources to comprise a $100 billion market in coming years. Companies that rise to dominate these new technologies will multiply their investors’ wealth many times. Make no mistake; these are some of the highest potential stocks on Wall Street. Rising energy prices and environmental concerns will set off a wave of frenetic buying in selected alternative energy companies. The key to cashing in is to buy now while prices are still reasonable.
In this FREE special report, Best Alternative Energy Stocks: The Top Green Energy Stocks and Alternative Energy Companies to Buy Now, we reveal our favorite alternative energy stocks to add to your portfolio today.
Read on for a brief look at a few of the green energy stocks we cover in much more detail in the report.

Wind Power’s Competitive Blowhards
Clean, more efficient than ever, not dependent on fossil fuels and aided by the government, wind power’s use is growing rapidly across the country and world. Wind power is the most economically competitive of the major alternative energy sources and requires far lower subsidies, if any, than solar does. The cost of wind energy has fallen 80 percent since the early ’80s. Now competitive with coal and much cheaper than either natural gas- or oil-generated electricity, it’s enjoying a worldwide surge.
Our best alternative energy stocks list includes the world’s largest pure-play developer of windmills and the most-prominent pure play on wind power’s growth. The company is profitable and growing sales rapidly. The balance sheet is strong, and it has a huge backlog of orders from all over the world.
This king of alternative energy companies is located in Europe, so while it is available on the U.S. Pink Sheets, it can also be purchased through one of our favorite green energy ETFs for wind.
Another wind power play selected for the best alternative energy stocks has tremendous international experience, with diverse operations in 29 countries. Of particular significance is its partnership with China’s largest sovereign wealth fund, which recently paid $1.6 billion for a 15 percent equity stake in this pearl of green energy stocks. Described by management as a “game-changer,” this Chinese investment cash will fund the company’s estimated $4 billion project pipeline, including 6,600 megawatts of wind generation currently in development. This gem of alternative energy stocks now expects earnings per share to rise 14 to 17 percent annually well into the next decade.

Solar Power Is Piping Hot
Solar power isn’t flower power anymore. There have been tremendous strides made in increasing the size and efficiency of solar panels and other devices. And costs have declined sharply as well. Europe and Japan are still the primary markets for solar products, but China and India are turning to solar in a big way.
Even in the U.S., consumers and companies are starting to use the sun for everything from heating swimming pools to basic lighting. Solar is only going to become more important in the coming years. And we could be in for an explosion of usage if natural gas and oil prices stay high and volatile, as we expect they will.
Our best alternative energy companies list includes the leader in thin-film solar panels made from cadmium telluride. Although thin-film cells are half as efficient as traditional polysilicon photovoltaic (PV) cells, they're also cheaper, and this king among green energy stocks has long been considered a technological leader in terms of price per watt generated.

Biofuels: Seed Corn is a Gas
Biofuels are liquid fuels derived from agricultural products. The most important biofuel in the U.S. market is ethanol, an alcohol made primarily from corn. The U.S. has enacted legislation requiring that the nation boost biofuel consumption to 36 billion gallons by 2022.
The number one biofuel pick on our best alternative energy stocks list is the world leader in genetically modified (GM) seeds and is at least 18 to 24 months ahead of its competitors in terms of seed technology. Its seed corn resists root, stalk and ear insects. The technology should enable farmers to boost crop yields 5 to 10 percent.
Another biofuel alternative energy company that made the cut has traditionally focused on herbicides and pesticides rather than GM seed development. But in recent years the company has expanded into the latter business as well. This gem of alternative energy companies produces a number of specialized products with limited competition; the company appears to be gaining market share and is well positioned. Asian rust has wreaked havoc on corn crops across the Americas, and the company produces a niche chemical that helps control this devastating disease.

Geothermal’s Volcanic Potential
Zero greenhouse gas emissions, 90 percent average availability as a power source, minimal land requirements and competitive costs: Those are just a few of the advantages of geothermal power. The process for a geothermal power plant basically works like this. A reservoir of high-pressure hot water is located underground. Wells are drilled into it to bring steam to the surface, where the steam and separated hot water drive a power plant’s turbines. The heat energy is converted into electrical energy, and the cooled water is injected back to the reservoir, where it’s reheated.
The best alternative energy stocks list includes a geothermal leader that currently owns and operates a dozen geothermal power stations worldwide with roughly 600 megawatts of capacity and has another eight in various stages of development. The company has built plants with another 600 megawatts of capacity for utilities and other developers. Unlike many players in its industry, this green energy stocks standout is no fledgling, having survived and thrived for more than four decades. Investors can look forward to consistent growth.
These are just a few of the top alternative energy stocks we cover in much greater detail in this FREE report. Sign up today and you’ll also discover our favorite alternative energy companies in the geothermal, hydro-electric and fuel cell sectors.
