Alternative and renewable energy companies either directly produce energy from renewable or environmentally-benign sources, or develop and commercialize technologies and applications for the production of clean energy. Clean technologies (cleantech) are technologies that allow the economy to maintain and grow its output while neutralizing or minimizing adverse impacts on the environment. Cleantech includes innovations in a number of areas such as pollution control, water management, materials science and nanotechnology. Alternative energy, renewable energy and cleantech play an increasingly larger role in all areas of industry and modern life.
The goal for this website is to be the premier resource for investors who are looking to invest in alternative energy and cleantech stocks. However, there is a lot that we don't know about investing in cleantech and alternative energy. We would thus love to have all visitors take part in the intelligence gathering process so that we can strive to meet our website's goals.
As Dan Gillmor said at a conference on Open Source Journalism, "My readers know more than I do. Its true for all journalists. It's not scary, it's an opportunity."
Distributed research and fact checking by peers can be very valuable resources for your investment due diligence process. The best way to participate is to use the comments link that is associated with every article. Each comment builds to increase the site’s investable intelligence and its worth. Please tell us and the other users of this website what you think.
