Investing in Renewable Energy: Making Money on Green Chip Stocks Hardcover – October 6, 2008

good insight into energy

Most interesting to see what the world looked like in 2008 before the rise of Tesla and other big developments in renewables.

This book offers more than just opinions about renewable energy. It contains a lot of research on what has happened already, and some insight as to what may lie ahead. Not only does the book explain the major sources of renewable energy, it also details who the players are (both the companies and the countries) that are involved in pushing these ideas forward. The books aim of course is to show an individual how and where to invest to capitalize in the next age of energy, and I believe it delivers.

Studying this book made me more aware of the pitfalls on alternative energy development. I avoided some losing investments with this book.

I came across this book in a local book store recently, 2016. It is 8 years after it was published so I have the benefit of 20/20 hindsight.The projections made on various trends of energy were all off. The claim of peak oil is wrong due to recent advances in fracking.The growth of renewable energy sources were too optimistic. Sorry, this book is a bust.

This book provides the excellent background knowledge for investing in renewable energy and also provides the reference and even involved companies. But the major draw back is missing financial analysis of involved companies. So overall it is rather a 101 book. You must do further research by yourself to make money in renewable energy area though it's hot.
