Here is a post I found useful in the battery technology field:  http://seekingalpha.com/article/84807-advanced-battery-technologies-a-steal-of-a-stock?source=mb
I made one of the comments at the end and used it to suggest also considering CBAK.
 
In solar technology, I like LDK and TSL on a valuation basis.  The most promising breakthrough technology companies are ESLR and FSLR, but they are seriously over valued at current prices.  If they ever fall over a cliff I&#039;ll look at them again.
 
The only wind stock I currently own is VWDRY.  I also own GE which may be a big player in the turbine field, but it will never be a major part of their business.
 
There are a number of ETFs for alternative energy.  I currently own PBW, KWT and TAN.  There are several others.  
 
Investing in the electrification of our energy supply is going to be a tricky business because there are so many participating companies that picking the few that will be the Microsoft, Intel and Oracle of energy will be very difficult.  Constant study and a lot of luck will be the factors that determine who the richest investors will be.
 
If we go through a pull back in the price of oil over the coming months (or even next couple of years) there may be much better prices on many of the alternative energy stocks ahead.  If we don&#039;t see oil prices come down significantly, the pull back buying opportunities will be fewer.
 
I don&#039;t have any magic bullets for investing in the energy revolution.  I&#039;m just convinced that if I can find one or two of the key investments I&#039;ll do very well.  I just have to spend a lot of time researching what&#039;s going on and looking for promising companies.  In some respects, I feel almost like a gold prospector looking for a couple of big nuggets.  In that respect, I have to pan a lot of gravel to have any hope of finding the nuggets.</description>

		<description>Hi,

I saw your post on http://seekingalpha.com/article/85669-historic-financial-collapse-underway?source=d_email

I agree with you, and would like to know more about the 2 emerging industries you spoke of. That is what I am looking to do, find the next google with a new emerging company.
I find it hard to find which company will be the long term leader, and if you could offer some advice, I would appreciate it.
Thanks in advance, Larry</description>
