“Fossil fuels are out, alternative energy is in and dozens of companies are likely to benefit from the transition.  Investors can use one security to capture these imminent gains. Leaders of 192 countries are meeting at the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen to iron out accords that will likely result in huge gains for a number of alternative-energy companies. One exchange-traded fund is poised to benefit from a surge in new business for them,” Francisco Bermea Reports From Street Authority.

“Most electricity is generated by burning coal or natural gas, though many governments are moving to embrace “cleaner” technologies that emit less carbon-dioxide, a compound thought to trap heat in earth’s atmosphere and contribute to a phenomenon known as global warming,” Bermea Reports.

“Hundreds of billions of dollars worth of existing fossil-fuel fired power plants notwithstanding, governments are increasingly more interested in promoting “renewable” energy sources like wind and solar power. These technologies not only reduce emissions, they also start to wean the world from scarce fossil-fuel-based sources. China, for example, has mandated that 15% of its energy come from renewable sources by 2020. Solar and wind energy companies should see a huge boost from this mandate. China plans to increase wind energy by +720% from 12.2 gigawatts to 100 gigawatts by 2010,” Bermea Reports.
