Question by Cactus Jack: WHY did Al Gore invest millions in a company that manufactures snow blowers?


Yes folks, you heard it here FIRST! That 21st century prophet Albert Gore, the Messiah of “global warming”, secretly invested millions he made from his global warming hoax in a company that makes snow blowers! And if you have ever used a snow blower, you know they belch out a lot of pollution! So, after he convinced the gullible to unload their “useless” snow blowers due to catastrophic global warming, Big Al is cashing in AGAIN! A DOUBLE DIP! This guy is a genius! Can you say: “Cha-Ching!!”?

Oh yeah. Global Warming means that it’ll NEVER be cold again, not that storms will be more extreme. Well done, Skippy.

This is such a broad statement, it isn’t really worth answering.

All I can say is there is money to be made in the near future in the alternative energy industry. If you have a solid business plan and are a capable businessperson, you will be in for some good times.

Question by Hector Frodo: What company leads the nation in solar energy unit production?


Who stands to benefit the most if Obama wins and gives tax credits for purchasing solar energy products?

Best answer:

Answer by roderick_young
No disrespect, but the capless solar tax credit extension already passed as part of the bailout bill.

To me, the most compelling case for solar (both water heating and electricity) is on individual homes, as when that is done, it displaces retail energy. If one makes a giant solar power plant, the energy must be sold wholesale, and transmitted to another place.

So to have a solar boom, individual homeowners must be swayed. There is a large initial investment, so solar might not do very well in a down economy. People will be more worried about their next meal than energy efficiency. Also, the initial cost of a solar array is like a car. And if you look at the impact that tight credit has had on car sales, there is another potential problem.

But after all this, if you’re looking for long term investments, I think solar will do well. There are few barriers to entry on the installation business – I think it will be hundreds of small businesses that benefit, not one large one, any more than one company dominates roofing or electrical work nationally. AKNS is the one large installation company, but I personally would not invest in them, because of the lack of barriers to entry.

As far as photovoltaic panel makers, the largest ones are in Asia – Sharp, Kyocera, Suntech, Sanyo, Mitsubishi. There are also literally dozens of small fry, who will probably get killed or absorbed in the next year or two. In the USA, there’s First Solar (FSLR) of course, which I think is overvalued, Sunpower (SPWRA), same opinion, and other places like Energy Conversion Devices and Evergreen, that I don’t know much about.
