CAUTION: Investing in common stocks of publicly-listed companies is a high risk (and high potential reward) activity. Owning investments in individual renewable energy technology companies is for high risk investors only, and medium risk investors should consider green mutual funds, closed-end clean energy funds, alternative energy index funds and other clean energy sector investments. Even then, these funds should be owned as part of a widely diversified portfolio, and always be considered as longer term investments.

Alternative energy stocks and other renewable power investments are a core component of ethical investing portfolios.

Hilary Clinton proposes $50 billion renewable power fund as job creation plan

Clinton: Alternative energy investment would create jobs

Boone, Ia. - Creating a $50 billion Strategic Energy Fund would help create millions of new jobs and help rebuild the prosperity of the 1990s throughout America, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said Monday during a six-city bus tour through Iowa.

"Unless we make some changes, we are in danger of eroding that American dream," she told a crowd of about 475 in a packed banquet room at the Gigglin' Goat Restaurant in Boone. "Remember six years ago? My husband left a balanced budget and a surplus."

Clinton, who is doing a two-day tour in a bus dubbed the "Middle Class Express," pitched ideas for "rebuilding the road to the middle class."

That includes bolstering retirement security by promoting savings and investment, moving toward balanced budgets, and helping Americans afford health care and college, she said.

Under her Strategic Energy Fund plan, oil companies could choose to invest in alternative energy, or pay a portion of their earnings into the government fund, she said. The fund would pay for tax incentives for homeowners and businesses that make their houses and offices more energy efficient. Investment in alternative energy will help create new, well-paying jobs in the United States, she said.

Clinton rattled off a list of economic troubles. Income gains generally went to the wealthiest 10 percent of households in 2005, while the other 90 percent generally saw their incomes decrease. College costs have gone up 40 percent, and gas prices and health care premiums have doubled. Tax cuts for the rich and a war that costs about $300 million a day have contributed to a national debt of more than $9 trillion.

"If anybody tells you the Republicans are the party of fiscal responsibility, just roll your eyes," Clinton told a crowd of more than 500 at Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Cedar Rapids.

To deal with problems in the housing market with families facing foreclosure, unscrupulous brokers and mortgage lending abuses, Clinton said she has three new plans. One program would help families refinance "unworkable" mortgages. Another would ensure that credit-worthy borrowers have access to mortgage loans. And another would crack down on con artists who charge hefty fees for false promises to help people avoid losing their homes.

"Most of it's pretty easy to agree with," said Gary Stourac, a 46-year-old postmaster from Williamsburg who said he's "usually" a Democrat. "I was glad that she was relatively specific on policy instead of just rah-rah."

Clinton tailored her Cedar Rapids remarks to appeal to labor unions. Earlier in the day, she shook hands with striking workers at the Cargill corn starch plant in Cedar Rapids. For the crowd of about 1,000 in Ames, Clinton switched back to her regular stump speech, but emphasized peace, ending President Bush's "war" on science and innovation, and "reclaiming the future for our children."

By the end of the day, about 3,000 people had turned out to hear Clinton. Today, Clinton visits Webster City and Dakota City.

WARNING: Investing in common equity of public companies is a high risk, high potential reward activity. Owning investments in individual alternative energy companies is for high risk investors only, and medium risk investors should consider green mutual funds, clean energy funds, renewable power index funds and other sector plays. Even then, these should be owned as part of a widely diversified portfolio. There is a gathering mania for investing in publicly-traded alternative energy companies, similar to the computer, technology, internet and banking / real estate booms of the past two decades. There will be some nasty corrections along the way, and some years from now when they come crashing down en masse, the world will still benefit from all the amazingly advanced clean and efficient energy technology created during the bull run. (Above note re-written March 2009 as my earlier prediction of a market top and a crash in the sector starting in August '09 was hastened by the credit markets collapse and began in August 2008, before the bubble had fully formed. Of all the sectors in the equity markets, clean energy has the best prospects to assume market leadership and public favour; we are bouncing aong the bottom still, and those who have followed our guidance to begin including (in a judiciously blended portfolio of cash, bonds, stocks and yes, um... real estate) green energy investment funds dollar-cost-averaging programs in Winter and Spring of 2009 are well positioned for longterm capital growth.)
