Humanikind,
Here are some long-term investment ideas to consider for 2008. As a Canadian, 2 well-run firms worth considering are Tim Hortons ( THI quote from Morningstar) and TD Bank (TD Quote from Marketwatch.com. I have no idea what will happen to the two stocks over the next year, but if you invest in companies like these two, over the long term you will likely have increased dividends plus capital gains.
Alternative energy investing in renewable power technology companies is more high risk, especially now that some players are into early bubble territory. What will happen to the sector if oil falls to $70, 60, 50 40 ... ? That could create a short-term selling panic in clean energy stocks, and a subsequent buying opportunity, but the opposite may occur if oil rises to $110 or $120 or more.
Here are some companies worth investigating further:
Vestas Wind (VWS / VWSYF) is the No. 1 producer of modern clean energy; with a 28 per cent market share, and 33,500 wind turbines installed.
Hy-Drive Technologies Ltd. (HGS) is a hydrogen-based energy and power technology firm that has developed a patented Hydrogen Generating System (HGS). The HGS generates, on-demand, and injects small amounts of hydrogen gas into the combustion chamber of a regular internal combustion engine creating an enriched air mixture and a more complete and faster burn of the air-fuel mixture. The result is reduced emissions and improved fuel efficiency and torque.
The initial application of Hy-Drive’s technologies is its proprietary "on-board" hydrogen and oxygen gas generation and injection system for internal combustion engines, the "Hydrogen Generating System" or "HGS". The initial target markets for Hy-Drive are the existing commercial diesel-powered trucks and buses in the "after-market".
Suzlon Energy SUZL The world of wind power is growing at a phenomenal pace. Projections put the average growth of the industry at over 25% for the next five years. Suzlon is at the leading edge of this growth.
Xantrex Technology Inc (TSX.V: XTX) is a world leader in the development, manufacturing and marketing of advanced power electronic products and systems for the distributed, mobile and programmable power markets.
Capstone Turbine Corp. (NASDAQ: CPST) Capstone Turbine Corporation is the world's leading producer of low-emission microturbine systems.

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.

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.)
