The future of wind power

Although not quite as macabre, I do see a similar situation in the way most of us played the market this year. Our options were to “safely” stay on the sidelines, not making a dime; or to study the unreliable ebbs and flows of a very confused market and attempt a profit.

As CEO’s do best, Richard Thompson tried to put a positive spin on the resutls.& 160; ‘Power-One gained significant customer wins in the third quarter, as we expanded revenue in high growth solar markets, such as India and other regions in Asia.& 160; Despite difficult global macroeconomic conditions that impacted both SBUs, we generated $59 million of operating cash flow and ended the quarter with $183 million of cash and cash equivalents.’& 160; Traders aren’t buying it with the stock down more than 7% in early trading.& 160; Technically, this is a stock that remains in a firm downtrend and should continue to be avoided.

5) Siemens The largest Green Company in the world,Siemens has a strong presence in the Wind Turbine Segment.The company is strong in Europe and is now expanding to emerging markets like Asia.Given its huge technological strengths in electrical equipment,power transmission and large project construction,Siemens is looking for a dominant role in the growing offshore wind market as well.

Tower Tech Holdings Inc. (TWRT.OB), is involved in the engineering, manufacture, and sale of wind turbine extension towers to the wind energy industry. Its earnings have been negative, and it has a P/S ratio of 35.5.

Wind is free, it& 39;s renewable and it& 39;s clean (unless you live in LA or Denver of course). In 2005, wind energy in the US produced 17.8 billion kWh per year or enough to power the city of Chicago. Unlike oil which continues to go up in price, advances in the turbine technology continue to reduce the per kWh cost of electricity produced by wind increasing its competitiveness. Wind is rapidly growing in favor and wind energy related stocks represent a great opportunity for astute, forward thinking investors. This page is dedicated to wind energy related companies.

Total installed wind capacity increased from 406 MW in 2001 to 25,853 MW in 2009, which works out to a compounded growth rate of 68.1%! China is now the largest producer of installed wind power capacity in the world as of 2010.

Wyoming is pretty darn windy, but so are the Mongolian steppes and the sub-tropical coastline of southern China. And where there is wind, there is an opportunity to produce wind-generated electricity.

As a nation, the United States has made much progress recently in developing its wind resources. However, advancements in wind technologies and the projected increasing demand for electricity will provide significant opportunities to further develop this domestic renewable resource. Actions toward this goal, offer residents and businesses in the rural and urban United States potential for economic development opportunities and potential for employment.

Wind Power Stocks To Watch

More Than Just a BreezeA recent paper published in the science journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) estimates the total global wind energy potential at 2,470 exajoules (EJ) or about 40 times current worldwide consumption of electricity. The U.S. Energy Information Administration predicts that worldwide demand for non-fossil fuel sources, such as solar and wind, will increase 22% over the next five years and 85% over the next 25. The global wind industry is bent on making those targets and saw a major revival in new capacity during 2011. More than 18.4 gigawatts (GW) worth of new capacity has been installed globally in the first half of 2011, and 25.5 GW is expected to be added in the second half of the year. So far, global wind capacity grew by 9.3% in 2011.

Parts for Complex MachinesIn addition, many of the companies that provide parts for these complex machines are trading for bargain levels. Carbon fiber is used in turbine blades to reduce weight and allow the blades to spin faster. Fiber producer Zoltek (Nasdaq:ZOLT) recently won a $3.7 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for advanced carbon fiber research, while Hexcel (NYSE:HXL) continues to expand its presence in emerging markets.
