Bill Paul's "5 Rules of Effective Alternative Energy Investing"
As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I’m electrified by Bill Paul – by his energy level, by his passion for New Energy, and by his love of great writing. I guess that’s what 20 years as a staff writer in energy at the Wall Street Journal will do for you — I’m sure there’s always an editor who wants your stuff a little “tighter and brighter.”
In any case, I’ll never forget our first meeting, over lunch at the Newark NJ Amtrak station. I was so engaged at this man’s insights into the multi-trillion dollar world of clean energy that I could hardly eat. “Northern Africa will soon be an enormous opportunity for the few people who are really paying attention to all this. Do you know what’s happening in the stock markets in Algiers and Tripoli?” he asked. “No, not precisely,” I admitted. “To be honest, I thought the only markets in places like that were open-air — filled with rugs and chickens.”
Kidding aside, we’re quite proud to have Bill here at 2GreenEnergy. Anyone who wants a taste of his insights should download his free report: 5 Rules of Effective Alternative Energy Investing.
Mr. Paul sounds very informed but there could be some missing pieces to alternative energy. My Number 1 is critical; as long as alternative energy is more expensive, why will people want it? Number 2, the UN Climate Change committee predicted things that should already be happening, they aren’t. Number 3 is where there is too much politics involved and not enough objective facts, the conclusions will be wrong. Number 4 is who is going to pay for all of this premium priced alternative energy? Governments and their tax paying people can not afford all of this. Number 5 is politicans do not have the intelligence to solve these environmental issues and still get re-elected, so they will not solve them.
Speaking on behalf of Bill Paul (as it’s already after 11 PM his time), he’s not a political philosopher; he’s a financial advisor. I.e., he can’t tell you what should happen, but rather to tell you what very likely will happen — and what that means to investors in the space.
My point of view is from the other direction as I am seeking investors to buy stock in my Corporation, We are seeking a total of $200,000 to start and run a Vocational training center for EV technicians, see my web site at:
e-v-t-i-inc.com a lot of individuals are contacting me from the local area, Florida, as well as Texas, California, Saskatchewan (Canada), The Philippines, and Latvia (EU). Why are they calling me? Because there no alternatives available. We want to be the first, and franchising will spread our successful methods worldwide. but first we need to start-up so view the web page then ask for the business plan, and write me a check and there is a lot of money to be made for whatever investment you will be comfortable with from $5,000 to $200,000 and as soon as enough is raised we will punch the “Go Pedal.” We are doing what most GREEN Corps. don’t do, provide the EV techs who will service and repair to help Electric Vehicles save the world.
The formerly ‘hidden’ cost of oil has recently come into much clearer view, in light of the BP Oil rig disaster. The billions it will take to make things right (if they ever will be again) could have been invested in promising alternatives to reduce our reliance on this highly polluting source and to reduce the unit purchase price for many more consumers.
Had the US Congress been taxing big oil like it should have been all these years, I imagine we’d be noticeably farther along the alternative path, and breakthroughs to reduce consumer purchase prices would exist today.
I, for one, don’t need the UN Climate Change Committee predictions to come true (however accurate they are) to believe oil and coal pollute.
And, I’m on the same side you are when it comes to politics and today’s politicians. There are smart and courageous things they could do to move us along faster, but my impression is that we have a real lack of intelligence, courage and integrity among too many of our lawmakers.
Investing in alternative/ renewable energy takes considerable amount and I mean in study and money. But nonetheless, I think it is great!
