This overwhelming, and truly massive, shift is something every investor needs to understand—if they intend to excel in this arena.  \u003cp\u003eThe greening of our world is perhaps the greatest wealth-building opportunity of the twenty-first century. It's opened up profitable new doors when it comes to investing in clean tech, alternative energy, and green-related companies. Nobody is more familiar with this situation than author Tobin Smith—founder of the global investment research company ChangeWave Research. Over the course of his successful career, Smith has been the driving force behind his company's accurate identification of major transformational shifts—from the rise of the Internet to the growth of alternative energy technology—and now, with Billion Dollar Green, he shares his extensive insights to help you find the best green investing opportunities available.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten in a straightforward and accessible style, this reliable resource opens with a detailed discussion of why the green movement has grown so strong in recent years, and how it will likely continue to grow for the next decade and beyond.

You'll gain a firm understanding of promising areas within this field—from solar, wind, and biofuels to power grid infrastructure, solid-state lighting, and energy storage—and discover the core companies supplying goods needed to make the world's green dreams a reality. Smith then ties things together by showing you what it takes to build a powerful portfolio of green stocks.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGreen thinking has quickly spread as multinational corporations adopt new, efficient production methods and governments mandate cleaner air and water.
