In recent years, there has been a tremendous amount of attention paid to all things "green." Reporters, politicians, and even investment advisors have pushed green issues to the forefront of the world's collective conscience. This overwhelming, and truly massive, shift is something every investor needs to understand--if they intend to excel in this arena.

The 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.

Written 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. Here, Smith skillfully covers the catalysts of this eco revolution--including world energy demand, CO2 emission concerns, and governmental mandates--and prepares you to profit from the changes that lie ahead.

After this important introduction, Smith moves on to explore the possibilities, pitfalls, potential, and key players in specific green sectors. 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.

Green thinking has quickly spread as multinational corporations adopt new, efficient production methods and governments mandate cleaner air and water. More importantly for you, the investor, there are real green companies making real profits in this new environment--and that means real opportunities to capture big returns. Filled with in-depth insights and expert advice, Billion Dollar Green is the perfect guide for your journey down the green path to gold.
