On Wednesday, a number of stories came out claiming that the new White House stance on emissions lifted renewable energy stocks.

What a crock!

If you believe that one, there's a shiny bridge here in Baltimore I'd like to sell you.

Joking aside, I do suspect a lot of investors did fall for it.

In fact, I received a number of e-mails from readers asking if they should load up the boat based on President Bush's call for greenhouse gas caps.

Folks, if there's ever a reason to invest in renewable energy, Bush's announcement is not it!

I'm not saying public announcements from Washington can't move these stocks. Remember the famous "addicted to oil" speech? We swam in some serious profits for months as that quote rippled across the media pond.

But this latest Rose Garden tea party speech delivered nothing more than the same old stall tactics and empty promises.

No matter how you slice it, this is just another attempt by the Bush administration to slow progress.

And that, my friends, does not add long-term value to renewable energy stocks.

Fortunately, the basic fundamentals of supply and demand do. And that's why we continue to make money in this sector.

Renewable Energy Stocks: From Problems to Profits

The great thing about investing in renewable energy is that the marketplace, not Washington, continues to dictate our success.

Certainly any positive renewable energy legislation does add support. Just look at California's Solar Roofs Bill that, once signed into law, pushed solar manufacturing and solar installation stocks through the roof.

No pun intended

But overall, it's the overwhelming value of the renewable energy industry that allows the market to enable its unprecedented growth.

And investors looking to profit from renewables must focus more on that, than hype from Washington.

In fact, if you dissect Bush's speech on Wednesday, you can clearly see that his intentions actually lack support for real climate change solutions, and of course, renewable energy.

· The President has called for reducing reliance on gasoline by developing hydrogen-fuel engines for cars. I guess he didn't get the memo that while they continue to pour billions into hydrogen research for a "solution" that will take additional billions to build an infrastructure, a REAL solution already exists. It's called the Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle. The infrastructure exists now. The vehicles exist now. The technology exists now!

· The President claimed that we must cooperate with other countries on climate change, yet decided against sending a participant to a major 60-country renewable energy meeting in Berlin last week. Talk is cheap, my friends. Especially when your silence is worth billions!

· The President spoke boldly about cutting emissions, yet his administration has pretty much put the kibosh on climate decisions made within the EPA. Conflict of interest? Not when Big Oil's paying the tab!

Still, the President claims that his proposal is a realistic intermediate goal.

What that is, however, no one seems to know.

Meanwhile, the Big Oil machine that got him, and kept him employed for the past 7 ½ years (using the taxpayers as their patsies), continues to get all those wonderful tax breaks.

But if you're ok with this level of complacency—don't get too comfortable.

The Future Of Renewable Energy  

The overall global consensus is that once the Bush administration is gone, the U.S. will finally move forward on REAL climate change solutions and REAL renewable energy integration.

John McCain, Hilary Clinton and Barak Obama all have expressed an interest in moving the U.S. from "problem" status to "solution" status when it comes to this stuff.

Here's why...

· In a 2007 U.S. survey conducted by CNN, 66% of the respondents said that they believe the U.S. should do what it can to reduce global warming, even if other nations ignore it.

· A 2007 poll conducted by the New York Times and CBS News found that 90% of Democrats, 80% of independents and 60% of Republicans believe that immediate action was required to curb the warming of the atmosphere and deal with its effects on the global climate. Respondents also expressed little confidence in President Bush's handling of environmental or energy issues.

· According to a 2007 national survey conducted by Yale University and Gallup, "a growing number of Americans consider global warming an important threat that calls for drastic actions, and 40% say that a presidential candidate's position on the issue will strongly influence how they vote."

Whether they personally believe in renewable energy or not, they want the job...and they want to keep the job. So they'll deliver.

It's going to happen.

And that's why we continue to invest in, and profit from renewable energy stocks.

Because once the old guard is out, you're going to see renewable energy stocks soar even higher than they've already soared with the Bush administration setting up road blocks every step of the way.

The key to making money, however—is getting in now, and riding the momentum to the top.

And anyone who doesn't believe this is going to miss out on the greatest investment opportunity of the 21^st Century.

Mark my words!

To a new way of life, and a new generation of wealth...
