When oil was trading at $147, investors suddenly became overly optimistic, which I call investment euphoria . For example, A-Power Energy (APWR) was once trading at $32, yet the compan... http://www.greenedia.com/sectors/directory/energy-stock-blog/149541?rsstype=tag&tag=solar-energy Fri, 14 Nov 2008 05:52:45 -0500 http://www.greenedia.com/sectors/directory/triple-pundit/149376?rsstype=tag&tag=solar-energy As renewable energy, particularly concentrated and other solar power project developers are flocking to remote parts of the southwest, the Dept. of Energy's National Renewable Energy Lab and Spain's Iberdrola Renewables are building a network of s... http://www.greenedia.com/sectors/directory/triple-pundit/149376?rsstype=tag&tag=solar-energy Thu, 13 Nov 2008 15:17:53 -0500 http://www.greenedia.com/sectors/directory/nei-nuclear-notes/148922?rsstype=tag&tag=solar-energy That's according to Black & Veatch's latest annual survey to electric utilities (pdf).
