I’m feeling inspired now, and so I'm following up on my last few posts. Regardless of the skepticism of some of my friends I still think energy is headed towards free. According to Wired, it is the town of Rock Port, Missouri, “population 1,395 with a median income of $28,571, that are providing us with this glimpse into a piece of our renewable energy future.” Via wind turbines, they are producing more energy than what they consume. Again, the elimination of scarcity has to result in a virtual elimination of cost.
Another example is this team of volunteer engineers that created a low-cost wind turbine in Guatemala. Simply awesome.
Bottom line: I’d go long on wind energy; companies that produce turbines, parts for turbines, services for turbines, etc. And as soon as my year end bonus hits I may just do this.
