Green Oil Pros

Jason M asked:


I’m curious to hear what some of the financing & cultural challenges are to getting traditional energy companies to adopt green technologies? In particular, I know that many green energy sources require significant up-front investment today to capture the benefits of potentially grid-parity kwh production in the future.

How does financing work in the energy industry today around the world and is it possible that the way energy production is financed might hinder large investments?

Also, what some of the cultural challenges to green adoption? For example, are $/Watt and $/kwh even the right metrics to use when thinking about the economics of adopting green technologies?

I plan on investing some money for the long term(20+ yrs) and I’m eying energy based mutual funds. Could someone suggest a fund that looks steady and strong? Thanks.

Won’t those in old energy be losing theirs at the same time? It’s not like we need more energy, just a different kind right? Your thoughts?
