Early on at AEI, it was obvious that what people wanted to know was;

who are all the fully listed (i.e. not OTC) alternative energy companies which pursued alternative energy as a major part of their business, thus creating genuine alternative energy exposure for AE investors - globally?

So I do find it ridiculous of some alternative energy sites to list major vehicle producers as alternative companies, because a corner of the research division produces the odd fuel cell and flex-fuel / hybrid vehicle which makes up less than 1% of their total sales. Similarly, GE - an industrial collosus - is the world's second largest producer of wind turbines but this is a very low percentage of their overall sales. And there's no point in including Wacker Chemie AG in solar stocks, although a siginificant producer of polysilicon, when according to their annual report, Wacker polysilicon contributes just 5% of their sales and not of all of that is to the solar industry, but to the semiconductor industry.

Alternative Energy Investors are not interested in either bit-players or blue chip firms doing a cameo role.

So I wanted to let you know we have added some new stocks to our list and after careful analysis, excluded some other candidates that might have been included elsewhere.

Our new stocks - going up shortly - are;

Biodiesel
i) Biopetrol Industries
ii) EOP Biodiesel

Biogas
i) Schmack Biogas

Solar
i) Centrosolar
ii) Reinecke & Pohl Sun Energy
iii) Roth & Rau
iv) Sunline

Hydro

iii) Idacorp
iv) PG&E
v) Portland General
vi) Transcanada

Wind stocks;

Which brings our total to 141.
