In a recent article in the Chicago Tribune, it was mentioned how Hurricane Katrina has indirectly driven up interest in alternative energy stocks. Perhaps not least because oil over $60 looks destined to stay with us for some time. And it's at these prices that renewable energy products are "financially competitive" - according to Walter Nasdeo at Ardour Capital Investments.

London's Stock Exchange recently announced a Capital Markets Day for the Renewable Sector set for October 13th.

Those companies in the sector - listed or planning to do so- will have the opportunity to meet a number of small-cap funds who want to know more about them.
