5 Best Diversified Bank Stocks To Invest In Right Now

The prospect of a greener and more sustainable energy industry has been the dream of many a modern energy executive, including your correspondent, who has spent more than a decade analyzing green energy policies, business and development initiatives for investors, energy utilities and consulting clients.

Today, much like 10 years ago, there is a lot of talk about utility disruption and green revolutions, and it might be easy for investors to get caught up in the hyperbole, the sky-high stock valuations, and the heady promise of an investment that can possibly save the world.

It is my hope, with this column, to help investors keep their heads and their wallets when evaluating such investments, by advocating a no-nonsense, analytical investment approach that demands results.

This would seem intuitive, but too often investors have been swayed by the story to only find that a company’s prospects were pure fiction, time and time again. I’m also concerned that even as there are some promising new energy tech companies, there are also a lot of firms that offer more risk than reward. And the so-called forecast of the demise of the utilities industry has been overdone.
