Investing in energy is not a new concept. In fact, it is as old as energy itself. There will always be demand for energy. However, in the past the main form of energy was fossil fuels, this is where the profitable investments were found. In recent years, alternative forms of energy have emerged. This has been in an effort to drastically reduce if not ever do away with fossil fuels. Scientists believe they have a very negative impact on the environment, and it is considered very prudent to search for alternative. These alternatives have to be created and the reviewed before they can be used and this is very expensive.
Investors make the research needed to find usable alternative forms of energy a very real possibility. With funding from investors, research can continue on already know alternative sources of energy to make them more broadly available to the public. The problem is that many of them are too expensive to be practically used in everyday life. However, there are some forms of renewable energy that are commonly used in certain areas of the country already, and these are consistently being improved upon. These alternative sources include wind, water, and solar power.
Driving through the plains in the United States there are miles and miles of giant windmills that can be seen. These are generating electricity for nearby power plants. Wind power is an excellent renewable energy source. The problem is it is only reliable in areas where the wind blows enough and makes enough contact with the mills to generate a consistent supply of energy. A similar issue is had with solar power. Although expensive to install, solar panels can power a home using only the sun's energy. They can store enough energy for a little while, but in the case of extended periods of cloudy weather, there has to be a traditional energy source as back up. When it comes to water energy, locations near waterfalls are all fine, but if there is no water source nearby, then there can be no water energy.
Many investors today still invest in fossil fuels because they are still the most commonly used. This makes them currently the most profitable. However, society has come to realize the need for alternative forms of energy, meaning that fossil fuels may be on their way out. Therefore, the environment prudent investor may benefit more financially in the long term.
