From the Inside Flap
In recent years, there has been a tremendous amount of attention paid to all things "green." Reporters, politicians, and even investment advisors have pushed green issues to the forefront of the world's collective conscience. This overwhelming, and truly massive, shift is something every investor needs to understand—if they intend to excel in this arena.
The greening of our world is perhaps the greatest wealth-building opportunity of the twenty-first century. It's opened up profitable new doors when it comes to investing in clean tech, alternative energy, and green-related companies. Nobody is more familiar with this situation than author Tobin Smith—founder of the global investment research company ChangeWave Research. Over the course of his successful career, Smith has been the driving force behind his company's accurate identification of major transformational shifts—from the rise of the Internet to the growth of alternative energy technology—and now, with Billion Dollar Green, he shares his extensive insights to help you find the best green investing opportunities available.
Written in a straightforward and accessible style, this reliable resource opens with a detailed discussion of why the green movement has grown so strong in recent years, and how it will likely continue to grow for the next decade and beyond. Here, Smith skillfully covers the catalysts of this eco revolution—including world energy demand, CO2 emission concerns, and governmental mandates—and prepares you to profit from the changes that lie ahead.
After this important introduction, Smith moves on to explore the possibilities, pitfalls, potential, and key players in specific green sectors. You'll gain a firm understanding of promising areas within this field—from solar, wind, and biofuels to power grid infrastructure, solid-state lighting, and energy storage—and discover the core companies supplying goods needed to make the world's green dreams a reality. Smith then ties things together by showing you what it takes to build a powerful portfolio of green stocks.
Green thinking has quickly spread as multinational corporations adopt new, efficient production methods and governments mandate cleaner air and water. More importantly for you, the investor, there are real green companies making real profits in this new environment—and that means real opportunities to capture big returns. Filled with in-depth insights and expert advice, Billion Dollar Green is the perfect guide for your journey down the green path to gold.

Green, but not Green,
This review is from: Billion Dollar Green: Profit from the Eco Revolution (Hardcover)
Investment guru Tobin Smith, as seen on Fox News, claims two goals for his book: (1) to help us "understand why the green wave has grown so strong, and (2) why it will likely continue to growing relentlessly." Unfortunately, by the time the book was published in December 2008, that wave had crashed on the beach. Maybe "relentlessly" was a big too strong.
One big reason Smith missed this call is that he missed the call on oil. "Today that $60 oil is a fond memory. ... I am of the opinion now that ... we will never see that level of cost for petroleum again." "Oil has blown past the $100-a-barrel mark. ... Oil prices are not likely to go significantly lower any time soon." All that must have been written a month or two before oil prices began to crash. If you want to read that a book that really explains peak oil, oil markets, and what to do about them (this is energy policy not investing) try Carbonomics: How to Fix the Climate and Charge It to OPEC. Written at the same time, this author takes it for granted oil prices would collapse, and actually proposes a policy to keep this from hurting green investment. The first two chapters cover his two goals in general terms. Oil's getting more expensive (generally), and green tech is getting cheaper. Then chapters 3 - 13 each covers a specific area of green investing: (3) transportation, (4) solar, (5) water, (6) electric grid, (7) computers, (8) plastics, (9) biofuels, (10) fuel-cells and advance batteries, (11) wind, (12) clean coal, (13) buildings, natural foods etc. There's very little depth here, but Smith does give you the general lay of the land, and lists the major stocks in the area, like GM in transportation - well their thinking about it. Finally we have chapter 14, "Caution: Green Portfolio Construction Ahead" which explains in the broadest generalities, and for all of one (1) page, how to do green investing. Then he mentions what may be the real purpose of the book: "these are some of the basic rules I recommend in my ChangeWave Investing advisory service." Ahh, and infomercial. Now if you're not into green investing just to make money, or even if you are, I'd try Green Investing: A Guide to Making Money through Environment Friendly Stocks, or Investing in a Sustainable World: Why GREEN Is the New Color of Money on Wall Street.
