Time to invest in Alternative Energy?

With prices at the gas pump leaving us broke, isn't it time to start investing in alternative renewable fuels instead? A new report by E-Magazine shows that stock in companies like Ballard(BLDP) and FuelCell Energy(FCEL) are at bargain prices while CleanEdge.com estimates that "Solar Photovoltaics, Wind Energy, and Fuel Cells [will] Exceed $100 Billion Market by 2014".

Also, GM and Shell partnered up to solve the catch-22 issue that plagued the creation of a Fuel Cell economy... you know the one where the gas companies wouldn't make the Hydrogen pumps if there weren't any cars and that the car companies wouldn't produce the vehicles because the hydrogen pumps didn't exist? Yeah, THAT catch-22 situation. GM and Shell are getting in bed to jump-start the revolution.

Chicotown.com isn't a financial advice website but we do suggest you study all of the links we've posted here for yourself, this smells like a great investment opportunity that not only helps our society move forward but may actually put some change in your pockets. Maybe by the time $3.00 a gallon for gas sticks you where it hurts you'll consider it...

(Note: if you get mega rich cuz you read this post, how about sending us some unmarked bags of money? We're good for it!)
