Happy Tax day-if you had to pay tax today, congrats since many did not due to losses in their businesses in 2010.
Let’s hope calendar 2011 is better for us all and we all need to pay some tax in April 2012 as a result
We continue to be in the + for the year. If you wish to do more research here’s a list of the largest wind power producers in the world courtesy of Yahoo Finance:
Ten large global wind power companies are listed below:
1. Company: Vestas (VWDRY.PK)
Country: Denmark
Current Stock Price: $12.93
2. Company: GE Energy (GE)
Country: USA
Current Stock Price: $20.19
3. Company:Gamesa (GCTAF.PK)
Country: Spain
Current Stock Price: $2.10
4. Company: Enercon
Country: Germany
Current Stock Price: N/A
5. Company: Suzlon
Country: India
Current Stock Price: N/A
6. Company: Siemens (SI)
Country: Germany
Current Stock Price: $138.50
7. Company:Acciona
Country: Spain
Current Stock Price: N/A
8. Company: Goldwind
Country: China
Current Stock Price: N/A
9. Company: Nordex (NRDXF.PK)
Country: Germany
Current Stock Price: $11.65
10. Company: Sinovel
Country: China
Current Stock Price: N/A
We are conflicted on whether or not to add GE and Siemens to our Green Investments portfolio. Both are large industrial concerns who employ many and do make some solid green products such as wind turbines but they are also gigantic polluters and release a lot of green house emmissions.
So they are both the angel and the devil all in one. Guess is better to have some angel in you.
