The green revolution has fueled a strong interest in investment opportunities in a variety of areas, particularly in renewable energy. A number of books offer insights and information about the expanding green investment area. Here are a few:

• “Investing in a Sustainable World: Why Green Is the New Color of Money on Wall Street” by Matthew J. Kiernan; Amacom, 2008 ($27.95). Explores the green investing trend.

• “Investing in Renewable Energy: Making Money on Green Chip Stocks” by Jeff Siegel; Wiley, 2008 ($27.95). Focuses on investment opportunities and profiting in renewable-energy stocks.

• “Billion Dollar Green: Profits from the Eco Revolution” by Tobin Smith; Wiley, 2008 ($27.95). Overview of green-investing strategies and market opportunities.

• “Green Investing: A Guide to Making Money Through Environment-Friendly Stocks” by Jack Uldrich; Adams Media, 2008 ($14.95). Identifies green stocks and green companies in a range of renewable-energy fields.

I will try and check out some of these books. Need to go sign up for the local library or head to the book store.
