The Clean Tech Revolution: Book Review at Social Funds

Social Funds – the largest personal finance site devoted to socially responsible investing – has a good book review of The Clean Tech Revolution: The Next Big Growth And Investment Opportunity. I haven’t gotten this read yet but it sounds like a fascinating look at sustainable technology.

Social Funds says the authors, Ron Pernick and Clint Wilder, have written “a comprehensive guide to investing in sustainable technology that covers four main sectors—energy, transportation, water, and materials—and lists specific firms that bear watching by investors.”

In The Clean Tech Revolution, wind and solar are high on the sectors to watch list – both fast growing industries that are becoming more cost-effective. The book covers other trends rising into the mainstream and the companies who are bringing them there. Biofuel gets a more hesitant enthusiasm because of the significant downsides associated with this energy source.

Sounds like a very interesting read for anyone with an eye on green technology. The Social Funds review is quite good available here.
