  • Catch the Wind - Green Investor at Investorideas.com, http://www.investorideas.com/gi/ By Paulo Nery - Wind is looking like one the great opportunities for this year.

Pickens views wind as part of a solution to our rapidly increasing expenditure on foreign oil. Currently $700 Billion is going offshore each year to pay for imported oil. - click here
