The green business sector is being increasingly viewed on Wall Street as the Silicon Valley opportunity of the 21st Century. If we think back to the late 1900's we saw a lot of people become very rich in a fairly short period of time with high tech stocks. Think of Microsoft and Hewlett Packard and so on, and today it's the companies and green businesses that are inventing products that are cleaner. Whether its hydrogen fuel cells that will power our cars, solar panels that will power our electricity in our homes, and other things that make our use of energy more efficient, like a compact fluorescent light bulb instead of an incandescent light bulb. All of these green businesses are the high tech stocks of the 21st Century and Wall Street is beginning to discover that. Investors are flocking to these green businesses and actually getting very wealthy in the process.
