Renewable energy investment up stock prices down

Investments in renewable energy hit a record in 41.8 billion dollars in the third quarter of 2011.  Stock prices for renewable energy companies fell because of the over supply of renewable products such as solar cells and wind turbines.  It is a good time to be a renewable energy project developer and not a good time to be a manufacturer of the products.   Reporting on this is available from Bloomberg and MPR Marketplace.  Investments in off shore wind farms in Europe and on the East Coast of the US will be increasing in the next year.
