TONY
Hi Pon.
Is there a list of the major companies who produce the alternative fuels, biofuels, biomass, solar panels etc.? Like what you did for the REITS’ list. I am trying to do it now, but my head is starting to swoon from an overload of too much information. Thanks for any help you can offer.
Pon
No b/c, no analyst has put these together yet on the sell-side, why not? Too many, not enough liquidity.
Off the top my head you have…spcg, tse, solar, tpch, demco, sena, that have renewable related businesses.
