In an article over at Kiplingers, Laura Cohn discusses some renewable energy plays that could begin running again due to Obama’s clean energy policies, which include deriving 10% of electricity from renewable energy sources within just the next few years.

– Vestas Wind Systems (VWSYF.PK) 
   The Danish company trades on the pink sheets and is the world’s leading supplier of wind turbines with a market share of 23%

– First Solar (FSLR)
  Has emerged as one of the top solar companies with the lowest manufacturing costs in the industry.  John Walton (of Walmart fame) is a founding investor and still owns a large portion of the company.  

For those looking for more diversification within the clean energy industry..
