The Atomic Show #116 – John Rubino, Author of Clean Money and Greenstockinvesting.com

John Rubino and Rod Adams discuss Clean Energy: Picking Winners in the Green-Tech Boom

I recently received a review copy of John Rubino’s Clean Energy: Picking Winners in the Green-Tech Boom. I almost did not read the book after reading the first few pages where John disqualifies nuclear power as a green investment, but I decided it would be worthwhile to dig a little deeper.

Though I do not agree with everything in the book and I found a lot of nuggets that stimulated thought. I also found myself wishing that I had been able to read the book back in December of 2007 when I was smugly confident that I had picked a winning strategy since I did not have a dime invested in either real estate or financial stocks. If I had read John’s chapter about how the weakness in those sectors could spread through the economy, my portfolio would be in much better shape now than it is.

During our conversation, John had much more positive things to say about nuclear power than I expected.

I recommend that you add Greenstockinvesting.com to your investment reading list.
