I have always preferred to own oil and gas companies over stocks related to alternative energy. Mostly because alternative energy companies are highly dependent on the federal government for subsides to run a profitable business. Now many solar companies are publicly traded and less dependent on the government. The best way to play the growth of solar energy is to own MEMC Electronics ( WFR ). They manufacture the polysilicon for solar panels.
My second alternative energy stock is NRG Energy ( NRG ). NRG develops and manages power plants. The US power grid will need to be update...

Exelon's deal for NRG gets nuclear
Filed under: Industry  The dealmaking is heating up in the nuclear sector. Today, Exelon Corp (NYSE: EXC) upped its hostile bid by 12% for NRG Energy (NYSE: NRG). This new price tag translates into a valuation of $7.45 billion.
The wrangling between the companies has gone on for roughly eight months. In fact, hostile deals can be time-consuming (in some cases, lasting a couple years). Something else: Exelon has indicated that this is the "best and final offer." Apparently, the company has realized new cost savings, which justifies the higher valuation. <>And, the merger would definitely result i...
