I think Kramer was right when he said that although there is a lot of potential in alternative energy, it's just too damn hard to make money on it now.
I should have gone "Underperform" on this one, but I actually own it in real life :(.

Global demand for energy continues to grow. Conventional energies cannot possibly keep up with the demand, pushing prices up. This will make alternative energies more competitive. The growth in the global energy production pie will mostly be from alternative sources.

Green energy won't show its true potential until oil is sky high again.

Clean technology is going to be heavily invested on around the world in the 21st century.
Also, PBD has advantages over PBW because it is a global fund (vs. a US fund); this increases the available equities for investment and helps to hedge against a drop in the value of the US dollar.

Obviously Global Clean Energy is a great play over the next decade. It has also held up under the current economic crisis fairly well. Put the money in and ride it long.

Clean energy should be here to stay
Even if the price of conventional energy retreats for a while, clean energy is something to look for the future

As clean energy ETF's go, this is currently my favourite. Better than PBW because it has global exposure. A lot of strong renewables companies are international, especially european. And because it is global it gives better protection against US recession or US dollar depreciation. I also like it better than GEX because it has more diversification, and is less heavy on the glam-stocks, such as FSLR and Vestas. These are good companies, but the stock prices are way high - I'd rather not have them making up as much as 10% of the ETF. PBD has a range of renewable technologies (less weighted to solar), and also has some interesting demand management companies such as ELON or COMV - companies that I am interested in, but am not confident of picking winners.

So many small "alternative energy" stocks to choose from, along with behemoths that have small units devoted to the area, many of which will be long-term losers. So I like ETFs in this space, especially the more diversified ones. PBD, in particular, appeals because it has a less-concentrated portfolio that PBW or GEX, and has more International exposure. With high oil prices here to stay, constant talk of global warming and carbon emissions, large government subsidization of alternative fuel sources, and everyone looking for long-term answers, I think continued exponential growth of solar, wind, battery technology, etc, is a no brainer for the next 5-10 years. The volatility will be extreme (as the past 18 months have shown), but the leaps will likely be higher than the drops.
