The crisis on Wall Street has effectively stopped funding for alternative energy projects.

But an even bigger problem has been the coming expiration of energy tax credits for the manufacturing, production and use of alternative energy systems and devices at the end of 2008. This situation has now changed with the $18 billion Renewable Energy and Job Creation Act of 2008.

David Fessler at Investment U says three alternative-energy ETFs should see “big moves” in the remainder of 2008 and in 2009 on the back of the bill.
