In the waning days of the Great Depression, FDR Signed the Rural Electrification Act of 1936 into law, heralding a new era of growth and prosperity for the nation’s heartland. While electricity was generally available in cities and towns, it was nearly unheard of on farms, ranches and other rural areas. The REA brought electric power to these sparsely populated Midwest farms and ranches. Today the shoe is on the other foot, so to speak.

The British government gave a huge boost to wind energy stocks this week, opening bidding for offers to build up to 25 gigawatts of offshore wind turbines by 2020 — triple the amount previously planned.
The European Union has set a target date of 2020 for 20% of its energy to come from renewable sources. The British Wind Energy Association said Britain will contribute 15%, meaning up to 40% of the country’s power will come from wind energy by the target date.
“The richest investment opportunities can be found in the fast-emerging alternative energy sector,” says Mike Burnick in The Offshore A-Letter.

T Boone Pickens’ recent oil price forecast — he sent oil surging last month with a forecast of oil at $150 a barrel by the end of this year — may not have come true yet, but that diminished the legendary oilman’s status as oil oracle among investors.
When he’s not making oil price forecasts, Pickens is busy investing in energy. He recently announced that his investment vehicle Mesa Power was putting $2 billion into a Texas wind-energy project, boosting clean energy stocks in the process and delighting the wind-energy lobby.
