Dr. Robert Wilder, of the WilderHill Clean Energy Index, reports, "I'm
delighted our WilderHill Clean Energy Index (AMEX : ECO ) was first to
capture this new theme, and its tracking PowerShares ETF too was an
original investment product in this space. Having a lead of a few years
also let us help define what investing in clean energy should look like,
and in that time we've seen more than a billion dollars have come into that
independent tracking fund, PBW. On the other hand I am also gratified to
see so many new Indexes and trackers move into this space lately; a few are
pretty close replicas to ECO, while others add interesting new dynamics
such as an ability to invest in solar alone. In the meantime since 2004
we've also produced the first Index capturing opportunities found in a
response to climate change and for improving dominant energy sources: its
tracker is the PowerShares WilderHill Progressive Energy Portfolio (PUW).
And most recently partnering with New Energy Finance in London, and Josh
Landess in the U.S., we together co-produced the first Global Index for
stocks around the world in the clean & new energy space: a tracker for this
is the PowerShares Global Clean Energy Portfolio (PBD) and all three now
capture key stocks worldwide. I'm excited by the progress made here as well
as encouraged by the fact so many new Indexes have since entered this
space, which I think reflects this is no longer seen as a niche or
unimportant arena. Today, some of the world's biggest corporations are
taking clean, new and progressive energy technologies all very seriously,
and I believe 'alternative energy' may soon simply become just energy."
For investors following solar stocks in particular, The Claymore ETF (TAN)
tracks the MAC Global Solar Energy Index, and the Market Vectors ETF (KWT)
tracks the Ardour Solar Energy Index.
For investors tracking the global market, The RENIXX® (Renewable Energy
Industrial Index) World is the first global stock index, which comprises

industry whose weighting in the index is based on the market
capitalization.
