The global market for alternative energy soared to $1.35 trillion last year, and that's just the beginning of this explosive industry growth.
For savvy investors, right now is the perfect time to get in early on alternative energy investments as renewable energy begins overtaking the energy market.
You see, the need for energy is a constant across the globe. And demand for energy is only going up. In fact, the EIA forecasts the demand for energy worldwide will rise another 25% by 2040.
That sort of growth alone makes investing in energy a profitable strategy. But the source of the world's energy is rapidly changing.
The EIA forecasts clean energy investments like solar, wind, and hydro could pass coal and natural gas as the top source for electrical power in the United States by 2040.

Last year saw Walmart (WMT) and Alphabet/Google (GOOGL) each abandon their would-be Prime rivals. Just as AWS's dominant cloud infrastructure position (and profitability) may have motivated Amazon to start breaking out its AWS revenue back in 2015, Prime's dominance seems to have made Amazon more comfortable sharing stats about the service's size and reach.

Kroger's growth figures seem tame, but they indicate that Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) isn't quite crushing the chain with its Whole Foods acquisition yet, and that it's holding its ground against Walmart (NYSE:WMT) or Costco.

In 2017, Unilever has already completed a €5 billion share buyback programme.
Top Clean Energy Stocks To Own Right Now: Southwestern Energy Company(SWN)
Advisors' Opinion:- [By Dan Caplinger]
Wednesday was a relatively calm day on Wall Street until the last few minutes of the trading session, as major market benchmarks didn't initially respond in dramatic fashion to much-anticipated news on the interest rate front. As expected, monetary policy from the Federal Reserve remained consistent with the trajectory the central bank has followed for more than a year, and the target on short-term rates climbed by a quarter point to a new range of between 2% and 2.25%. That's good news for savers, but investors seemed to see mixed implications for companies in different sectors, and a late-day sell-off sent the Dow Jones Industrial Average down more than 100 points. Some stocks also responded negatively to more specific news affecting their businesses. Southwestern Energy (NYSE:SWN), Teva Pharmaceutical Industries (NYSE:TEVA), and Chegg (NYSE:CHGG) were among the worst performers on the day. Here's why they did so poorly.
