Carolyn,

Yes, I'm working on a number of unique alternative energy projects at this time, (both an Alternate Energy Fund with seed stage and developing portfolio companies developing inside). If you're interested send me an e-mail and I will respond. mschmidt @ ensembleventuresinc DOT com.

"In the gold rush got rich selling the blades, not the miners that they seek to find the gold";

Look at the companies that supply components for high-speed replacement in this industry.
For turbine suppliers sell a product that can run for years, that is, open market, never to be visited by clint, an update on new technologies will be used and no longer the old provider.

We search for suppliers of spare parts in turbine engines, maintenance companies and congeners.

Or you can use the record going into venture capital techniques are innovative, but in this case your risk rises in direct proportion to their return.

First you have to define your focus.
High risk and high return
Low risk and low return
or low risk and average return, which could be on unit sales of parts and materials or parts.

Sorry. I am negotiating in Brazil, I am negotiating in the USA.
My suggestion is to seek reports on the sector and whether the suppliers have stock, then analyzing their results.
Energy companies, I think they are very complicated volatile because the supply of energy has global score.
As I understand it, or a medium risk and a good return.
It would be in the same sector of industry suppliers and not actually in the industry.
I'll see if I can provide the corresponding names of suppliers of wind energy sector in the USA.
