Interest in renewable energy gets a boost from China!
 [2013-01-31]
Interest in renewable energy is getting a boost as China announces it will boost its Solar Power Goal to 67% as Smog hit record levels in January.
The new target would increase solar power installations by more than five-fold from 6.5 gigawatts of capacity as of the end of last year, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance data. This should boost demand for manufactures of solar panels such as Yingli (already in our portfolio) and Suntech Power Holdings. Suntech's stock price could be due for a rebound - it was trading above $10 back in 2011! It is trading today at $1.50!
