Venture to guess where the money's flowing?

You got it. Venture capitalists are pouring billions into alternative energy. Every little blip in the fossil fuel market, every little Japanese quake that shuts a nuc plant, each political hiccup leads to even more interest in locally-produced alternative fuels.

Today Ernst & Young projected $375 billion will be invested in alternative energy companies over the next decade. Not nearly as much as the U.S. has spent in Iraq, but still a pretty big number. More than Exxon's annual profit at least.
