Toyota has sold their one-millionth hybrid and it seems consumers and politicians are extremely interested in exploring alternative energies and energy saving technologies. We have reported in the past on companies who stand to benefit from a emerging interest in nuclear power, but in this blog we will limit the search to ETFs and companies offering energy saving and green technologies.

Over the past several decades, there hasn’t been an overwhelming investor interest in water, energy and transportation technologies. The money has largely gone towards information technologies, finance and housing. With the recent onslaught of problems in finance and housing (and some analysts are even seeing emerging issues with the bond market), investor’s will be looking for a new home for their money. This is evidenced by the current strength in the precious metals market.

Green energies and the emerging technologies in the sector may be one sector seeing growth in these tumultuous times. Below is a list of optionable clean energy, technology, and transportation stocks. Also, there are several sustainable energy ETFs listed.

Potential Trades:
This search yielded some interesting trades. In particular, there is a LDK Solar covered call with 15.8% potential profit and an in the money JA Solar (JASO) December covered call trade offering a steamy 13.6% potential profit with over 12% downside protection.

Also, as a way to easily spread risk across the sector, there are ETFs. The list below has a PowerShares WilderHill Clean Energy Portfolio covered call trade offering 5.1% potential profit and 5.1% downside protection.
