What “Green Technology” would you suggest a 16 year old invest in?

I want to buy a stock, and I feel that green technology would be a great investment for the future. What would you suggest, as I am thinking about solar or wind energy?

In addition, what do you think of ecolab stock?

Thanks in advanced!

    I think recycling will be a good investment, especially anything that has now ways of recycling plastic. There was one guy who turned all the un-recyclable plastic into railway sleepers and made a fortune. Just remember, in recycling the raw material is free, and in some cases people will pay you to take it away. Its got to be a boomer! Also, plastic is made form oil, and so is a limited resource. There will be an ever increasing need to harvest plastic waste. There are some companies already doing that. "mining" old land fills for the plastic and the methane fuel form rotting waste. Dirty money :-).

    Investing into "Green Technology" would be the most stupid thing to be doing, unless you know the stock market.

    The main problem with MOST green Tech is:

    It costs a lot of money, but it takes a long time before the investment pays off.
    To the investors this means they get supposedly great business expectations but most likely wont see the dream come true, esp. as todays tech is obsolete tomorrow - e.g. you cant even tell if cars will be running on gas, fuel or electricity.
