| TOP PICK | 3.630 | Brendan Kyne | Only publicly traded wind power stock he could find. 2 operating fields in California. Older technology and there will be a retro fit in the next year or 2, which will increase efficiency fourfold. Their project Wind Star is the most prolific wind farm in the US and could potentially be worth $200-$300 million when developed. | 2008-06-06 | |
