Sorry to have missed this one. Yes, there is the Claymore/LGA Green (GRN) which was launched last December. The ETF holds companies with the best combination of environmental performance trends respective to their industry. Most of the holdings are large caps. Harvey, thank you for your information on the Market Vectors. It is important for investors to have as much information as they can when looking into ETFs, no matter what area.

This ETF is global with over 55% of the total market cap of companies in the ETF coming from non-US companies. 2. For a company to get included in the Index and therefore in the ETF, it must derive at least 50% of its revenue from alternative energy. This ETF delivers a "pure play." 3. Based on market cap, about 70% of this ETF is in firms classified as being in renewable energy (wind, solar, bio-fuels, thermal, hydro, etc.) The Market Vectors – Global Alternative Energy ETF has 3 important features that investors should keep in mind when evaluating investment opportunities in the alternative energy space:
