Darron Stover of www.invest4change.com wrote in this month's Innerchange magazine about investing in energy. Although somewhat vague and obvious, he does offer some good tips for those that wish to invest in better energy alternatives.

One of the key worries for socially responsible investors is the fact you must invest in small individual alternative energy stocks, which are well known for being quite risky and volatile. Darron suggests diversifying by investing in stocks that focus in alternative energy companies and companies whose products or services make our world more energy efficient or reduce pollution.

The article also mentions the general concensus that more efficient production and distribution is an excellent way to conserve energy mined by the notoriously socially irresponsible energy giants. This brings to mind companies that focus on helping other companies minimize the carbon footprint of their distribution chains as another way to safely diversify your socially conscious investment portfolio.
