Trump is giving the world a very expensive lesson in fossil fuel dependence. Now is the time to invest in companies that are moving us towards this green future, but how?

ETFs are garbage, IMO. Supposedly “green” ETFs have polluters like Shell, Boeing, CrApple, Total, Transocean, and so much more. According to a report in 2021, 70% of companies in “sustainable” ETFs are “misaligned” aka greenwashing.

I found private investment / crowdfunding companies that allow ESG investments, but recently watched a video that the entire market (private equity in general) was heading off a cliff and to divest ASAP. It hasn’t spooked me completely as it’s just a video, but I need to do some research.

Regardless, these are the ones I found:

My questions to y’all: how do you invest in green tech? Can you recommend alternatives to the ones I named?

    Same, most ESG-based ETFs that I have seen just sound like some sort of numbers fudging instead of reasonable effort.

    The more specilized green-adjacent and less “generic” ETFs I found are:

    • ETHO for very diversified companies (only one holding is over 1%)
    • TAN for solar
    • FAN for wind
    • EVX for trash and recycling (kind of a moot point of making money on pollution though)
    • FIW for water tech (supply, filtering, plumbing)

      TAN and FAN are genius tickers for what they are.

      I was kinda hoping to find something that’s all renewables + nuclear but no fossil fuels. But I think individual energy type ETFs are easier to find.
