"There's no 'silver bullet' solution to the energy crisis; but there are some solutions that do work," says Sean Broderick, referring to wind and solar power.

In The Safe Money Report he says, "There are with some choice ETF to power your own bottom line." Here's a look at the two green technologies and how you can invest in these developing fields.

"Many Americans are disgusted by the fact that, faced with an energy crisis, the government seems to produce nothing but hot air. So let me give you my appraisal of two alternative energy solutions that work -- along with some choice exchange-traded funds that can power your own bottom line. Here are two energy solutions that work right now.

Solution #1: Wind Power

"Critics will point out that the wind seems to stop blowing when you want electricity most -- on hot summer days. And that is a problem. However, a study last year by Stanford University shows that wind power from interconnected farms can be used as reliable base load electric power.

"Renewable fuels and clean energy, a sector beaten down hard since last fall, are now primed for a major comeback," says Eric Roseman, editor of The Commodity Trend Alert. Here's his ETF play on the sector.

"With every passing day the price of crude oil rises, the secular trend to alternative energy becomes even more powerful. Consumers, companies and governments are now sick and tired of soaring energy prices.

"The long-term solution is to obviously reduce our dependence on oil and increase our consumption of renewable fuels like wind, solar, and nuclear energy.

"The bull market in alternative energy began in 2005 when a host of companies in this thriving sector went public, supported by government subsidies, especially in Germany and Spain. Interestingly, Germany and Spain have just reduced solar energy subsidies this spring.

"In my view, those subsidy cuts don't matter at this stage. When companies in the solar sector are making money, why should governments continue subsidizing them?
