Charles recently recommended a few dividend paying alternative energy companies as safe havens in the current turmoil.  Since I’ve been thinking along the same lines, I thought I’d add my own picks.  I currently like energy efficiency companies with solid balance sheets, because I believe that Obama’s fiscal stimulus will contain significant money for green, energy-efficiency related jobs.  

That said, here are two I’d add to Charles’ list.  These two also have the advantage of being pure-play (or nearly pure-play) bets on clean energy.

Name Ticker Yield Focus Related Articles
Waterfunace Renewable Energy WFI.TO, WFFIF.PK 3.27% Geothermal Heat Pumps Wind and Heat Pumps
New Flyer Industries NFI-UN.TO, NFYIF.PK 17.7% (based on 12x last monthly distribution) Bus manufacture New Flyer Industries

The New Flyer yield is not strictly a dividend payment.  This is an "income deposit security" paying a blend of interest on a subordinated bond plus a cash dividend.  The dividend varies from month to month, based on earnings, but currently about two-thirds of the distribution is interest.

DISCLOSURE: Tom Konrad has owns shares of  WFI and NFI-UN.
