Oil stocks continue to pump up Wall Street. But another form of energy is heating up the market. From the Marketplace Sustainability desk, Sam Eaton reports on the buzz surrounding renewable energy funds.

Energy stocks may be all the buzz lately. Big oil companies are reporting double digit profit increases.

A safer bet may be one that's also good for the planet. Renewable energy stocks are having their day in the sun. (Photo: Michael Urban / (c) Getty Images)
