Empowering Your Money: The 5 Best Energy Stocks to Invest In

2. Ballard Power Systems (NASDAQ:BLDP)

Despite the fact that Ballard Power Systems is actually a fuel-cell producer and thus considered not to be an actual energy company, it has managed to land in the second spot on our list. Shares are up by 175% as shareholders are excited about the possibility of developing a radical new way of storing and generating energy. Although this company is promising, there are also large risks involved in investing, as it is yet far from profitable and still has much to prove.
