Green investing has grown well beyond niche status, as the number of mutual funds and ETFs has increased enormously in recent years. Such funds vary widely in size, but generally fall into several groups. Some funds are more focused than others, whether it is alternative energy in general or a particular sub-sector, such as water or solar. Some are more environmental-focused or even technology-driven. Some, of course, are more environmentally oriented than energy driven, focusing on companies that are concerned about their carbon footprints.

Here's a list of funds covered by Morningstar. The company does not have a so-called green category but classifies funds that include green companies in these ways:
