"We caught a moment earlier this week when it became clear to me that wind power may be the biggest sleeper out there." - Jim Cramer

OTTR
Otter Tail Corpor - $23.03
- -0.35%
- $23.09
have been recommending Otter Tail Power (OTTR) as a play on this because of its wind division. James Altucher of Stockpickr did the same thing Monday on "Street Signs" with Erin Burnett. It's a pastiche of a utility but its windmill business seems very strong.

TRN
Trinity Ind - $18.87
- +0.59%
- $18.72
Right on the heels of that we got the Trinity (TRN) quarter and it was chock full of good news about wind demand. Make no mistake, wind is the cheapest form of power, although not geographically the most convenient. So the big backlog in windmills was heartening, even as Trinity's rail-car business is so-so.

ZOLT
Zoltek Companies - $8.98
- -0.77%
- $9.06
Zoltek (ZOLT), a maker of the heavy duty carbon fibers needed for wind mills, has accounting problems as of yesterday.

GE
Gen Electric Co - $16.02
- +0.50%
- $15.82
I had asked Becky Quick to ask him -- he did not have an earpiece on so could only hear me through Becky -- about how backing of wind power. He owns a Midwest utility and I heard that he was building up wind power as an important source of energy. His answer was a tad off: he seemed to like it but he said he couldn't get enough wind mills without the help of GE (GE) being gracious to him.
