Welcome back to another Foolish review of the hottest stocks as ranked by Motley Fool CAPS. We're looking at the three best-performing industries over the past 30 days, and your favorite long and short candidates in each.

Second and third place go to two industries chock-full of green stocks: renewable fuel and renewable energy. It's a tie here, with each group advancing 26.3% since mid-November.
