Alternative energy production is a waste of time without government subsidies. The other areas certainly have a future so long as the available spending and finance is there from both the private and public sector, but the present propositions concerning health care would make me much more leery as to their viability.
The problem with this article's assumption (and therefore yours) is that the finance and real estate industries reached their peak a few years ago and will be in serious decline for the near future. That is not where I would be focusing my interests. Of course, that being said, construction I don't think has a viable future in the intermediate term. Defense is also questionable, though I do expect threats of war to become much more common in upcoming years.
Contrary to that, agriculture has not been a place to invest for the last 30 years, at best. Energy only became a viable investment in the last five years or so, after being deadwood for the last 20 before that. My leeriness as to its future is more intermediate-term, rather than long-term.
