7 clean energy stocks with a bright future
The debate about renewable energy (i.e. clean energy) versus non-renewable energy from fossil fuels would always boil down to dollars and cents. Since 2016 it has not been easy for companies in the renewable energy sector. When the United States pushed for energy independence, the Trump administration imposed tariffs on industrial segments. The sector has been subject to less favorable policies from electricity regulators. In addition, competing energy sources such as coal received more aid.
But something funny has happened in the last four years. Renewable energy companies continued to grow. This continues the pattern of renewable energy sources becoming cheaper for businesses. And that increases the demand.
One of the best parts of this sector for investors is that there are many ways to play the sector. In addition to sun and wind, hydrogen stocks are becoming an interesting way of investing in renewable energies.
Rather than viewing this choice as a choice between bad and good, investors should really view it as a case of “good or better”. Because no matter who wins the election, clean energy stocks will continue to grow.
