From an investment perspective, this is why I have saying for a long time that people need to broaden their investment horizons and look for companies which have or are developing solutions to the inevitable problems that are going to emerge when politicans try tilt the scale.
I saw a map on TV the other day for the US that showed the high vulnerbility of the electrical grid to brownouts and blackouts. This has a big impact on commerical and industrial electricity users. Companies that develop solutions to these problems have a multibillion dollar market ahead of them in the US, not to mention the rest of the world.
On the solar side, there is the beginnings of a pushback against solar farms due to the destruction of the habitat of desert animals.
So I guess in a nutshell, wise investors are looking at the whole energy ecosystem, not just oil producers to make investment profits.
coming from a financial world, i'm surprised you don't know what drive investors. Let me tell you then, it's about making green and the smell of it
Even elon musk, creator of tesla EVs, energy storage, space X, neuralink, starlink, boring co., knows without profit there would be NO investors. Investors only show up if they can smell the money now or at least down the road. It's the conscience consumers that eventually drive the trend. Of course, gov'ts and conman can distort and recreate what consumer what to think and believe. Investors, wise or dumb ones, really don't examine the whole energy ecosystem unless there is some green behind the ecosystem. Therefore, in this monetary paradigm, green drive the ecosystem, investors just follow the green. You are welcome to change my mind.
