4 Renewable Energy Stocks Worth Watching This Week
While the world continues to deal with a global pandemic, the climate crisis remains a relevant issue today. As such, some would argue that the growth story among renewable energy stocks in the stock market today still holds strong. This would be the case as the energy industry looks towards cleaner and more sustainable sources of power generation. On top of that, even President Joe Biden’s administration is looking to bolster the country’s renewable energy industry now. This is evident as Biden’s latest infrastructure bill will see billions being invested towards electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure locally. Ideally, this could further bolster EV adoption in the U.S.
For the most part, investors looking to bet on renewables have a sizable pool of options to choose from now. The aforementioned federal focus on EV adoption would highlight companies such as Blink Charging (NASDAQ: BLNK) and Volta Charging (NYSE: SNPR). Elsewhere, conventional renewable energy players like Jinko Solar (NYSE: JKS) would also gain momentum as solar energy adoption trends accelerate. In fact, Jinko Solar is collaborating with the Maersk Shipping Company to significantly expand its logistics network, as of today. Now, these are but two instances of the ever-evolving and expanding renewable energy industry. Having read all this, you might be keen on the sector yourself. In that case, here are four making headlines in the stock market now.
