Corporations Are Investing in Wind and Solar Energy Now More Than Ever

An array of corporations—including Budweiser, Gap Inc., and MGM Resort International—have invested in wind and solar energy recently, pushing spending above $16 billion last year, a 13% growth from the year prior, The Wall Street Journal reports. This growth is expected to double in 2019.

With high-profile reports warning of the dangers of climate change should humans not adapt, more people are becoming aware of how their actions affect the globe. A December poll showed 58% of U.S. voters believe scientists are right, and climate change is indeed man-made.

The consumers are asking for change: the WSJ reports more hotel clients in Las Vegas are demanding venues that limit greenhouse gas emissions, food waste, and other problematic expenditures.
The change led MGM to look for a green investment, eventually finding a solar farm that could power nearly all of the company’s 13 local casinos for less than $30 a megawatt hour—an offer $20 to $140 less than that of most new fossil-fuel facilities in developed nations.

“It is good business to be green,” Cindy Ortega, MGM Resort International’s chief sustainability officer, told the WSJ. “That’s a real shift in thinking.”

Yes indeed, olfrauds sock puppets are renowned for their inability to find factual data. It's a problem. Your reports are interesting, so too is how Germany is abandoning renewables. I guess they finally got tired of their people freezing...

Abu is rock's sock? Guess it makes sense...they are about the only ones who go about posting "funny" on posts without making comments...and there are a couple of grammatical quirks that they share. Guess abu is socks release valve...gives him a chance to let the squirrels running around in that rotted liberal brain of his to get out from some air...abu is at least an order of magnitude crazier than rocks...Guess he needs an outlet like that....must be tough to keep that sort of crazy under anything like control...

Many posts don't rate a reply.
Most of Yours, ALL of Billy Bobb's, ALL of Skookerassbil's, ALL of Wearherman's, ALL of Crusader Franks, etc, etc.

But I put up as much meat per post as anyone.

Plans for 'world's largest' wind farm

Plans have been announced to build three new giant wind farms off the Yorkshire coast.

The developers behind the Dogger Bank project claim it would be the world's biggest and produce enough electricity to power 4.5 million UK homes.

Work is expected to start in January and the first power could be produced in 2023.

Industry body RenewableUK said the investment could "support thousands of new jobs".

We could support millions of new jobs by having people dig holes and fill them up again.

But those whole will not produce for 20 years like wind nd solar.
Digging holes for fracking lasts about 1 year.

wind nd solar aren't making any difference. They aren't dependable. no 24 hour service. so it's a bandaid. you all can post that for forever, but Germany abandoned that path. Natural gas is great for the grid, it's dependable.

Digging holes definitely would be as product.

Spending more to create less electricity is a good thing?

It's been working for California.
It's nothing like rolling blackouts in a 3rd world country.

How many "green" energy stocks in the Dow?

How many "green" energy stocks in the Dow?

non sequitur.
(and you didn't answer the collapse of Fossil Fuel cos.)

MarketWatch.com
"... Peter McNally, global lead for industrials, materials and energy at research firm Third Bridge, says aggressive investment by utilities in renewable energy has lowered the cost of clean tech and showed it was viable at scale. Just as utilities invested in natural gas 20 years ago at the expense of coal, they are now doing the same with alternative energy.

“Clean-tech businesses are starting to stand on their own, and I think they got a big boost from the utilities,” he says.

Data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the statistical arm of the U.S. Department of Energy, shows as of 2019, 18% of the U.S.’s electricity generation came from alternative energy, versus 10% in 2009...."

Next Era Energy has about the same Market Cap as Exxon.
It is a mostly non Fossil fuel Renewable energy Utility co.
and the current crisis will boost clean energy yet more.

Exxon Mobil has a market cap of over $140 billion.
How many "green" energy stocks are that large?

That is awesome!!!

It is a mostly non Fossil fuel Renewable energy Utility co.

Ummm....at the end of 2019, their coal, oil, nuclear and natural gas units had nearly three
times the capacity as their wind and solar did.
And the non-renewables generated about 65% of total electricity.

Is that your idea of "mostly"?

 

[elektra]

renewables are only built burning fossil fuel and using coal. Run out of either and renewables clean green dies
