A decade ago, governments around the world were pushing solar, wind and electric vehicle adoption. Now these technologies are being "pulled" by consumers. Consumers increasingly want solar on their rooftops. And they want energy storage and EVs in their garages. All this interest in clean energy has financiers and developers excited. They're taking money from fossil fuels and putting it into greener alternatives. But it's not just individuals driving the clean energy megatrend. Shareholders around the world are telling corporations to lower their fossil fuel emissions too. As a result, more commercial companies have net-zero carbon footprint goals. And they are installing on-site renewable energy or demanding it from their utilities. Prior to renewables, electricity was generated at large, central, fossil-fuel-burning or nuclear power plants. But these are increasingly being replaced by wind and solar farms. And all of these steps are just the beginning. This trend is going to only continue picking up speed in the years ahead. |
