Portfolio Pulse from Natan Ponieman
California and Germany have made significant strides towards 100% renewable energy, with California's power supply recently being over 70% renewable on average. The clean energy sector faces uncertainty with the upcoming 2024 presidential election. ETFs like iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (ICLN) and Invesco Solar ETF (TAN) have seen minor upticks this week, despite losses over the past year. Stocks such as NextEra Energy Inc (NEE), First Solar Inc (FSLR), and Clearway Energy, Inc. (CWEN) are recovering but still down from last year's prices.
