Whats weird to me is that renewables stock in the US is down or flat even though they seem profitable (FSLR TAN NXT and ENPH) for examples.

They all had bumps in June but in spite of new investments and the increase in oil costs they dont seem to be doing well. I dont know how the global businesses go so Im assuming it's just an American thing because of the current Trump policies.

Still at least FSLR was doing well enough at the end of june with a lot of contracts. I think to data centers? IDK the market and how these corps are doing are clearly some things I dont know very well

Trump has shown that he would spend billions to stop the building of renewable energies. So with almost zero chance of any major renewable projects, faith is low despite any upticks in residential and commercial renewable projects.
