It is not often that I start a piece, here or elsewhere, with a disclaimer, but I feel that I should here. A couple of weeks ago, I bought the stock that I will be looking at today, so if you think that makes it likely that I am simply talking my book, you need not read any further. I would, however, point out that having been trained in dealing rooms, no one position I ever take is for more than a fairly small percentage of my investable funds and, with all due respect to all of you, I somehow doubt that any one of you has enough oomph to move a stock with an average daily turnover approaching half a billion dollars in a meaningful way. All in all, the chances of me using this as an opportunity to front run you guys and pump up something I already own are negligible, to say the least.
So, why do I start with the disclaimer? Because the reason I bought it is important and still valid. In fact, one could argue that events since then have reinforced the logic behind the trade and, while the stock is a little higher now than when I got in, this may represent a better entry point from a risk perspective.

Renewable energy sources — once the fuel of the future, then practical in specific, narrow applications — are increasingly economic mainstream sources of power generation. Hydropower was long the mainstay of U.S. renewable electricity generation, although wind power surpassed hydro for the first time in 2019, and solar continues its rapid growth. The continued growth of wind and solar, with their fluctuations, is tied in part to improvements in storage technology: batteries.
