Best Renewable Energy Stocks to Buy [Or Avoid] in 2020.

Energy stocks have had a volatile year so far and continue to do so with the U.S. Presidential Elections being concluded this week. Energy companies in general have had one hell of a ride in the stock market in 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted most energy supply chains and even caused crude oil prices to drop to the negatives at one point. Also, with the U.S. elections coming to an end this week, the outcome of a Republican or Democrat President will affect the energy industry’s future.

More crucially is the Senate race as new policies such as the Green New Deal legislation can only be made if Democrats win the Senate. Investors of renewable energy stocks are nervous right now as a Republican-controlled Senate is becoming a reality. This is because Republicans are generally more inclined to supporting traditional fuels. This has caused several renewable energy stocks such as Renewable Energy Group (REGI Stock Report) and Bloom Energy (BE Stock Report) to be down 5.65% and 4.96% respectively yesterday.

Now things do look bleak for the renewable energy industry. However, you must remember that there is real momentum to shift our global energy needs to renewables. The implications of climate change have already caused one of the worst wildfires in California in October. Energy giants like Shell (RDS.A Stock Report) are already diversifying to renewables. With 7.8 billion people in the world right now, we are highly dependent on the energy industry. For the industry to meet this energy demand, we will need to shift to renewables. My take is that the renewable energy industry is here to stay and will continue to grow despite the shortcomings in 2020. Here are 3 top energy stocks that you could pay attention too for long term gains.

The company has also reaffirmed its third-quarter guidance for a gross billing of $110 million to $115 million. This is given how renewables have been getting a larger pie of the energy market share.
