As we see equity markets rise, the specter that we are already in a new bull market is growing by the day. And investors need a plan of attack to take advantage.
As themes go, one area of focus that could become a dominant leadership area is clean energy technology. The main driver behind this idea is the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022, which is set to pump hundreds of billions of dollars into the green energy space over coming years.
The IRA will make the single largest investment in climate and energy in American history, providing $370 billion in funding for clean energy technologies, including solar, wind, and energy efficiency. This funding will help to accelerate the transition to a clean energy economy and create millions of good-paying jobs.
The IRA will drive new investments into the green energy space in a number of ways.
First, the IRA will provide direct funding for clean energy projects, helping to make clean energy more affordable and accessible to businesses and consumers.
Second, the IRA will provide tax credits and other financial incentives for clean energy investments. These incentives will make it more attractive for businesses and investors to put their money into clean energy.
And third, the IRA will create new markets for clean energy technologies. For example, the IRA will invest in the development of a clean energy grid, which will create new demand for solar and wind power.
There’s no other investment theme that already has such broad shoulders to stand on in terms of subsidized growth. For investors, the only way to take advantage is through share ownership in companies that stand to benefit the most.
With that in mind, we take a look below at some of the most interesting stocks lined up to accelerate in front of this massive tailwind of capital.
