Consultant POV

“Clean energy technology has crossed the inflection point — solar PV and wind are now cheaper than fossil fuels in most markets, and the IRA has anchored a generational US clean energy manufacturing investment cycle. The question is no longer whether clean energy will win, but which companies will capture the value. The winners will be those that combine technology cost leadership, project development pipeline depth, and supply chain integration — because clean energy technology is now a manufacturing and infrastructure business, not an R&D one.”
