4 Top Renewable Energy Stocks For Your Watchlist This Month

With crude oil prices continuing to break multi-year highs, all eyes are on the energy industry. Of course, traditional energy stocks like

Exxon Mobil

(

NYSE: XOM

) and

Chevron

(

NYSE: CVX

) have seen their share prices rising by over 20% this year. Yet, high prices of oil and gas also brought attention to

renewable energy stocks

in the stock market. After all, many agree that renewable energy is the way forward to ensure the long-term sustainability of our planet. In fact, even government bodies around the world are highly encouraging the transition to renewable energy sources. For instance, the Biden administration believes that the nation could move toward producing almost half of its electricity from the sun by 2050.

This could be feasible given that the cost of solar panels has fallen substantially in recent years. That said, we will still require trillions of dollars in investment from homeowners, businesses and the government combined to make this a reality. Fortunately, we have some of the largest companies in the world such as

Tesla

(

NASDAQ: TSLA

) and

General Motors

(

NYSE: GM

) in support of this movement. For instance, General Motors believes that it could source 100 percent renewable energy to power its U.S. sites by 2025, five years earlier than previously announced. With that in mind, should you be watching these top renewable energy stocks in the

stock market

today?

Each display is hinged to a panel on the opposite sides of the EV charger’s frame. The design allows for convenient access behind the displays and inside the EV charger.
