Disruptive Theme of the Week: Clean Energy
It may not have been on your investment bingo card, but one of the surprising outperforming investment themes this year has been clean energy. One catalyst has been the growing electricity demands related to the rise of AI.

Wind energy stocks have rallied recently, but I view this as a temporary surge rather than a sustainable turnaround. Wind faces structural economic challenges, including high input costs, complex logistics, and increasing opposition. Recent U.S. legislation accelerates the phaseout of wind and solar tax credits, threatening the viability of hundreds of planned renewable energy projects.
Real Asset ETFs: Really Underappreciated
Last week, I moderated two panels on real assets and infrastructure for completely different sets of panelists and audiences. Despite the differences, there were many similarities among the two panels.
