Good NEWS: U.S. BIG Solar Sets Stage for HUGE Boom  

Big Solar is About to Get Unstoppable 

Big solar used to be almost entirely driven by policy, mainly state renewable energy standards and federal tax credits. It has all but outgrown the first and will outgrow the latter over the next five years.

It's about to stand on its own two feet, outcompeting even rivals that are allowed to dump carbon emissions into the atmosphere for free. It won't be long before the discussion about environmental benefits is moot — utilities will demand solar because it's the cheapest power available.

Bulls Return to Energy Markets

But when Diamondback Energy went out to raise $226 million worth of new stock that week in the middle of January, the oil and gas company found more buyers than it could accommodate. It had to nearly double the amount of shares it sold, to four million.

Since Diamondback issued equity that day, the company’s share price has increased more than 29 percent.
