Science, Debate and Booze Loft

It's a late night for your PNH this weekend as the insomnia is kicked into high gear such that even the good folks from Basil Hayden with their Dark Rye can't offer any respite or solace. There is some interesting, and dare I say, good, news this week on the energy and economics front. At least for a time, NextEra Energy became the most valuable energy company in the US of A, beating out ExxonMobil in market capitalization. NextEra is a wind and solar company.

Let that sink in - A wind and solar energy company was more valuable than ExxonMobil.

Maybe there is something to this whole renewables thing.

Wind and solar producer tops Exxon as most valuable U.S. energy company NextEra, a leading provider of clean energy, now rivals oil giant ExxonMobil in terms of its value to investors.
