It’s been said that gridlock is a feature, not a bug, of the US Constitution, and we may be about to find that out.

We’re looking at the prospect of divided government – a Biden Administration with a Republican Senate and a Democratic House with a stronger minority. According to JPMorgan strategist Marko Kolanovic, this may be the best possible outcome.“A GOP …read more […]

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will be the next president and vice president of the United States. And President-elect Biden is wasting no time in making his agenda known.
It’s very similar to what he’s been speaking about during his campaign stops. Personally, I’m most interested in how he plans to handle climate change, renewable energy, energy efficiency and electric vehicles.
Together, these are referred to as clean technology, “greentech” or “cleantech.”
Cleantech touches many industries. But it’s defined primarily by sectors such as energy efficiency, energy generation, energy infrastructure and energy storage.
Lucky for us, these are sectors we’ve been following for years …read more […]

Plug Power (PLUG) is a strange sort of business. In more than 20 years of operation, the hydrogen fuel cell company has sold a lot of fuel cell systems, but never earned a profit, and never generated positive free cash flow. Instead, Plug funds its operations mainly by issuing and selling new shares — over and over again. In fact, from 2000 to 2020, Plug’s share count has grown from 4.4 million to 399.7 million — i.e. grown 90x in size.But what a difference a pandemic makes, and what a difference (the hope for) a Green New Deal!As COVID-19 unhinged …read more […]

The old cliché of “a game of two halves” can apply almost perfectly to Inovio Pharmaceuticals’ (INO) 2020. Until roughly the end of June, shares of the formerly little-known biotech were on an absolute tear. As one of the smaller companies to benefit from the market’s infatuation with “coronavirus stocks,” the company’s valuation soared on the premise of the successful development of INO-4800, its DNA COVID-19 vaccine candidate.But since then, sentiment has soured as the vaccine’s development has not gone smoothly. Progress hit a brick wall in September, when the FDA halted the planned Phase 2/3 study of INO-4800. The …read more […]
