Just when you think you have figured out green
investing and you have bet on EV’s with Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) or NIO (NYSE: NIO) , the European Union announces plans to make nuclear power and natural gas plants part
of green investments . This is creating a lot of questions and controversy.
This is not a done deal and may not pass but this is what
they are thinking and it may drive investors to yet another direction in
energy.
In a press release from January 1st they said, “The European Commission began consultations yesterday with the Member
States Expert Group on Sustainable Finance and the Platform on Sustainable
Finance on a draft text of a Taxonomy Complementary Delegated Act covering
certain gas and nuclear activities. “
They go on to say “Taking account of scientific
advice and current technological progress, as well as varying transition
challenges across Member States, the Commission considers there is a role for
natural gas and nuclear as a means to facilitate the transition towards a
predominantly renewable-based future. Within the Taxonomy framework, this would
mean classifying these energy sources under clear and tight conditions (for
example, gas must come from renewable sources or have low emissions by 2035),
in particular as they contribute to the transition to climate neutrality.”
They tell investors ,” The EU Taxonomy
is a robust, science-based transparency tool for companies and investors. It
creates a common language that investors can use when investing in projects and
economic activities that have a substantial positive impact on the climate and
the environment. It will also introduce disclosure obligations on companies and
financial market participants.”
This is all part of the plan to meet the objectives
of the net zero plan for 2050 and the
So for investors I have to join their confusion as we revisit headlines from
2019 like “Give
Up Your Gas Stove To Save The Planet? Banning Gas Is The Next Climate Push”
From the August 2019 article – “In July, Berkeley, Calif., became the first
city in the country to ban natural gas in new buildings, starting next year.
City officials say new efficient electric appliances have lower carbon
footprints than gas-powered furnaces and water heaters.
"We need to tackle climate change every way
that we can and by doing this, we're not asking people to change that
much," says Kate Harrison, the Berkeley City Council member who led the
initiative.”
Yet in Obama’s 2014
State
of the Union address he said, "If extracted safely," Obama said,
natural gas is "the 'bridge fuel' that can power our economy with less of
the carbon pollution that causes climate change."
And that’s
just a brief view of the whipsaw of opinions on natural gas over the
years ; when you Google ,why is nuclear energy not considered green? you
get this answer:
The mining, milling and enrichment of uranium into nuclear fuel are
extremely energy-intensive and result in the emission of carbon dioxide into
the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels. ... Thermal pollution from
nuclear power plants adversely affects marine ecosystems.
But as they say in their proposal – don’t worry,
they will be classifying these energy sources under clear and tight
conditions.
My advice to investors is do your own due-
diligence and dig deep through all the layers of a product or energy
source and find out all the real
benefits and potential problems of the solution being presented. It’s your money
– your time is worth it .Don’t just rely
on headlines and the new buzzwords when it comes to the generational health of
this planet and the people living on it.
Thanks, that’s it for today. Do something good for this beautiful planet
each and every day.
