RWE, F3 Uranium, Nel ASA – New energy policy under Trump! Who benefits?
While former President Biden worked towards climate policy goals, Donald Trump is taking a different approach. His primary goal is to boost the economy, and the best way to do that is to make energy affordable. He wants to increase drilling for fossil fuels in order to lower energy prices. This puts pressure on renewable energies, especially wind power. Solar energy remains part of the energy mix. Nuclear power is gaining in importance. By 2050, nuclear power capacity is to be tripled, partly through the use of small modular reactors. This should improve the CO2 balance. In the hydrogen sector, the focus could be on blue hydrogen due to increased natural gas production.

F3 Uranium, Plug Power, RWE - Opportunities and challenges from Trump's energy emergency
The election of Donald J. Trump as the 47th President of the United States is already having an impact on global energy policy and its players. Shortly after taking office, Trump declared a "National Energy Emergency" to secure the country's energy supply and reduce reliance on foreign energy companies. This presents a new opportunity for the Canadian explorer company F3 Uranium to accelerate its uranium exploration in Canada, as relaxed environmental regulations can speed up approval procedures. With 95 nuclear power plants, the US is an ideal consumer of the valuable raw material. Hydrogen expert Plug Power, on the other hand, has already seen its share price fall on the stock market. Just two days before Trump's inauguration, the Company secured a multi-billion-dollar loan guarantee under former President Biden for the expansion of its hydrogen facilities. The German energy company RWE appears largely unfazed by the change of government. Analysts at Deutsche Bank remain optimistic about the stock's growth potential, noting that existing wind farm projects seem unaffected by the energy emergency. We look at what the current developments mean for investors.

Saturn Oil + Gas, Nel ASA, RWE - How three energy giants are redefining the future of global energy supply
Only a few days remain until January 20, 2025. The day the new US president will be sworn in and can push ahead with another energy turnaround. In North America, energy companies like Saturn Oil & Gas are expanding, and their products are driving the economy. With its blueprint strategy, Saturn ensures continuous value creation and is investing around CAD 320 million in further oil drilling projects for 2025. The clear financial strategy also provides more flexibility for the coming year. In Europe, the shift toward renewable energies continues. Nel ASA boasts full order books thanks to demand from Asia, but analysts remain cautious given the lack of hydrogen supply infrastructure in Europe. However, the new EU supply chain law could reshape the market conditions in favour of Nel ASA, as initial threats from Qatar indicate. As a global player, RWE continues to do business where it is most lucrative. The Company has achieved a milestone in the US, and in Italy, RWE is bringing a fresh breeze to the energy sector. Where investors should act now.

Myriad Uranium - Uranium prices are exploding! What is the outlook for Nel ASA and RWE?
Uranium is increasingly coming into focus. Recently, the largest uranium producers, Kazatomprom and Cameco, revised their production forecasts downward, and this at a time when the world needs more energy. Data centres for quantum computing, crypto mining, artificial intelligence, and electromobility are driving the world's hunger for electricity. At the same time, some large tech companies are researching modular nuclear reactors, which could further boost the demand for uranium. While the uranium sector is performing well, 2024 has been a tough year for hydrogen and renewable energies. We look at one company from each sector and examine the prospects for 2025.

RWE, F3 Uranium, Super Micro Computer – Profiting from the world's growing hunger for energy
Global energy demand is skyrocketing, fuelled by technological progress and the enormous appetite for electricity for electric vehicles and AI-powered data centres, whose consumption could more than double by 2028. At the same time, the energy transition faces unresolved challenges: Weather-dependent wind and solar energy supply electricity in an unreliable manner, bureaucratic hurdles slow down the expansion, and without sufficient storage, alternatives for the base load are lacking. Given these developments, nuclear power is increasingly seen as the only reliable option for both satisfying the growing hunger for energy and ensuring a stable and climate-friendly energy supply in the long term.

RWE, Globex Mining, Plug Power - Energy transition: Euphoria, disillusionment, and investment opportunities
The path to a sustainable energy supply is not linear but is characterized by successes, setbacks and surprising developments. Despite possible supply risks, the German energy giant RWE is posting record earnings of EUR 4 billion (EBITDA) and is a thorn in the side of the Federal Cartel Office due to its market dominance. With its "mineral bank" model, mining specialist Globex Mining proves how traditional commodity businesses can also develop sustainably. The mining sector faces a double challenge: on the one hand, the industry contributes massively to the increased carbon footprint, while on the other hand, it is indispensable for the energy transition, as the demand for metals for batteries and renewable energies is increasing dramatically. With over 252 projects and smart royalty rights, Globex Mining is growing continuously, and its enterprise value is increasing. Hydrogen pioneer Plug Power, on the other hand, is struggling with a significant 20% revenue drop despite ambitious growth targets. "Hope dies last," one thinks when considering the perseverance of Plug Power's management. Where do investment opportunities lie?
