... restrictions and promotes fossil fuel production, including coal, as part of a push for energy independence. These measures have provided additional momentum for the coal industry. Experts emphasize that while the development of renewable energy (wind, solar, etc.) continues to accelerate, an immediate transition away from traditional fuel sources is not feasible. The International Energy Agency predicts that global coal-fired electricity generation will start to gradually decline after 2025. However,...

... Experts note that the return to coal is not only seen in the U.S. In several large developing countries, coal consumption remains high, compensating for limitations on gas or oil. Simultaneously, the sector for renewable energy sources (RES) — wind and solar — continues to grow; however, their intermittency compels governments to maintain coal generation as a reserve for peak load situations. The International Energy Agency predicts that global electricity generation from coal will gradually decline ...

... electric charging. This indicates that electricity is starting to be regarded as an important energy "commodity" for the transportation sector in the future. Another aspect is the development of **renewable energy sources (RES)**. Although solar and wind power plants do not directly reduce gasoline prices today, investments in RES are changing the overall energy supply structure. On a global scale, the growing share of RES in electricity generation reduces the economy's dependence on fossil ...

... profitability. Generac (GNRC) – an American manufacturer of backup generators and energy storage systems. Following the pandemic boom in demand (as many installed home generators), the company now faces a cooling market and increased competition in the solar panel and battery sectors. Nevertheless, Q2 forecasts expect stabilization: revenue around $1.02 billion (+2% year-on-year), with earnings ~$1.32 per share (slightly down ~2% year-on-year).
