Clean energy stocks are still the best energy stocks to own right now, despite President Donald Trump pulling the United States out of the Paris Climate Accord. In fact, renewable energy production will see over 100% growth by 2025.
To help investors find the right renewable energy stocks, we're giving Money Morning readers our top clean energy stock pick today…
Money Morning Global Energy Strategist Dr. Kent Moors says the United States might be pulling out of the climate agreement, but that won't stop renewable energy from being crucial to meeting the global demand for energy.
Moors says the climate agreement was non-binding and voluntary, so the United States' decision to leave it won't change much. A more significant development is President Trump's attempt to end the "Clean Power Plan," an Obama-era initiative to promote clean energy, because it's currently America's policy instead of a non-binding agreement.
