Do We Have The Energy To Understand ESG Investing?

  • The outperformance and underperformance of ESG and anti-ESG stocks appear primarily based on whether you own oil and gas stocks – other factors seem small.
  • ESG/sustainable investing is losing its appeal because it is less clear what it means, and regulatory changes, expected to make it better, remain absent.
  • As the developed world states a desire to become less reliant on China, inflation and other challenges slow its progress while China charges ahead and lowers costs.
  • We note initiatives to reduce power consumption, especially in buildings, and question whether industrial conservation is good or bad relative to other efforts.
  • Otherwise, we look at the new Lego challenge, return to CCS, which is gaining momentum, look at power inefficiency, and what keeps European industry alive.
