Renewable energy -hope for a sustainable futureThe damaging effects of climate change are already upon us. So far this year, locals and tourists have been forced to flee raging wildfires in the beautiful islands of Greece. In Madagascar, more than a million people are suffering from hunger and malnutrition due to the worst drought in 40 years1. Flash floods in Sudan have displaced large populations and damaged infrastructure and crops. In China, wild weather swings have brought torrential rains in some parts, while other regions bake in scorching heat.
That is anything but an exhaustive list. And so, we must act now to stop human induced climate change. Fortunately, the world has awakened to this realisation. The gap between global investment in clean energy versus that in fossil fuels is starting to widen.
This blog outlines some of the biggest renewable energy mega projects happening around the world which show that, when bold ambition meets innovation, there is hope for a more sustainable future.
Energy Island, Denmark
Denmark is building an artificial island capable of powering the entire country in what the Danish government claims is a ‘gigantic green quantum leap’. The island will be built 60 kilometres (km) offshore to benefit from stronger winds, be the size of 18 football pitches, and could house up to 600 giant wind turbines. Denmark plans to complete the project by 2030 with the aim of supplying 3-4 gigawatts (GW) of energy and ultimately expanding to almost 10GW. This future expansion will allow Denmark to export energy generated from the island2.
Denmark constructed the world’s first offshore wind farm in 19913 and has, since then, had a strong focus on generating renewable energy from the strong winds in the North Sea. This project will be a monumental culmination of that policy focus. In addition to wind power generation, the island will also have battery storage and an electrolysis plant to produce green hydrogen.
This trio of technologies that will be situated on the island neatly illustrates their interconnectedness. Battery storage is essential to make wind a dependable source of energy, by enabling it to be deployed as and when required, particularly over shorter durations of time. The production of green hydrogen requires a current of renewable energy to be passed through water to separate hydrogen from oxygen. That hydrogen can then serve as a store of energy for long periods of time, like days or weeks, and can be converted back into electrical energy through fuel cells. Scaling up all three together is a smart course of action.
Gansu Wind Farm, China
The Gansu Wind Farm in China’s first phase was completed in 2010 with a 5.16GW capacity and has since held the spot as the world’s largest wind farm. The project continues to expand and, in 2021, its capacity reached 10GW. When finished, it will comprise 7000 wind turbines and reach a capacity of 20GW4.
The Gansu Wind Farm sits on the outskirts of the Gobi Desert in northern China, considered an extremely remote and hostile area. To get electricity from the wind farm, China has built a 2,383 km transmission line5.
The Gansu Wind Farm highlights how, with enough willpower, onshore wind (turbines on land) can be deployed at scale. Onshore wind projects often face their own set of challenges when land is at a premium. There is often an opportunity cost of building large onshore wind farms if space must be taken away from agriculture or housing, or if there are ecological risks. By contrast, the Gansu Wind Farm resides in an uninhabitable part of the world with very windy conditions making it a highly fruitful endeavour for harnessing onshore wind, albeit one requiring a bit more effort to build and maintain.
Bhadla Solar Park, India
What else is abundant in a desert? Sunshine. The Bhadla Solar Park in India’s desert state of Rajasthan is the largest solar farm in the world, spanning over an area of 14,000 acres. The farm was commissioned in 2017, has a capacity of 2.25GW, and contains over 10 million solar panels6.
One of the challenges faced by solar power projects situated in deserts is that sand can form a layer over the modules restricting the amount of sunlight that goes through. To overcome this challenge, the facility uses robotic cleaners that employ microfibre rollers to clean the panels7.
For a country like India where there is plenty of sunlight, solar power makes a lot of sense. Again, deserts may be hostile environments for installing and maintaining such projects, but these projects minimise the opportunity cost of using land for creating solar power. For an emerging economy with a large population and substantial energy needs, such projects also reduce the country’s dependence on fossil fuel imports, a great outcome for both the environment as well as the economy.
Dezhou Dingzhuang Floating Solar Farm, China
The Dezhou Dingzhuang Floating Solar Farm in Dezhou, China is the largest floating solar farm in the world. The solar panels float on a reservoir in Shandong – an eastern province of China on the Yellow Sea. The total capacity of this project is 320 megawatts (MW). It is also connected with 8 megawatt hours (MWh) of battery storage and a 100 MW wind farm which together make up the Huaneng Dezhou Dingzhuang Integrated Wind and Solar Energy Storage project8.
Floating solar offers numerous benefits, including maximising land use efficiency, conserving water resources by reducing evaporation, improving solar panel efficiency through cooling effects, and enhancing grid stability by being located closer to where the demand is.
A final word
Renewable energy projects are becoming bolder, more innovative, and being built with a greater sense of urgency. This has exciting implications for the renewable energy value chain. For example, more modules need to be manufactured so they can be installed in large solar farms around the world. Wind turbines, which are becoming bigger and bigger, need to be manufactured at scale to establish onshore and offshore wind farms. Hydrogen electrolysers are required to produce green hydrogen and fuel cells are needed to use green hydrogen as a fuel source. Similarly, when wind turbines or solar modules float on water, specific components are needed to make that happen. All of this creates promising opportunities for investors in the renewable energy value chain.

Clean Science Buy OpportunityAs per my analysis NSE:CLEAN has given a clear breakout above level of 1385.15. Now buyers will wait to take fresh entry at retest level of 1386 with stop loss of 1280 (-106 points risk). My expected upside target would be 1453 (+67), 1494 (+108) & 1546 (+160).
It may take 3-5 weeks to get final target.
Note: This is my personal analysis, only to learn stock market behavior. Thanks
Clean Science & Technology Ltd Trend AnalysisFundamentally sound, debt free but little overvalued.
In my opinion the higher degree corrective move is over now as per the wave counts highlighted (WXY).
Currently price is forming a higher high and higher low formation which confirms trend reversal.
RSI showing bullish divergence on daily TF and many other confluences you can observe in my chart.
The wave form is most likely to be an ABC wave with a target around 1980.
Good to buy at CMP for short term target of 1980 (50% ROI & 7:1 R:R)
Stop loss below 1225 (optional)
Do your own due diligence before taking any action.
Peace!!
Plug PowerThis is a 2-month chart (each candle represents a 2-month period) of Plug Power (PLUG). For those who are not already familiar, PLUG is an alternative energy company that develops and manufactures hydrogen fuel cell systems.
I recently added PLUG to my portfolio as a long-term investment. In my opinion, it has one of the best long-term charts of any stock right now in terms of the potential for outsized gains in the future. I will explain my reasoning below.
Chart Analysis
The 2-month chart below shows the entire price history of PLUG.
Throughout much of its history, PLUG was resisted by the EMA ribbon (yellow and red lines). The EMA ribbon is a collection of exponential moving averages that act as resistance when price reaches it from below and support when price reaches it from above.
If we zoom in (see below), we can see that the EMA has tightened together and PLUG's price is now sitting right on the ribbon. When moving averages tighten like this, they can act as fairly strong support when the price falls to the moving averages from above.
Each time PLUG's price has fallen below these moving averages buyers have stepped in, thus causing lower wicks to form. This suggests the market is validating the support of these moving averages.
We can see in the chart below that the moving averages held as support even as the Stochastic RSI oscillated down. This is bullish.
Indeed, PLUG is forming a bull flag pattern on the log-scale, higher-timeframe chart. A bull flag of this nature can signal a potentially lucrative investment opportunity.
For those who read my post on using the money supply to gauge whether an asset is wealth-building, you would know that before entering a long-term investment position in PLUG one should first analyze the asset's chart relative to the money supply. (I've linked to this post in the related ideas below)
In the above chart, we see the performance of PLUG relative to the money supply (M2SL). This chart tells us that throughout much of its history, PLUG was a wealth-losing investment asset since the stock's price moved down over time relative to the money supply. The EMA ribbon largely acted as resistance.
However, the chart above shows that the moving averages are tightening together and that PLUG's price is consolidating within these tightening moving averages. This is a quite bullish sign. If a breakout occurs, an investment in PLUG could prove to be quite lucrative.
In the chart below, I apply Fibonacci levels to the length of the pole that forms the bull flag. We can see a perfect Fibonacci retracement is occurring, as price is finding support at the 0.618 level on the log-adjusted chart.
If the bull flag breaks out and a full Fibonacci spiral occurs, PLUG's price can move dramatically higher in the months and years to come.
In the below chart, I construct the Fibonacci levels using the all-time peak to all-time low. I drew projection arrows to show two plausible growth possibilities.
On a more complex, mathematical analysis, PLUG appears to be priming itself to "jump S-curves".
For a more in-depth analysis on what "jumping S-curves" means, you can read my post on the topic linked below. In short, I explain that price action can be graphically represented as a logistic function. Jumping an S-curve occurs when an inflection point is reached whereafter price begins to explode higher at a nearly exponential rate.
When the price of a company's stock jumps S-curves, there is usually some major impetus with regard to its earnings or profitability that occurs. For PLUG, that impetus could be hydrogen finally becoming a cost-effective form of energy. Hydrogen power is poised to benefit from multiple tailwinds in the years ahead: (1) Higher energy costs are driving capital into the development of alternative energy forms; (2) The transition to sustainable energy will drive investment capital into alternative forms of energy, including hydrogen fuel cells; (3) As hydrogen fuel cells gain massive adoption hydrogen power will become more cost-competitive.
My strategy with PLUG is to accumulate shares in my brokerage and retirement accounts up to a certain defined percentage. I can only ever lose 100% of that defined percentage of my portfolio if I am wrong, but if my analysis is right, the gains may reach as much as 8,000% over the course of years. I know most people on here trade on much shorter timeframes than years, but my opinion is that the greatest wealth-building occurs by staying invested over the long term.
Below are some interesting comparable charts. PLUG's current chart looks similar to Monster's chart in 2000 and AMD's chart in 2018.
What's remarkable about these charts is how little of an effect even recessions had on the stocks' price movements. In the case of Monster, its price remained generally flat, despite the S&P 500 experiencing major declines during the early 2000s recession. In the case of AMD, one of the worst stock market crashes in history (March 2020) is barely apparent on its chart. This lends hope that even if the U.S. or global economy experiences a recession in the years ahead and the S&P 500 declines, perhaps stocks like PLUG will be less affected.

As always, trade at your own risk. Anything can happen and my analysis can prove completely wrong. Feel free to leave constructive thoughts in the comments below. Thank you.
we still have a 10% profit chance!I don't know why I am always late but we still have a 10% profit chance on this one it's on daily frame so it may take a while and the dotted green line is profit booking price, you can go for higher target but I strongly suggest you to book your profits at the green line or change the stop loss to the entry price so even if something goes wrong you don't lose much;)
The BEST Chart Colours For Trading With!I often used to struggle with how to find the best chart colours to trade with but I never could quite pick between clear white or clear black. It's an often overlooked topic but when clarity, contrast, sharpness all depend on how well you see patterns, candles or your preferred techniques, it's one of the most crucial. So here's what I found out:
White is a no-go for various reasons. Firstly, it's a very bright and sharp colour that will be the focus of your eye. Secondly, depending on your laptop/PC it can be very bright, leading you to turn down brightness further reducing your vision. It's not great at night either to check the charts for an hour before bed and your screen is blinding.
Black is also a no-go as it's the exact opposite of my last point. It blends in to easily to the background leaving you feeling as if there's not enough brightness when your candles are often a darker colour also. If your laptop/PC monitor is a mid-lower end, it won't have the brightness to really pop out and if it's not an OLED panel you will also find the black isn't true black, but more of a dark grey. Not a good idea...
So this brings me to the holy grail which is: GREYSCALE!
A lot of people don't realise this but 1 in 8 men and 1 in 200 women, a total 5% of the population are colour deficient which means you have a difficulty with certain colours, differentiating certain colours and similar conditions. By setting your background to greyscale, it's a natural base colour everybody can see, it's easy on the eyes and most importantly it provides a certain contrast between the candles and the background that I never quite got with other charts.
By setting your candles to simple black borders/outlines and green/red fill, you get a really nice looking chart! Then you want your indicators and chart objects to be a sharp colour, so it really stands out, like yellow or white.
This is how you get a great looking chart so you can really see what's going on!
$USWS - A Cleaner Way To FrackAnother oil play. With a slightly greener way to frack in the spotlight.
U.S. Well Services, LLC, provides high-pressure, hydraulic fracturing services in unconventional oil and natural gas basins. Both our conventional (diesel) and Clean Fleet® (electric) hydraulic fracturing fleets are among the most reliable and highest performing fleets in the industry, with the capability to meet the most demanding pressure and pump rate requirements in the industry.
Considering the Russin oil embargo, this company should receive positive gains from companies needing equipment to frack heading forward. They also have a cleaner model that may be attractive to drillers.
The company cut a new deal as recently as a week ago. "Olympus Energy, U.S. Well Services finalize electric frac contract"
"“At Olympus, we actively seek out opportunities for improvement. The commitment to USWS’s Clean Fleet technology is a prime example of the team’s continuous efforts to reduce our environmental footprint, increase operational efficiency, and lessen any potential short-term impacts for the communities where we operate,” Mike Wahl, Olympus senior vice president and COO, said. “We’re proud to announce this partnership with USWS and to leverage their leading technology into our 2022 development program.”
The fact that USWS has moved toward a cleaner model will be attractive to investors in these drilling and fracking companies.
Special buying point - GBPAUDI can feel something powerful about this point because three trendlines crosses. Two of the trendlines are bullish and we got a strong demand zone thats why the market might be better for buys. It's 14 days until the price might react within the strong spot. Until then you can buy and sell back and forth if the price reacts to the trendlines .
CLEAN SCIENCE & TECH - RETEST & REVERSALThe analysis is done on daily TF hence price may take few days to few weeks in order to reach the targets.
Trade setup is explained in image itself.
The above analysis is purely for educational purpose. Traders must do their own study & follow risk management before entering into any trade

Extremely Clean Aud/Jpy Re-cap Please see our above trade on Aud/Jpy posted on 21st November 2021 link below.
Lets break down why we took this trade and how you could have identified this the same.
Starting from the Daily timeframe we identified a daily descending channel which was broken and retested on September 21st. We then started a bullish move towards the previous swing high made on the 10th May 2021. This area was clearly rejected on the daily time frame and then exhaustion followed.
Moving down onto the 4hr chart.
We identified the 4hr ascending trend line that was keeping the bullish move alive and one which we would then use to give ourselves confluence that the bullish move had ended and we could be looking for short positions. After our ascending trend was broken this gave us more confluence and we then moved on to identifying so key market structure and some exhaustion.
This all took place straight out the textbook and we then used the EMA's and descending trend to capatilise on this move to the downside.
To see more set ups like this in advance give the page a follow and if you agree with our ideas hit the thumbs up. If you have a different view point leave a comment below, after all everyday is a learning day.
Have a wonderful weekend.

UUUU Clean Green Energy PlayWIth all the hype about green energy, the only sustainable and reliable form of clean energy is nuclear (maybe hydro but thats another story). Nuclear Power plants have not been meddled with for about 40 years. Many of those which are being decommissioned (???). Solar and wind produce more toxic waste to the environment when compared to nuclear. Which nuclear waste goes into safe long term storage in water pools at the power plant or in a dry cask. This "used" up fuel can be reprocessed and used again. Spot price of uranium being at some low spot, the ability to buy and hold millions of pounds of uranium, and Sprott adding physical uranium to markets (SRUUF) is a big win for the long term bullish cycle coming into these uranium/energy plays.
$CHPT July Update*This is not financial advice, so trade at your own risks*
*My team digs deep and finds stocks that are expected to perform well based off multiple confluences*
*Experienced traders understand the uphill battle in timing the market, so instead my team focuses mainly on risk management*
Recap: My team has been swing trading EV sector tyrant $chpt for the past couple months. In this time-span it has continued to bounce from its $20 support zone . The potential is undeniable for an established EV company like $chpt. There is also an impressive amount of option calls which suggests bullish momentums. We recognized the bullish price action of $CHPT and averaged up from our original entry of $22 at $24.35 on 5/30/21.
$CHPT currently sits at $28.01 per share.
My team planned to average up one last time on $CHPT if the opportunity presented itself...that time has come
My team bought more $CHPT shares today at $27.80 per share. This is our 3rd and final entry.
We have also raised our initial take profit to $41 per share.

BUY GEVO to target +100% gainHello, they produce bio fuel, and needed 700mln$ for build thier first non-carbon station to use carbon for create non-carbon fuel, so the Citi discussing them to give money, that only have 70mln now.
If citi go "all in" the stock will double. Ressistance to 3$, there good to double.
My view it's 1-2% deal of all protfolio not much, too risky, idea just to have stock +100% at 2-3 month. Be cautious.
REGI UpdateTook a hit on this.
Still holding.
Falling wedge. Hoping for target over 80.
Looks oversold.
67$ looks to be the bottom.
