Half of investors see energy and environment deals collapse amid sustainability risks
In layman's terms this means half of the money people bet on rebuildable energy companies has gone up in smoke. If you bet big on renewables, you have lost big!

With marked policy shifts and regulatory uncertainty impacting the energy and environment sectors, many deals have fallen through – particularly when pertaining to sustainability companies. New data from S-RM shows that 53% of investors have seen an energy and environment infrastructure deal collapse in the past three years.

These comments have marked a wider shift in how governments go about supporting – or undermining – the sustainability segment. The US administration’s partial rollback of its prior focus on renewables has had a significant financial impact on many renewable energy investors and developers. Meanwhile, in Europe, the pushback from far-right figures, landowners and farmers has led to a stop-start approach to enacting flagship ESG legislation, which has also impacted portfolio companies’ bottom lines.
Amid this, S-RM has surveyed 150 global infrastructure investors, across emerging and developed markets in the infrastructure sector, including its four strategically important sub-sectors: transport and logistics, energy and environment, digital and telecoms, and social infrastructure. And the researchers found that the uncertainty in the space meant that 53% majority of investors reported that deals in the energy and environment infrastructure sector had collapsed, due to sustainability risks in the past three years.

The only problem with that narrative is that while there has been a surge in *fascist* popularity, the Leftist parties are still in control in all those Euro nations. And as for Amewica, well the offshore was collapsing well before Trump was elected, as was the overpriced solar. For the last two decades in fact Amerwica has been one of the world leaders in failed solar thermal plants, failed solar manufacturers "Solyndra etc".
