The recent sell-off in renewable energy stocks might be an opportunity to get in cheap, analysts at UBS said this week. They wrote in a note on Thursday that US and EU renewables have jumped to their top-ranking stock theme in recent weeks after the sector saw steep losses in the wake of 's election win. Now, with a cheap point of entry and huge and growing demand for power, it might be time to jump into the space, the analysts said. "The environment of an unrelenting power demand shock puts just about every source of power generation in a solid position to capitalize. Against a backdrop where positioning was not overweight, it seems the sentiment-driven downdraft presents an attractive entry point," the analysts said in a Wednesday note. The analysts said their optimism about surging power demand comes from rapid growth in AI and data center buildouts to power the technology. need a huge amount of power to operate, and their is set to exceed supply in just two years, according to a recent estimate from Bernstein Research. The analysts suggested that data centers' outsized power needs mean they will likely need energy from all available sourcs, including renewables. "The rapid growth in AI and the subsequent Data Center buildout have resulted in an unrelenting demand for increased power generation. This, combined with continued emphasis on the importance of low-carbon solutions from Hyperscalers should pave the way for continued growth in Renewables," they said. The analysts' call comes as Trump's win has sent tumbling, even as much of the rest of the market has on the promise of lower taxes and less regulation. Stocks like Plug Power and Enphase Energy have shed over 24% since the election, while SolarEdge Technologies has plunged 42%. The President-elect, who said he wants to "drill baby, drill," is expected to scale back many of the Biden administration's clean-energy initiatives, including billions of dollars in solar and wind subsidies that were part of the Inflation Reduction Act. But the analysts said that investors' worst fears about the sector likely won't be realized. Companies using Biden-era subsidies could "grandfather" in support at the start of construction rather than risk losing it during a project, and states will likely continue to aim for lower emissions, they say. "We think that the concerns are overdone. In the view of our US utilities analyst, growth in renewables is likely to continue (solar installs were +50% in Trump's last term, compared to the previous 4 years) driven by state and corporate emission goals," the analysts said. Within the sector, the analysts said names poised for gains include US renewables stocks like NextEra and Generac, plus European stocks like Iberdrola, Siemens Energy, EDP, and developers like Ørsted and RWE.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A team that previously boycotted at least one match against the San Jose State women's volleyball program will again be faced with the decision whether to play the school , this time in the Mountain West Conference semifinals with a shot at the NCAA Tournament on the line. Five schools forfeited matches in the regular season against San Jose State, which carried a No. 2 seed into the conference tournament in Las Vegas. Among those schools: No. 3 Utah State and No. 6 Boise State, who will face off Wednesday with the winner scheduled to play the Spartans in the semifinals on Friday. Wyoming, Nevada and Southern Utah — which is not a Mountain West member — also canceled regular-season matches, all without explicitly saying why they were forfeiting. Nevada players cited fairness in women’s sports as a reason to boycott their match, while political figures from Wyoming, Idaho, Utah and Nevada suggested the cancellations center around protecting women’s sports. In a lawsuit filed against the NCAA , plaintiffs cited unspecified reports asserting there was a transgender player on the San Jose State volleyball team, even naming her. While some media have reported those and other details, neither San Jose State nor the forfeiting teams have confirmed the school has a trans women’s volleyball player. The Associated Press is withholding the player’s name because she has not publicly commented on her gender identity and through school officials has declined an interview request. A judge on Monday rejected a request made by nine current conference players to block the San Jose State player from competing in the tournament on grounds that she is transgender. That ruling was upheld Tuesday by an appeals court. “The team looks forward to starting Mountain West Conference tournament competition on Friday,” San Jose State said in a statement issued after the appeals court decision. “The university maintains an unwavering commitment to the participation, safety and privacy of all students at San Jose State and ensuring they are able to compete in an inclusive, fair and respectful environment.” Boise State did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday. “Utah State is reviewing the court’s order," Doug Hoffman, Aggies associate athletic director for communications, said in an email. "Right now, our women’s volleyball program is focused on the game this Wednesday, and we’ll be cheering them on.” San Jose State, which had a first-round bye, would be sent directly to the conference title game if Utah State or Boise State were to forfeit again. If the Spartans make the title game, it's likely the opponent would not forfeit. They would face top-seeded Colorado State, No. 4 Fresno State or No. 5 San Diego State — all teams that played the Spartans this season. The conference champion receives an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. AP college sports: https://apnews.com/hub/college-sports

JERUSALEM (AP) — A new round of Israeli airstrikes in Yemen on Thursday targeted the Houthi rebel-held capital and multiple ports, while the World Health Organization's director-general said the bombardment occurred nearby as he prepared to board a flight in Sanaa, with a crew member injured. “The air traffic control tower, the departure lounge — just a few meters from where we were — and the runway were damaged,” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on the social media platform X.

The annual task of finding a gift for her is upon us and, in 2024, it feels harder than ever with the goal to succeed last year’s present and stick within the criteria she’s set out. Yes, even if she hasn’t made a hard and fast list, we can assure you there are rules. For starters, don’t buy her a deodorant duo, because telling her she needs to freshen up is not the way to her heart...

For the adventurous aunt, the self-care sister and that special someone you want to surprise, our edit of jewellery, sleepwear and more will make the impossible possible. Scroll on for our top picks from the likes of Lounge and Aspinall, and make sure to read carefully – there are quite the array of deals to be capitalised on, too. Happy shopping! Many of us will remember the early days of Lounge – circa 2017 – when we’d eagerly await the latest lingerie drop (in anticipation of a sell-out) but, in 2024, the brand has come a long way with its myriad of loungewear, pyjamas and more. Back in its inaugural years, you likely would have lusted after Lounge’s logo-adorned bras and panties and, while you’ll still be able to secure those same pieces (like the Zalia plunge bra, £45, Lounge.com ), you might be surprised to discover a selection of more timeless and understated designs, like the sparkle satin robe (£80, Lounge.com ) or the confess balcony bra (£45, Lounge.com ).

For the luxe lady, she’ll appreciate the Ella’s full-grain leather, the metal hardware and ivory stitch detailing. For the best-friend who’s always busy, the fuss-free magnetic closure will save her time while not one, not two, but three separate compartments make finding her house keys accomplishable.

WARMINGTON: Justin Trudeau ambushed at B.C. ski resort and told 'get the F' out of townHere’s How Trump Admin Could Help Crush Censorship Industry

Boston College’s offense had its moments on Saturday, converting 6 of 13 third downs and amassing 296 passing yards. BC caught Nebraska’s aggressive, blitzing defense with a few screens, coach Matt Rhule said, and Eagles’ quarterback Grayson James kept plays alive with timely scrambles. But Rhule said the Huskers' defense found its footing in the red zone — inside NU’s own 20 — by twice denying the Eagles points when they reached the Nebraska 9 and Nebraska 2. The Huskers, coordinated by John Butler, were trying to make BC attempt field goals. Boston College only attempted four all season, and missed its fifth try early in Saturday’s game. From thereon, BC went for its fourth downs in NU territory. It did not successfully convert one. “They missed the first one, so we felt pretty good about our opportunity — hey, they’re not going to kick one, it’ll be four downs,” Rhule said. “We knew how to address it.” Eight of BC’s drives reached Nebraska territory, producing just 13 of BC’s 15 points. “We were having trouble kicking the ball, so I didn't want to kick it,” Boston College coach Bill O’Brien said. “We were in that area where you're either going to plus-50 and punt it — which we could have done, but we're not great at that — or tried to kick a 50-yard field goal, which we're definitely not ready to do that. “I went for it on 4th down and probably put the defense in a couple tough positions. Look, Nebraska did a good job. We had trouble running the ball, had trouble scoring in the red area. We moved the ball. I think at halftime we had the time of possession, we had yardage, but didn't have the score.” Get local news delivered to your inbox!
