More evidence that renewable energy is a poor investment
Fuel Fix:
NRG Energy reported a $72 million net loss for the third quarter, a sharp reversal of the $171 million gain the power company that both generates and sells electricity reported one year earlier.If renewable energy is the future why does it keep losing money for investors?
