Does RBC have an industry group that works with renewable energy companies?
Title says it all. Don't need a long answer. On the energy page online it says just oil & gas so I'm assuming it's not that group. Maybe industrial and diversified? PU&I? or would it be under technology? Just want a definitive answer. Thanks in advance!

I'm curious if anyone has information on the renewables/sustainability/cleantech coverage groups in Canada. I know that CIBC has been focusing on this more recently, as have RBC and Barclays. Any clear winners yet? Standout MDs or banks?
Renewables valuations have gotten out of hand
Literally what the topic title says, it is getting beyond out of hand at this point. I came into this sector to value REAL Assets not an imaginary pipeline that is 60% "it might reach COD 5+ years from now", every major investor wants a platform for their ESG targets and that's great, COP 2069 for...

CohnReznick Capital Info
After beginning my career in energy (primarily o&g) I've become far more interested in moving to a firm focused exclusively in the renewables space.

Foot in the door
All, I'd love to get some feedback on a few things. Quick spiel: started as a finance major (3.75) but I changed to mech eng. w/ minor in sustainable energy tech (now have 3.2). I knew from friends and family that I could easily teach myself modeling and accounting principles, but not the quant...
Staying Ahead of the Curve - Renewable Energy Future?
Many of the finance / investing magnates got their big break by being ahead of the curve or simply being in the right place at the right time. If you were a trader at a bank in the mid 70s, you likely made a boatload of money in the 80s when that business took off. Similar situation to when...

Cleantech IB (and exit to PE, perhaps)
Going to keep this short. What are people's opinions on cleantech IB? Any thoughts on places like Greentech Capital Advisors or ThinkGreen! for example? I'm extremely focused and dedicated to IB -- but I'm trying to specialize into cleantech/renewables because it's been an interest of mine for quite...
Does Shale gas boom mean the end to renewables?
Given the rapid drop in cost of Natural gas, where do you see the future of renewable energy? Is it sensible to invest in that technology given the tremendous reserves of natural gas or do you think that future technology improvements will make it cost-competitive with natural gas?

Coal and Ethanol Are Not Alternative Energy Policy
The domestic alternative energy policy in the US seems to rotate on semantics and adding words to other words to make it look like something is going on. However, the truth of the matter is, energy policy is as defunct as ever and on most fronts the US is lagging far behind. Mostly it is a disregard...
The Need for a Real Domestic Alternative Energy Policy in the USA
Alternative energy (or renewable energy) is a new manufacturing industry paradigm that is in its infancy. However, the discussion is not new, and it looks as if the United States has positioned itself to be behind history on what can be a very promising industry for a stumbling economy. After the...
