Trump Axes 6.2GW “Vegas-Sized” Solar Farm in Nevada – Renewable Energy Industry Reels

The Bureau of Land Management on Oct. 10 listed the Esmeralda 7 solar project in Nevada as cancelled. The project would have spanned 185 square miles and generated up to 6,200 MW. The Interior Department under Secretary Doug Burgum now requires developers to submit individual proposals instead of a single review. Conservationists welcomed the move; clean-energy groups called it a setback for renewables.

Oregon Scrambles to Save Green Projects as Trump’s Tax Credit Axe Falls

Oregon Scrambles to Save Green Projects as Trump’s Tax Credit Axe Falls

Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek ordered state agencies to fast-track permits for wind and solar projects so they can start construction by July 4, 2026, ahead of expiring federal tax credits. The Trump-backed “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” accelerates the phaseout of these incentives, putting at least 9–11 major Oregon projects at risk. Oregon could lose about 4 gigawatts of planned renewables if deadlines are missed.

  • NIO Shares Decline Amid Mixed Valuation Signals After Recent Gains
    May 3, 2026, 1:26 PM EDT. Shares of Chinese electric vehicle maker NIO (NYSE:NIO) dipped 7.5% in the past day, following a 6.2% monthly decline after a strong 30.8% rally over three months. The stock closed at $5.91, valuing the company around $14.8 billion. Investor debate centers on whether NIO's current price underestimates its growth potential or fairly reflects risks including ongoing losses and fierce competition. The prevailing analyst narrative sets a fair value at $6.24, implying shares are 5.3% undervalued based on expected revenue growth and improved profitability. However, a discounted cash flow (DCF) model from Simply Wall St estimates fair value at $4.44, suggesting overvaluation. NIO remains a high-risk, high-reward play in the competitive electric vehicle space, with significant questions over its path to sustainable profitability.
