I have been digging through J.P. Morgan&#8217;s latest annual energy report. Let me tell you, it&#8217;s a bucket of cold water for anyone believing we are about to flip a switch and transform our energy system overnight.
Michael Cembalest&#8217;s 15th annual energy paper, &#8220;Heliocentrism,&#8221; offers a sobering reality check that reminds me of buying value stocks when everyone else is chasing the latest tech darling. Sometimes, the boring truth matters more than the exciting story.
Despite all the headlines and $9 trillion spent globally over the last decade on wind, solar, electric vehicles, and energy storage, the renewable transition is moving at a snail&#8217;s pace—just 0.3% to 0.6% per year in terms of final energy consumption. 
Two great income stocks show why.
This is not the exponential S-curve adoption we see in technology. This old-school, grinding industrial transition takes decades, not years. Europe leads the pack with renewable share growing at 0.6% annually, followed by China at 0.4% and the US at a measly 0.3%.
At this pace, even Europe, the global leader, needs about 20 years to reach a 30% renewable share. That is not disruption; that is evolution.
Solar capacity is indeed booming, doubling over the past three years and projected to double again by 2027. Solar accounted for about 60% of new global capacity additions this year and might hit 75% by 2027.
But here is the catch that most headlines miss: due to capacity factors of just 15-20%, solar&#8217;s actual share of electricity generation is far smaller than the capacity numbers suggest.
Solar power provides about 7% of global electricity generation today.
Electricity itself?
That is only about a third of final energy consumption in most countries. The rest is direct fuel for transport, industrial production and heating.
When you boil it all down, solar power accounts for roughly 2% of global final energy consumption. Not exactly revolutionizing the system overnight, is it?
One of the tightest economic relationships is the connection between a country&#8217;s per capita GDP and energy consumption.
Human prosperity is built on steel, cement, ammonia/fertilizer, plastics, glass, chemicals and other industrial products that are incredibly energy-intensive to produce.
These industries rely on fossil fuels for 80-85% of their energy needs. This is not changing quickly, no matter what solar capacity charts show.
LinkedIn is filled with academics posting whenever wind, solar, and hydro meet most of a region&#8217;s power demand on a particular day. It is like reading a newspaper that only reports on baseball games where catchers hit home runs.
It happens sometimes, but it is not the norm.
In California, renewables plus storage met 75% or more of the load in only 26% of all hours in 2024. California still heavily relies on fossil fuels, nuclear power, and electricity imports for most of the year.
The situation is better in Europe, particularly Spain, where renewables provide at least half the load in 76% of all hours. But even there, the remaining hours require conventional power sources.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Economics Are Not There Yet</h2>
Another cold reality: Electricity still costs 2-4 times more per unit of energy than natural gas for industrial consumers across countries. This explains why the electricity share of US industrial energy consumption has remained flat for decades despite advances in technology.
The economic gap slows electrification, which in turn slows decarbonization. Without electrification, it is hard to decarbonize energy-intensive industries using green grid electrons.
The Trump administration is clearly shifting priorities away from renewables to fossil fuels, national security, and inflation fighting.
This will likely mean scaled-back renewable subsidies, potentially reducing the energy bill by as much as $650 billion, about two-thirds of the original projected costs.
While this shift will not halt the renewable transition, it will likely slow its already gradual pace in the US.
For investors, the message is clear: Despite the excitement around clean energy, traditional energy is not going anywhere soon.
Human prosperity will remain inextricably linked to affordable natural gas and other fossil fuels for many years.
This does not mean avoiding renewable investments (they are growing steadily), but it does suggest maintaining exposure to traditional energy companies with strong balance sheets and reasonable valuations. The transition is happening on a timeline measured in decades, not years.
Remember, in markets as in energy transitions, patience and perspective are virtues that pay dividends. The infrastructure supporting our daily lives changes more like a battleship turning than a sports car—gradually, deliberately, and with tremendous momentum in both directions.
Let me tell you something that Wall Street&#8217;s green energy cheerleaders will not. Midstream oil and gas assets will be critical infrastructure for the next half-century, regardless of how many solar panels we install.
Pipelines, storage facilities, processing plants and terminals represent the circulatory system of our energy economy, and their importance will not diminish anytime soon.
With global energy demand projected to rise another 25% by 2050, according to conservative estimates, these assets will continue generating steady cash flows and dividends while the renewable transition inches forward at its glacial pace.
The beauty of midstream assets lies in their toll-road business model. They get paid based on volume, not commodity prices. While upstream producers ride the rollercoaster of oil and gas prices, these midstream workhorses collect their fees regardless of whether a barrel of oil costs $40 or $140.
This is precisely why smart investors seeking income and inflation protection should maintain significant exposure to these assets.
Companies with irreplaceable pipeline routes, long-term contracts with inflation adjustments, and strategic export terminals will continue rewarding shareholders with distributions that dwarf treasury yields for decades to come.
Perhaps most importantly, these midstream assets will serve as the bridge between our fossil fuel present and whatever energy future eventually materializes. Looking at the actual data instead of wishful thinking, it is clear that natural gas, which requires extensive midstream infrastructure, will remain critical not just for baseload power generation but as the essential backup for intermittent renewable sources.
Even as renewable capacity grows, the need for reliable gas delivery during Dunkelflaute events (those periods of low wind and solar output) becomes more critical, not less.
&nbsp;The companies that own and operate this infrastructure are not dinosaurs awaiting extinction—they are adaptable energy logistics specialists whose assets will be repurposed and utilized throughout any transition, however long it takes.
Using our new Benzinga Ranking system and the scanning tool on Benzinga Pro, I found two of the best collections of midstream assets that are trading at bargain-basement prices.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Energy Transfer</h2>
Energy Transfer (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ET#NYSE">ET</a>) represents exactly the kind of misunderstood, undervalued asset I&#8217;ve built my career finding before Wall Street wakes up. This midstream behemoth operates over 125,000 miles of pipeline infrastructure that touches virtually every major U.S. energy basin. While the ESG crowd has been busy shunning anything with fossil fuel exposure, ET has been quietly throwing off mountains of cash flow, trading at a ridiculous 8.2x price to free cash flow ratio, a valuation you typically only see during financial crises, not economic expansions.
The company&#8217;s 7.04% dividend yield is not just substantial; it is sustainable and growing, backed by distribution coverage above 1.7x. This is not your typical yield trap; it is an ATM for patient investors.
What most analysts miss about Energy Transfer is how its integrated asset footprint creates operational synergies that standalone operators simply cannot match. From natural gas gathering in the Permian to NGL fractionation to crude and refined product transportation, ET&#8217;s diversified operations provide multiple paths to growth regardless of which hydrocarbons dominate the energy mix.
Management has learned the hard lessons of overexpansion and now focuses on optimizing existing assets, reducing debt, and returning capital to unit holders. The inevitable consequence will be multiple expansions as the market finally recognizes that ET is not just surviving the energy transition.
&nbsp;It is positioned to facilitate whatever form it ultimately takes.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Plains All American Pipeline</h2>
Plains All American Pipeline (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PAA#NASDAQ">PAA</a>) is North America&#8217;s premier crude oil logistics provider, with strategically positioned assets throughout the continent&#8217;s most productive basins.
With approximately 7.5x free cash flow and a robust 7.6% dividend yield, PAA offers the value proposition that has historically generated substantial returns for investors willing to look past the anti-hydrocarbon narrative.
What separates Plains from its peers is its unmatched crude oil gathering and transportation network in the Permian Basin—the crown jewel of U.S. oil production that continues defying pessimistic forecasts year after year.
This focused strategy gives PAA exceptional leverage to continued Permian growth without the capital expenditure burdens that plague many competitors.
The company&#8217;s management team has significantly transformed over the past few years, reducing debt by billions and streamlining operations to focus on its core competencies.
Unlike many midstream operators who overextended during the shale boom, Plains has right-sized its operation and balance sheet to withstand market volatility while maintaining its generous payouts. The market continues to price PAA as if U.S. oil production is on the verge of permanent decline, ignoring the reality that America&#8217;s oil output continues to set records even as renewables grow.
For income investors seeking both current yield and potential capital appreciation, Plains offers the rare combination of deep value, operational excellence, and strategically vital assets that will remain essential infrastructure regardless of how quickly or slowly the energy transition unfolds. This is not speculation—it is investing in the physical assets needed to meet energy demands for decades to come.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

Shares of energy companies are trading higher amid ongoing volatility, possibly concerning tariff delays, global conflict and recent OPEC+ production.

Scotiabank Maintains Sector Outperform on Plains All American, Lowers Price Target to $22

Wall Street slumped into negative territory late in the week as renewed fears over inflation and trade <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">tariffs eroded risk appetite. </a>
The first warning sign came from the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment survey, which revealed an "unusually large" spike in inflation expectations. The one-year inflation outlook surged by a full percentage point to 4.3%, marking its highest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43564020/consumer-sentiment-sinks-economist-flags-unusually-large-rise-in-inflation-perception">level since November 2023. </a>
Investor uncertainty grew following President Donald Trump's announcement that &#8216;reciprocal tariffs&#8217; would take effect next week. Trump is expected to sign new executive orders at 2:00 p.m. Friday.
On the macro front, February&#8217;s jobs report revealed a mixed outcome, with employment growth slowing down more than expected, yet unemployment fell more than expected, and wages surged more than expected.
Market reaction was swift. The S&amp;P 500 fell 0.6%, erasing its weekly gains, while the Nasdaq 100 dropped 0.9% by 1:00 p.m. trading in New York. 
The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped into negative territory for the week, putting its three-week winning streak at risk. Small-cap stocks underperformed, with the Russell 2000 sinking 1.3%. 
Stock-wise, Uber Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NASDAQ">UBER</a>) skyrocketed by 9.5%, extending its 8.6% rally from the previous session, after hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman revealed a stake of 30.3 million shares in the ride-hailing giant.
In currency and bond markets, the U.S. dollar index – tracked by the Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>) – rallied following the tariff headlines, while Treasury yields climbed higher. The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) dropped 0.8%, reflecting renewed pressure on long-duration bonds. 
Gold took a breather, retreating under pressure from a stronger dollar. Meanwhile, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) erased early session gains, slipping from an intraday high of $100,000 to $97,500.

Wall Street Drops On Tariffs Threat, Dollar Rises, Uber Rockets On Ackman's Tweet: What's Driving Markets Friday?

Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PAA#NASDAQ">PAA</a>) reported&nbsp;fourth-quarter&nbsp;revenue of&nbsp;$12.402 billion,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/g43556573/plains-all-american-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2024-results-provides-update-on-efficient" rel="noreferrer noopener">missing the consensus of&nbsp;$13.742 billion</a>.
Adjusted EPS was 42 cents, flat year-over-year,<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener"> beating the consensus of 40 cents</a>.
The adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA fell 1% Y/Y to $729 million. The Crude Oil Segment Adjusted EBITDA rose 1% Y/Y to $569 million on higher tariff volumes, escalations, and contributions from acquisitions.
NGL segment Adjusted EBITDA fell&nbsp;9%&nbsp;YoY to&nbsp;$154 million&nbsp;due to lower weighted average frac spreads.
The company ended the year with a 3.0x leverage ratio. PAA&#8217;s operating cash flow for the year was&nbsp;$2.49 billion&nbsp;compared to&nbsp;$2.73 billion. Adjusted free cash flow was&nbsp;$1.25 billion in the year.
2025 Outlook: Plains All American sees adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA of&nbsp;$2.80 billion &#8211; $2.95 billion, with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">adjusted free cash flow of $1.15 billion</a>. This includes a reduction of around $580 million due to previously announced bolt-on transactions completed in the first quarter.
As announced earlier, the company disclosed distribution increase of $0.25 per unit payable February 14, 2025, representing a 20% aggregate increase in the annualized distribution vs.2024 levels, leading to new <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/42864671" rel="noreferrer noopener">annual distribution of $1.52 per unit.</a>
Plains All American expects the leverage ratio to be at or below the low end of the leverage target range of 3.25x to 3.75x.
The company targets growth capital of around $400 million and maintenance capital of about $240 million, net to PAA.
Willie Chiang, Chairman and CEO of Plains said, &#8220;We remain confident entering 2025, with strong operational momentum and focus on executing our efficient growth strategy. Our strong performance and positive outlook combined with the contribution from recent bolt-on acquisitions continues driving meaningful cash flow and underpins increasing returns to unitholders all while maintaining capital discipline and financial flexibility.&#8221;
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;InfraCap MLP ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZA#NYSE">AMZA</a>) and&nbsp;Alerian MLP ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMLP#NYSE">AMLP</a>).

Insights From Analysts
Sonu Varghese, VP global Macro Strategist at Carson Global, allayed concerns that the U.S. government jobs cut undertaken by Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will hamper the labor market.
"Irrespective of what happens, or does not happen, the turnover in federal government payrolls is going to be tiny compared to what's happening in the overall labor market," he said.
He added that even if the Trump administration laid off everyone except those in Veteran Affairs and crucial defense-related areas, the churn would still be 1.2 million workers – less than an average of 3.4 million workers who quit jobs every month during the fourth quarter.

Top Wall Street Forecasters Revamp Plains All American Pipeline Price Expectations Ahead Of Q4 Earnings

Plains All American's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PAA#NYSE">PAA</a>) short percent of float has risen 3.96% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 14.65 million shares sold short, which is 3.15% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.12 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Plains All American has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Plains All American's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Plains All American's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.54%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
