The economic sanctions on Moscow from the United States and its western allies are getting stricter and bigger as the intensity of the attacks on Ukraine is rising. President Joe Biden recently announced imposing a ban on Russian oil imports in one such attempt.The war has been leading to a spike in oil, gasoline and natural gas prices. In fact, the international benchmark, Brent crude, recently touched its highest mark of $139.13 (since July 2008). According to AAA, the national average for a gallon of regular gas increased to $4.173 on Mar 8 (as mentioned in a CNBC article). Thus, the current situation is increasing the focus on solar and clean energy spaces.Furthermore, favorable government policies, impressive renewable investments, falling overall cost of generating renewable electricity and the growing adoption of electric vehicles (EV) might keep supporting the momentum in the space in 2022.Going by a U.S. Energy Information Administration report, electricity consumption in the United States for retail sales and direct use of electricity is projected to rise 0.6% in 2022 and 1.4% in 2023. The same report forecasts electricity generation from renewable sources to rise from 20% in 2021 to 23% in 2022 and to 24% in 2023. Expanding new solar and wind capacities will make up most of the rise in renewables generation.Moreover, technological advancements, increasing investments, growing government initiatives and rising awareness across the globe about adopting clean energy have been leading to a rise in demand for renewable energy.Clean Energy ETFs That Can ShineAccording to the International Energy Agency (IEA) report, renewable energy sources are expected to make up 95% of the world’s increase in power capacity through 2026.
