"For years, NextEra Energy boasted it was a “leading clean energy company.” Now, as renewable energy faces political opposition, it’s stopped emphasizing that."

"NextEra Energy, the world’s largest publicly traded electricity company, has systematically erased or downplayed its clean energy messaging since President Donald Trump returned to office, a potent example of the industry’s retreat from environmental positioning during his second term.

NextEra used to bill itself as a global leader in renewable energy production and the energy transition. Now, the company has adopted Trump’s “American energy dominance” language and emphasizes its “diverse” array of electricity sources—prominently, gas—as the president favors fossil fuels and castigates clean energy, Inside Climate News found in a review of NextEra’s securities filings, press releases, financial statements and website archives.

NextEra stopped describing itself as a renewable energy company to regulators last year, and its power development subsidiary overhauled its home page and environmental stewardship page to deemphasize clean energy."
