Let me give you two options. The first is ExxonMobil, a well-known oil major, with roots that can be traced back to John D. Rockefeller s Standard Oil. Its operations span every continent except Antarctica. The other is a lesser known company called NextEra, which you may or may not have heard of. They began building a renewable energy business back in the 1990s and have since become the largest producer of wind and solar energy in the US.
