Hidden in the hardwood forests of eastern Tennessee is a glass-and-steel American Wakanda of impulsed neutron beams, supercomputers, and atom probe microscopes. Here, at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Enrico Fermi and fellow scientists raced to develop the neutron bomb, and subsequent generations worked on the world’s-fastest computers, helped develop nuclear submarines and advanced spacecraft, analyzed greenhouse gas emissions, and made world-changing discoveries such as ribonucleic acid and the role of the Y chromosome.

They say it’s lonely at the top.
For France’s Total, years of dominance on the oil patch are over, say analysts at Cowen, who downgraded the company to market perform from outperform in a note to clients on Tuesday. Jason Gabelman and George Kuhle say they continue to like Total’s strategy, but it faces a tougher two years ahead.
“TOT is trading at an elevated premium versus peers while we expect its balance sheet advantage to shrink to in-line with peers. Production growth will slow after leading the group while nonproductive capex rises,” says the pair.

The coming year will be big for hydrogen-based technologies and bring with it plenty of good news for shares of Ballard Power Systems, a Raymond James analyst predicts.
In a Monday report, analyst Michael Glen described 2021 as a “watershed moment in the history of the hydrogen economy.” He expects an accelerating number of hydrogen-related announcements by companies and countries regarding hydrogen technology and its ability to wean the world off fuels that generate carbon dioxide. ...

Global Markets Inch Higher as U.S. Political Climate Pressures Stocks

Nasdaq Composite
gained 0.3%. The small-cap
Under the surface, the S&P 500 energy sector closed up 3.6%, financials gained 1.1%, and consumer discretionary stocks added 1.5%. Defensive utilities and health care fell 0.6% and 1.1%, respectively, while technology stocks lost 0.5%. That dynamic has more or less prevailed since the fall.
Fourth-quarter earnings season begins later this week, with several large banks kicking things off as usual. Wall Street expects S&P 500 earnings to be 12% lower in the final three months of 2020 versus the same period in 2019, according to data from Bloomberg. Sales are expected to decline 6%.
The scrutiny will be much higher for defensive and relatively pandemic-proof sectors like consumer staples or technology. Those companies’ fundamentals have held up or improved during the pandemic, and investors will want to see that continuing in the fourth quarter. For the cyclical and economically sensitive companies that have led the market since the fall, some signs of progress or optimistic management commentary about the post-pandemic future should suffice.

4 Oil Stocks to Buy for Crude's Latest Surge

Mizuho says oil stocks are ripe for a rebound.

Investors have been stressed about the possibility that oil demand has already peaked and it could be all downhill from here. The pandemic has reduced demand for oil as fewer people commute to work, and a shift to renewables will soon reduce demand for oil on a longer-term basis.
But one analyst says the doom-and-gloom may be overstated. In fact, Mizuho analyst Daniel Boyd is betting that oil companies—which have cut their drilling substantially in response to the pandemic—are actually producing too little oil now and a shortage is coming. That could lead to higher prices than the market is currently anticipating, and it could boost some stocks.
