(DCNF)—Shares of the Biden administration-backed Sunnova Energy International Inc. plummeted over 50% after the green energy company announced substantial doubt that it can stay in business on Monday.
Barron’s reported that the company’s stock crashed by 64%, down to 60 cents per share, after Sunnova wrote in a statement that its “unrestricted cash, cash flows from operating activities and availability and commitments under existing financing agreements are not sufficient to meet obligations and fund operations.”
Sunnova also announced that “substantial doubt exists regarding our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least one year from the date we issue our consolidated financial statements.”
The Houston-based company is known for providing several energy services, including solar panels and EV chargers. The company marketed renewable energy as a reliable and superior source. “Life is unpredictable. Your power shouldn’t be,” the struggling power company’s website reads.
The Washington Free Beacon reported that the Biden administration awarded Sunnova a $3 billion partial loan guarantee in 2023, which it dubbed “the largest federal loan to a solar company in history.” The Beacon also noted that the company has been accused of scamming dementia patients into signing on decades-long solar panel leases.
“The fourth quarter of 2024 was a challenging time for our industry,” John Berger, Sunnova’s chief executive officer, told Bloomberg. “Stubbornly high interest rates, along with regulatory and political uncertainties, made both consumers and capital providers more cautious.”
Congress and the Trump administration announced plans to cut the tax credits that Sunnova was counting on, according to Bloomberg.
Bloomberg also reported that Sunnova’s shares used to trade for as much as $50, and that the company’s market value has shrunk from $4.5 billion in 2020 to approximately $208 million by the end of February 2025.
“The overall environment is terrible,” Berger told Bloomberg. “That just gets everybody in a very bad mood.”

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
