I've had my eye on utility NextEra Energy (NYSE:NEE) for quite some time, but I never got around to adding it to my portfolio. That changed this week, as I finally bought shares of the clean energy giant. Here are the three main reasons why.
1. It's betting big on clean energyNextEra Energy is already the world leader in generating electricity from the wind and sun after investing tens of billions of dollars over the years to build new renewable power-generating capacity. However, the company isn't stopping while it's ahead. Instead, it's continuing to bet big on clean energy by investing $40 billion through 2020 to build new solar, wind, and storage capacity, as well as more natural gas pipelines.

Cameco Corporation (NYSE:CCJ), the largest publicly traded uranium miner, has been struggling along with the moribund price of the nuclear fuel it mines. The stock is down over 70% since commodity markets started to tumble in 2011. The early 2016 commodity upturn, meanwhile, has seemingly left uranium behind. Investors have ample reason to worry, but for more intrepid stock buyers, Cameco's low stock price could be a long-term opportunity.
