NextEra Energy is the world's largest renewable generator but operates as a fossil-fuel utility with no climate targets after abandoning its 2045 goal in 2025. Massive operational emissions, supply chain opacity, and a pattern of anti-competitive conduct—dark money campaigns, blocking clean energy infrastructure, antitrust lawsuits—undermine any transition credibility.
