Hillary Clinton strengthened her momentum, with a sweep of the Southern states on Super Tuesday. Democratic delegate count for Hillary = 1,121 compared to 481 for Sanders.
Republican delegate count for Trump = 382, putting him ahead of his rivals making him the favourite for the nomination.
You wouldn't really know how Super the result was for Clinton from most media headlines. That's why I like to look at the impeccably accurate Washington Post and the Guardian.
Who would make the best President for the energy industry?
Should Clinton become president, she may be inclined towards new regulations that may harm utilities, conventional energy companies, and would support environmental policies and support alternative energy - solar and wind power companies.
This suggests a negative impact on conventional energy firms and boosting prospects for investors in the alternative energy sector.
Donald Trump is on record as wanting to confront OPEC and making the U.S. energy independent. He is a vocal advocate for oil and its importance to the U.S. economy. A Trump presidency would boost prospects for investors in most conventional energy companies, with a negative impact on the alternative energy sector.
