China is home to some of the most polluted cities in the world, as they choke on dirty air. Its rivers are renowned as the home for deadly chemicals. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) wants to end some of that and plans to pay to do so.
Apple plans to get some of its suppliers to foot much of the bill for its China Green Energy Fund, which will eventually grow close to $300 million. Among the suppliers are Catcher Technology, Compal Electronics, Corning, Golden Arrow, Jabil, Luxshare-ICT, Pegatron, Solvay, Sunway Communication and Wistron. It is not clear what each will put into the fund, or if Apple supplies most of the money.
The scale of the plan seems large at $300 million, but on the kind of scale China represents, the investment is minimal. Apple management wrote:
The fund will invest in and develop clean energy projects totaling more than 1 gigawatt of renewable energy in China, the equivalent of powering nearly 1 million homes.
China has over 1.3 billion residents and hundreds of millions of households. A study by 24/7 Wall St. showed that many of the 25 most polluted cities in the world are in China. Part of the research came from the World Health Organization. Research shows that air pollution kills as many as a million people in China each year.

Hot Clean Energy Stocks To Watch For 2019: Seadrill Limited(SDRL)
Advisors' Opinion:- [By John Bromels]
Unless it's not. Which it may not be. There's a big cloud of uncertainty hanging over the company, in part thanks to its status as a very small fish in a very big deepwater ocean that's full of huge, hungry competitors like�Transocean�(NYSE:RIG) and�Ensco�(NYSE:ESV). Questions also abound about its parent company,�Seadrill�(NYSE:SDRL).
- [By Jason Hall]
As of 11:45 a.m. EDT today, a quick glance at any of the major financial websites for the share price of�Seadrill Ltd.�(NYSE:SDRL)�makes it look like the stock is up an insane 21,253%. That's based on yesterday's closing price of $0.12 per share, and the current price of $18.�But a whole lot of other things happened overnight, completely changing the math based on the company's emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Monday.
