Blog – What is next for the Solar Energy Sector? I support renewable and clean options if this technology is viable without direct government subsidies. There also needs to be a circular plan as part of any new product offering to ensure that products can be recycle as part of their product lifecycle. Countries also need to have their own source of solar panels as part of moving of sourcing solar panels from China. 1.

How to Mitigate the threats of Climate Change
Blog – How to Mitigate the effects of Climate Change through sound Environmental Policies
I am supporter of climate change and the need for both the private and public sectors to address issues with climate change. The key focus on policies that better support both circular and green economy. Government should resist subsidizing business through either direct grants or loans. The policies should be based on capital costs allowance, innovation, and training/skills tax credits. The world also needs to start looking at CO2 absorption through a global standard. The global standard should be audited like ESG reporting.

Cost of Living| Canada|Inflation| October 2021 (Revised)
@justinTrudeau has no clue about inflation - Sep/19 also seen higher inflation compared to Oct/15 but there was no comment from you back in Sep/19, why? https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/2019-election-cost-of-living-canada-june-2019
Inflation was rising way before COVID19, and Trudeau were warned about policies like carbon taxes.
BTW: I love seeing Trudeau getting angry as it shows that he cannot answer questions without the appropriate word salad as a way to say people are picking on him

Summary:
Australia’s consumer sentiment fell on concerns that borrowing costs are set to begin climbing this year, intensifying pressure on highly-indebted households already struggling with soaring gasoline prices.
Consumer sentiment slid 1.3% to 100.8 points in February, Westpac Banking Corp. said in a statement Wednesday. The survey showed the proportion of respondents expecting an increase in mortgage rates over the next 12 months lifted to 66% from 55% in January.

Agriculture and Farm Equipment Sector| February 2022
Here is my latest look at the Agriculture Equipment and Food Production sector
Cost of Living| The United States |Inflation| January 2022
Summary:
U.S. consumer prices rose solidly in January, leading to the biggest annual increase in inflation in 40 years, fueling financial markets speculation for a 50 basis points interest rate hike from the Federal Reserve next month.
The broad increase in prices reported by the Labor Department on Thursday was led by soaring costs for rents, electricity and food, and could heap more political pressure on President Joe Biden, whose popularity has been declining amid anxiety over the rising cost of living.
High inflation has overshadowed a strong economy, which grew at its fastest pace in 37 years in 2021 and a labor market that is rapidly churning out jobs.

Building and fire codes need to be modernized for solar panels and/or other sources clean energy
China still controls the lion share of solar panel market
People need to get used to green inflation. Solar and Wind output base on their cost model. Electricity grid will reflect the recovering of the capital required to install solar and wind power.
More value money audits are required on incentives programs for solar and/other energy efficient options for commercial, industrial, and residential.

How to Mitigate the threats of Climate Change
Blog – How to Mitigate the effects of Climate Change through sound Environmental Policies
I am supporter of climate change and the need for both the private and public sectors to address issues with climate change. The key focus on policies that better support both circular and green economy. Government should resist subsidizing business through either direct grants or loans. The policies should be based on capital costs allowance, innovation, and training/skills tax credits. The world also needs to start looking at CO2 absorption through a global standard. The global standard should be audited like ESG reporting.

Cost of Living| Canada|Inflation| October 2021 (Revised)
@justinTrudeau has no clue about inflation - Sep/19 also seen higher inflation compared to Oct/15 but there was no comment from you back in Sep/19, why? https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/2019-election-cost-of-living-canada-june-2019
Inflation was rising way before COVID19, and Trudeau were warned about policies like carbon taxes.
BTW: I love seeing Trudeau getting angry as it shows that he cannot answer questions without the appropriate word salad as a way to say people are picking on him

Retail Sales| Australia| December 2021
Summary:
Australia’s consumer sentiment fell on concerns that borrowing costs are set to begin climbing this year, intensifying pressure on highly-indebted households already struggling with soaring gasoline prices.
Consumer sentiment slid 1.3% to 100.8 points in February, Westpac Banking Corp. said in a statement Wednesday. The survey showed the proportion of respondents expecting an increase in mortgage rates over the next 12 months lifted to 66% from 55% in January.

Agriculture and Farm Equipment Sector| February 2022
Here is my latest look at the Agriculture Equipment and Food Production sector
Cost of Living| The United States |Inflation| January 2022
Summary:
U.S. consumer prices rose solidly in January, leading to the biggest annual increase in inflation in 40 years, fueling financial markets speculation for a 50 basis points interest rate hike from the Federal Reserve next month.
The broad increase in prices reported by the Labor Department on Thursday was led by soaring costs for rents, electricity and food, and could heap more political pressure on President Joe Biden, whose popularity has been declining amid anxiety over the rising cost of living.
High inflation has overshadowed a strong economy, which grew at its fastest pace in 37 years in 2021 and a labor market that is rapidly churning out jobs.

Global Housing Market Analysis and Commentary- September 2023.pptx
Summary:
Homebuilders are walking a fine line when it comes to new projects as high mortgage rates curb demand.
New residential construction, including single-family homes and multifamily, dropped 11.3% month over month in August to 1.283 million units on a seasonally adjusted basis, according to Census Bureau data released Tuesday. That's down 14.8% compared with a year ago and well below the 1.44 million units economists surveyed by Bloomberg projected.
But authorized residential permits — an indicator of potential future activity — rose 6.9% to 1.543 million permits in August from July. That was still down 2.7% from last August. Single-family permits, though, were up 2% from July to 949,000. Multifamily permits came in at 535,000.
The data reflects two opposing forces builders are trying to balance: the ongoing need for new construction to fill in limited inventory and elevated mortgage rates that are hurting their biggest customer right now, the first-time homebuyer.
"High mortgage rates are clearly taking a toll on builder confidence and consumer demand, as a growing number of buyers are electing to defer a home purchase until long-term rates move lower," Robert Dietz, chief economist of the National Association of Home Builders, said Monday in a press release after builder confidence dropped for the second straight month.

This figure marked a 12.4% decline from June 2023 but remained only 10.5% lower than July 2022. Year-to-date orders amounted to $2.83 billion, reflecting a 12.7% decrease compared to the same period the previous year.
Douglas K. Woods, President of AMT, noted that July is typically a slower month for manufacturing technology orders, so a slight drop was expected. However, he pointed out a notable trend: over the last two months, the year-to-date order gap has narrowed during historically slow periods. While job shops have seen decreased orders, other industries that benefited from reshoring or government investments have helped fill the gap.
Among specific sectors, job shops, the largest customer segment, placed their lowest total monthly orders since August 2020. In contrast, metal valve manufacturers recorded their third-highest monthly order value on record, last seen in September 2018, making up nearly 5% of the total manufacturing technology order value for July 2023. Manufacturers of motor vehicle transmissions continued to order machinery at an elevated pace. However, the aerospace industry continued to order below its early 2022 peaks, with hopes that recent projects like the federal government's $1.5 billion investment in communications satellites might reverse this trend.

Stock Market Analysis and Commentary for WE September 15 2023.pptx
Blog – Analysis and Commentary – Stock Market – WE September 15 2023
Summary:
Stocks fell Friday as investors wrap up a volatile week ahead of the Federal Reserve's policy meeting.
The Dow Jones Industrials tumbled 288.87 points to close out Friday and the week at 34,618.24. At its lows, it completely wiped out Thursday's 332-point rally.
The S&P 500 index sank 54.78 points, or 1.2%, to 4,450.32.
The NASDAQ index plunged 217.72 points, or 1.6%, to 13,708.33.
The Dow held onto a winning week. The S&P 500 and NASDAQ both closed out the week with losses.
Information technology was the worst-performing sector in the S&P 500, down nearly 2%. Adobe shares fell more than 4% even after the software firm posted better-than-expected quarterly results. Shares of Arm Holdings were lower one day after its successful public debut.
Auto stocks General Motors and Stellantis N.V. were higher Friday, while Ford Motor was about flat. Thousands of members of the United Auto Workers went on strike after failing to reach a deal with the automakers Thursday night.
Elsewhere, Lennar shares slid 3%. The home construction firm posted third-quarter results that beat on the top and bottom lines.
On the economic front, the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment survey showed one-year inflation expectations dropped to 3.1% in
September, tied for the lowest since January 2021. Also, the five-year outlook fell to 2.7%, matching its lowest since December 2020.
Electricity Analysis - Canada and the OECD - June 2023.pptx
Summary:
Over three-quarters of the world’s total coal-generated electricity is consumed in just three countries. China is the top user of coal, making up 53.3% of global coal demand, followed by India at 13.6%, and the U.S. at 8.9%.
Burning coal—for electricity, as well as metallurgy and cement production—is the world’s single largest source of CO2 emissions. Nevertheless, its use in electricity generation has actually grown 91.2% since 1997, the year when the first global climate agreement was signed in Kyoto, Japan.
However, even as non-renewables enjoy their time in the sun, their days could be numbered.
In 2022, renewables, such as wind, solar, and geothermal, represented 14.4% of total electricity generation with an extraordinary annual growth rate of 14.7%, driven by big gains in solar and wind. Non-renewables, by contrast, only managed an anemic 0.4%.
The authors of the Statistical Review do not include hydroelectric in their renewable calculations, even though many others, including the International Energy Agency, consider it a “well-established renewable power technology.”
With hydroelectric moved into the renewable column, together they accounted for over 29.3% of all electricity generated in 2022, with an annual growth rate of 7.4%.

World Merchandise Trade – September 2023.pptx
Summary:
The global economy faces what at least one forecaster is calling a mild trade recession as shipments from China slump and German factories downshift.
China’s export declines extended into August, though there were signs that the worst of a world trade slowdown may be over for the leading exporter.
Overseas shipments from China fell 8.8% in dollar terms from a year earlier while imports contracted 7.3%, both better than economists’ estimates and significantly less severe than July’s downturn.
Other data have suggested trade may be stabilizing after weakening for most of this year. Exports from South Korea also declined at a more moderate pace in August than the previous month.

What price will pi network be listed on exchanges
The rate at which pi will be listed is practically unknown. But due to speculations surrounding it the predicted rate is tends to be from 30$ — 50$.
So if you are interested in selling your pi network coins at a high rate tho. Or you can't wait till the mainnet launch in 2026. You can easily trade your pi coins with a merchant.
A merchant is someone who buys pi coins from miners and resell them to Investors looking forward to hold massive quantities till mainnet launch.
I will leave the what's app number of my personal pi vendor to trade with.
