Danielle Park of Venable Investment Counsel believes that years of low interest rates and QE by the Fed created unrealistic valuations that have still not fully come back down to earth.

Danielle was a guest with Jim Goddard on Talk Digital Network talking about recent developments in the world economy and markets. You can listen to an audio clip of the segment here.

As mentioned in this segment, Stanford’s Solutions Project has done engineering blueprints for the world’s major countries and cities, which can be accessed on their website here. Below, I have captured the summary of Vancouver’s pathway to 100% renewable power and Canada’s as a whole. Note that in both cases higher efficiency in the renewable system helps overall energy demand drop by 43 and 63 percent respectively, compared with the present approach.

Tesla’s 2023 Investor Day on March 1, 2023, outlined important context and data for the global transition to electrified energy and transportation. The big-picture data presented here are not new. They have been verified and published by other scientists and engineering experts in this space, including Stanford’s Mark Z. Jacobson and The Solutions Project. And yet, most people are completely unaware of the reality and feasibility of what’s unfolding. This is happening.
