we need more funds from the un providing funding to energy projects on renewable energy like hydroelectricity, solar. we also need more innovation on how to improve battery power carrying capacity. if money is not put in these areas we fossil fuels will remain our main energy source till heaven comes
The real challenge as indicated, is to scale the reinvestment options. At Iroquois Valley Farms LLC, we use a B Certified corporate model. Without long term and committed capital, there is little to build on. But we have found investors willing to commit long term, especially with their IRA accounts. Foundations are now starting to follow. There is reason to be an optimist.
To impact, Dave Miller, CEO, Iroquois Valley Farms LLC
The greatest impact will be made when individuals thru defined contribution plans as well as institutions have clean energy options across asset classes professionally managed, supported by the investment consultants. I am willing to do my part.
