I'm against it because it's too late, we need to focus on green energy. Nuclear (and maybe gas) should have been transitional energy sources from fossil fuels to green, and there's arguments for nuclear remaining to act as a baseline (e.g. in the UK and Europe where the energy grid is consistent enough to set clocks by, to oversimplify things).

However, the transition should have started in the 70s or 80s and now spending the vast quantities of time and money to build them is taking resources and political capital away from green energy. Not too go on too much of a rant on what is essentially a shitpost.

Whenever I talk to nuclear energy fans, pollution is one of their key selling points - i.e. that nuclear waste is minimal compared to fossil fuels and pollution from energy output is extremely low to non-existent. But they get very quiet when asked about the amount of concrete and steel used to construct nuclear plants - both produce a lot of pollution in their production. They also often counter arguments about effects of mining the fuel with the equally devastating mining of rare metals for green energy, but surely we should be reducing both or at least minimising our impact as much as we can? Just some trends I've noticed in previous talks about this

-------------------------------------------------------------

1) Ethical and Sustainable Investing News

The outstanding success of the Beyond Meat initial public offering at $25 which rose to over $230 and now trades around $115 signifies the huge latent demand for vegan and vegetarian investments for ethical and sustainable investors.

A terrific article related to this was written by Ron Lieber in The New York Times titled, How a Vegan Ends Up With Leather in Her Portfolio. In the article, he reviews two vegan and vegetarian-friendly funds

These are the US Vegan Climate ETF and the Karner Blue Animal Impact Fund.

I’ve previously covered the US Vegan Climate ETF in my podcasts Amazon vs. eBay, First Vegan Fund, and more… on August 16, 2019, and again after the fund debuted in my podcast First Vegan Fund, Renewable Energy Stocks, and more… of September 13, 2019. So, you can go to those podcasts to review previous research and comments.

US Vegan Climate ETF

Concerning the US Vegan Climate ETF, Mr. Lieber has this to say, that “One issue that inspires deep feelings: animal welfare. It is one of the newest niches that socially responsible investment companies seek to serve, and it offers a useful template for the kinds of questions that all of us need to ask if we want to craft a portfolio that points the same way as our moral compass…

The US Vegan Climate ETF… begins with subtraction: removing companies, and even whole industries, that it considers animal unfriendly. Pharmaceuticals? Poof, because of all the animal testing…

[It] nixes fossil fuel companies, but it still owns stock in automakers that make gas-powered vehicles with leather interiors. Here, the fund’s creator, Beyond Investing, saw an opportunity to push the car companies toward skin-free seating, given that Tesla has made that move with some models…

The Vegan ETF features a fee of 0.60 percent, which is a lot for an index fund.” End quote.

Karner Blue Animal Impact Fund

And on the Karner Blue Animal Impact Fund, Mr. Lieber says that “Named for the endangered butterfly, [it] takes a different approach. It is an actively managed mutual fund, with fewer than half the number of stocks in the Vegan ETF, including companies not based in the United States.

Another big difference: It employs so-called positive screening, picking best-of-breed companies in as many industries as it can stomach…” End quote.

Then Mr. Lieber quotes Vicki L. Benjamin, president of Karner Blue Capital as saying that ‘We are not animal avoidant, We are animal engagement…” Mr. Lieber adds, “That’s how Karner Blue ends up with Chipotle in its portfolio: It likes the chain’s animal welfare efforts (its continuing food safety questions aside).” End quote.

As to the cost of the fund, Mr. Lieber writes, “Karner Blue funds can cost even more than the First Vegan Fund, though the exact amount depends on how much you invest and whether you’re using a financial adviser.” End quote. Since it is a mutual fund, it’s probably only available in the US.

-------------------------------------------------------------

2) Ethical and Sustainable Investing News

Now here’s an unusual and interesting ESG index that some ethical and sustainable investors might be interested in. Though it does appeal to a specific population segment. It’s the LGBTQ100 ESG Index (Ticker: LGBTQ100). An article describing this ESG index appeared on Yahoo! Finance under the title LGBTQ100 ESG Index Closes Above 2,000.00 Three Months Post Launch.

Quote, “Designed to advance equality throughout corporate America, the Index tracks the top 100 companies within the U.S. that rank high on environmental, social and governance (ESG) metrics and support the cause for diversity and equality across the nation. Bobby Blair, CEO of LGBTQ Loyalty Holdings, Inc. said, ‘I'm thrilled that our LGBTQ100 ESG Index, which screens for ESG compliance in addition to advancing equality, has outperformed the S&P 500 in its first 90 days." End quote.

-------------------------------------------------------------

4) Ethical and Sustainable Investing News

On a different note, have you ever considered infrastructure stocks? Some of them might be a fit for most ethical and sustainable investors. Matthew DiLallo writes about them on the Motley Fool site in a post titled 3 Top Infrastructure Stocks to Watch in February.

He says that “Several infrastructure stocks have made big moves over the past year, making them less appealing buys these days… [but] sell-offs can come out of nowhere [and that] is why investors should always keep an updated watchlist… With that in mind, three infrastructure-related stocks to watch this month are Brookfield Infrastructure Partners (NYSE: BIP), TerraForm Power (NASDAQ: TERP), and ONEOK (NYSE: OKE). All three could deliver some market-moving news this February, making them worth watching closely.”

-------------------------------------------------------------

5) Ethical and Sustainable Investing News

Some other stock ideas that ethical and sustainable investors might consider are utility companies with good environmental records. Divya Balji wrote an article titled ESG Rock Stars Sprout From Safe Utility Stocks in Canada that first appeared on Bloomberg and I found on Yahoo! Finance.

Ms. Balji writes “There’s a green revolution taking place in a corner of Canada’s stock market… Last year, the S&P/TSX Composite Utilities Index was the second-best group of Canadian stocks -- surging 32%...” End quote.

Ms. Balji then specifies the companies she likes, saying that “Innergex Renewable Energy Inc. (INE.TO), a renewable power producer, has soared 26% in 2020 after a 34% rally last year. Just this week, it announced a C$661 million partnership with Hydro-Québec targeting wind and solar projects…

And Boralex Inc. (BLX.TO), an electricity producer with renewable energy power stations, is up 20% this year after a 45% climb in 2019.

(And) Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (AQN.TO), the regulated utility with sustainable energy assets are trading at the highest level since it was listed about 22 years ago.”

-------------------------------------------------------------

6) Ethical and Sustainable Investing News

Continuing on the subject of energy, Todd Shriber over at the InvestorPlace site has posted an article titled 3 Great Alternative Energy ETFs to Buy as Traditional Energy ETFs Lag. His three picks are:

ALPS Clean Energy ETF (CBOE: ACES); iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (NASDAQ: ICLN); and VanEck Vectors Low Carbon Energy ETF (NYSEARCA: SMOG)

ALPS Clean Energy ETF

On ALPS Clean Energy ETF, he writes that it has an “Expense ratio: 0.65% per year. What’s compelling about ALPS Clean Energy ETF relative to rival alternative energy ETFs is that it reaches multiple corners of this fast-growing market segment, including wind, solar, storage and efficiency, LED and smart grid technologies, just to name a few.” End quote.

iShares Global Clean Energy ETF

Regarding the iShares Global Clean Energy ETF, Mr. Shriber says its “Expense ratio is 0.46%... one of the more seasoned members of the renewable energy ETF landscape [the] iShares Global Clean Energy ETF, which tracks the S&P Global Clean Energy Index, isn’t quite as diverse, thematically speaking, as the aforementioned ALPS Clean Energy ETF, but the iShares fund does offer more than adequate penetration into the wind and solar industries, which could be a boon for the fund in 2020.” End quote.

VanEck Vectors Low Carbon Energy ETF

And on the VanEck Vectors Low Carbon Energy ETF, he says that its “Expense ratio is 0.63%... VanEck Vectors Low Carbon Energy ETF allocates 12.28% of its weight to Tesla stock… (this ETF) follows the Ardour Global Index, which quoting VanEck, ‘is intended to track the overall performance of low carbon energy companies which are those companies primarily engaged in alternative energy which includes power derived principally from biofuels (such as ethanol), wind, solar, hydro and geothermal sources and also includes the various technologies that support the production, use, and storage of these sources.” End quote.

-------------------------------------------------------------

7) Ethical and Sustainable Investing News

So, I hope you’re not bored with my energy focus. But it’s such an important area! This next article is titled 2 Environmentally Friendly Stocks to Buy as Climate Crisis Intensifies. It also appeared on Yahoo! Finance. Its source is TipRanks and the author isn’t mentioned. The first company recommended is Renewable Energy Group Inc. (REGI).

Renewable Energy Group Inc.

Quote, “Renewable Energy Group Inc. is the largest biodiesel manufacturer in the US, with 14 biorefineries and a feedstock processing facility… The company has added over 200% to its share price since 2017… [It has a] strong buy consensus rating. At $35, the average price target suggests possible upside of 33%.” End quote.

Sunrun Inc.

The second company is Sunrun Inc. (RUN). The article’s author says “Sunrun has done very well over the last few years, with 2019’s 38% gain adding up to a cumulative 200% increase since 2017. The company is now the number 1 residential solar installer in the US… Sunrun has a unanimous strong buy consensus rating from the Street.” End quote.

A BLESSING IN DISGUISE?

by Bert A. Ramirez / May 19, 2018

(Magnolia’s import prospects Sam Muldrow, Samardo Samuels and Yancy Gates) 

               The departure of import Vernon Macklin from Magnolia to play in the National Basketball League in China, a second-fiddle pro league in that country after the Chinese Basketball Association, puts the Hotshots in a bind.  Of course, the question that comes to mind is, why did the Hotshots get Macklin, a former Giñebra reinforcement, in the first place if he could not complete his tour of duty with the team?

               But a closer look into Macklin’s case would inevitably bear out a humanitarian element, something that not even a written contract would probably defy.  The 31-year-old Macklin, after all, secured a guaranteed contract in the Chinese league, and unlike his deal in the PBA, that provides his family a little more security based on length and value of his gig there.

               "He was given a contract with the NBL China that he can't pass up on," Sheryl Reyes, the 6-foot-10 Macklin’s agent, explained.  "He is sad, but (he) needs this for his future."

               "I came here with these guys to start the season.  I wanted to finish the season with these guys. But I got somebody to take care of and I got to do some things for my family," Macklin himself tried to justify.

               Now, the Hotshots have to look for a replacement on short notice, and three candidates have been mentioned as possible options to take over - Yancy Gates, Samardo Samuels and Sam Muldrow.  Magnolia coach Chito Victolero claimed that all three are NBA veterans but only Samuels in reality can claim to have any experience with an NBA team, having played with Cleveland in parts of three years from 2010 to 2013.

               The problem with these replacement prospects is their availability.  Samuels, a 6-9, 260-pound forward-center, signed up with French club Limoges CSP in February and can only come when the 2017-18 season of the French League is over. Gates, a 6-9, 287-pound mastodon who plays both power slots like Samuels, is also under contract with Cholet Basket until the end of the French League season, while Muldrow, a 6-9, 230-pound power forward, has a commitment with the Niagara River Lions of the National Basketball League of Canada.

               "Nakita ko na ‘yung mga video ng game nila at gusto ko ‘yung nakita ko," Victolero said. "Problema nga lang namin sa ngayon eh siyempre kung libre na sila gusto rin nilang mag-rest muna.”

               Victolero said he would be meeting his coaching staff shortly to decide who among the three import prospects would best fit the Hotshots.

               Macklin had helped Magnolia to a 3-1 record, losing their opener to Phoenix 89-87 in a game they could have won had Macklin not missed five free throws and allowed the Fuel Masters to come back from a 16-point deficit, and then defeating GlobalPort 92-87, Columbian Dyip (formerly Kia) 126-101, and Meralco 81-79 in his farewell game on May 18 after sealing the victory himself with two free throws in the closing seconds.

               Macklin averaged 21.0 points, 13.3 rebounds, 1.0 assist and .75 blocked shot in the four games he played, shooting 55 percent from the floor and 68 percent from the stripes while averaging 36.1 minutes of playing time.

               Even as he compiled those numbers, however, there were questions as to whether he was good enough to lead the Hotshots to at least another finals stint.  Macklin was noticeably far from being a fluid operator inside, and did not have a go-to move that would give his team an automatic two points, or at least fish for a foul, which was in itself an iffy proposition given his less-than-elite proficiency from the line.

               Macklin in a way was also operating with a handicap, considering the caliber of big imports the Magnolia franchise has had in the past few years, which included Denzel Bowles (he of the overtime-forcing, championship-leading free-throw fame of 2012), James Mays and Ricardo Ratliffe. The standards set by those imports were simply very high, and it’s doubtful if Macklin could have approximated, much less duplicated, the caliber of those reinforcements.  The question now is, is any of the import candidates now waiting in the wings better than Macklin?

               A school of thought considers the departure of Macklin from Magnolia as a blessing in disguise given the limitations he showed in the four games he had played with the Hotshots.  Still, that could only turn out to be a blessing indeed if anyone among Samuels, Gates and Muldrow end up considerably better than the departing import.

               Could it?  That’s something worth watching particularly for long-anxious Hotshots fans.

A Hot Rodding Hero: The Legacy of Vic Edelbrock Jr.

When 26-year-old Vic Edelbrock Jr. took over aftermarket manufacturer Edelbrock Equipment in 1962 after the untimely death of his father, Vic Sr., many in the performance industry were skeptical Vic had the chops to carry the company forward. Sure, he had worked under his father’s tutelage, graduated from the prestigious University of Southern California in business, and even flew T-33 trainers while in the ROTC, but running a company like Edelbrock—always on the leading edge of performance technology and racing—into the future would take a truly gifted person. Vic’s mother told him if the business started to slide, she would sell Edelbrock to preserve the company and her husband’s legacy.

With many of Vic Sr.’s core group staying on to help maintain the company’s development and manufacturing, Vic Jr. had to organize how the company would move forward. He chose to focus on drag racing and street performance, and that decision, combined with the flood of new engine platforms and the popularity of the small-block Chevy, sent the company on a trajectory that lasted for decades. The Edelbrock company is the lasting legacy of Vic Sr. and Vic Jr.

But there was a time in the early 1970s when it seemed that not only Edelbrock but also the whole performance aftermarket industry might go away. The one-two punches of environmental concerns and gas shortages of the late-1960s and early 1970s put performance on the verge of being outlawed by the federal government. Car manufacturers buckled under pressure from the feds, instituting quick-fix environmental controls on new cars that compromised almost everything. Starting, economy, performance, durability, and dependability flew out the window. Cars were viewed as bad, and muscle cars and performance even worse. This is one reason why the muscle-car era ended. Edelbrock needed a dramatic shift in what it manufactured, who and how it benefitted customers, and how to deal with the state and federal government dictating what they could and couldn’t make.

Here’s how Vic put it: “We looked at what was coming down and decided that instead of ignoring the California Air Resources Board [CARB], we would get to know them. When they mandated the emissions levels, the OEs only had time to lean down carburetors and put a 230-degree thermostat in it. The cars would lurch and surge—they were terrible. We came up with the Streetmaster intake—it had good distribution and eliminated the surge, plus mileage went up. You could bolt it in with the stock carb. We had to do emissions testing, so we installed an emissions lab and CARB accepted our data, and we’d get an EO [Executive Order] number.” (The EO number meant any aftermarket component carrying it was certified for use in all cars with environmental controls in all 50 states.) So this pivot meant aftermarket performance changed from being of value only to racers, to being valuable for economy and the environment, plus it helped the car run better.

But Vic’s concern and drive to help the whole aftermarket went further. Vic was also instrumental, along with HOT ROD’s founder, Robert Petersen, Dean Moon, Roy Richter, Phil Weiand and others, in creating the Specialty Equipment Manufacturing Association, later changed to Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA). The industry needed a voice, and there was safety in numbers. Speed and performance was thought to represent a bad element of society in the eyes of bureaucrats and the media. With the formation of SEMA, represented by professionals, it helped change that image into a legitimate group of businessmen catering to a respectable customer base. Beginning in 1971, Vic would become both president and chairman of the organization for two terms.

In the late-1960s, Edelbrock was on the verge of participating in the many forms of evolving motorsports at that time: NHRA Super Stock, which itself evolved into Pro Stock; open wheel racing, including Indy, which was encouraging stock-block engines as a way to lessen costs and attract more teams; NASCAR; off-road racing like SCORE (Short Course Off-Road Events), and road racing’s exciting new Can-Am and Trans-Am series. Edelbrock attracted some of the key figures in these fields like Mickey Thompson, Parnelli Jones, Smokey Yunick, Bill “Grumpy” Jenkins, Sox & Martin, “Dyno” Don Nicholson, and so many others.

Into the 1970s, the company expanded its performance offerings; Edelbrock was no longer an “intake manifold” manufacturer, but instead became a performance powerhouse that offered packages of components to help take the guesswork out of performance upgrades for the enthusiast who wanted to do it himself. From the racing side, Edelbrock was still leading the field by offering components for the exploding segments of racing throughout the world. And the company grew to encompass six manufacturing buildings and an in-house foundry, employing more than 700 people, and offering a product line that numbered in the thousands by the end of the 1980s.

From the company’s perspective, we spoke with Eric Blakely, director of advertising, and Bob “Smitty” Smith, technical sales coordinator, both Edelbrock veterans. Blakely was quick to mention early profit sharing that Vic set up for employees. “This was in the early 1970s, way before this type of company benefit was common,” Blakely says. “But he would put money into your plan even if you didn’t; he was always doing things for his employees like that.” He also personally paid for a yearly scholarship to the Kansas high school his father graduated from in Augusta, Kansas.

He was also known to take criticism personally, to the extent that he’d sometimes call a customer who was experiencing trouble with an Edelbrock product. Vic welcomed racers to come to the El Segundo, California, facility, which reads like a who’s who of racing: Bill “Grumpy” Jenkins, Benny Parsons, Richard Petty, Larry Torres, Bob Glidden, Herb McCandles, and too many to remember. Says Smitty, “A lot of those racers would come out because it was snowing in the east, and we let them use our dynos and helped them, and Vic loved it.”

Vic’s enthusiasm for racing, fast cars, and continuing to offer the best components available extended to his family, with wife Nancy by his side at many events. Both went to nearly every NHRA Nationals and Daytona 500, including this year. His three girls—Camee, Christi, and Carey—were all involved in sports like horseback riding and jumping competitions, and water skiing. Vic, along with Camee and Christi, were participants in vintage road-racing events. Vic also amassed a healthy collection of historic race cars and boats, which were housed in a separate building not too far from Edelbrock’s corporate headquarters in Torrance, California, called Vic’s Garage. And he was like a kid for personal car projects, which he also used to test and promote Edelbrock products. Brizio Street Rods in South San Francisco built many personal cars, including a reproduction and then the original 1932 highboy roadster his father used to develop all of his early Ford flathead equipment in the 1930s, racing on the dry lakes of California. Vic and Nancy drove many of those hot rods on numerous HOT ROD Power Tours, which Edelbrock supported and obviously enjoyed from a pure participant perspective.

Vic and the Edelbrock family have placed a high priority on “giving back” to the industry and participants in that industry in all forms by creating the Edelbrock Foundation. Their main goal is to bring groups and individuals together to help educate and train youth to continue America’s passion and innovation in automobiles and racing. They also award donations to education groups like the Center for Learning Unlimited, which has a robotics program for middle- and high-school students.

More recently, to keep pace with OE electronic fuel-management like direct injection and more refined ignition systems, Edelbrock developed bolt-in supercharger conversions and upgrade packages, and also sells complete late-model engines with increased horsepower and dependability. Recently, when Edelbrock began to have some problems with the EPA again, Vic took up the challenge once more to educate them on the advantages of performance. Says Blakely, “He told us we did it before and we’ll do it again. He always took these issues with the feds getting into our space as a challenge, and he loved solving problems.” As Vic told HOT ROD just last year, “Edelbrock products have to do what we say they will do. We’ve always been passionate enthusiasts and a lot of our employees are car enthusiasts—it’s our lifestyle. We want to continue that forward and integrate what the next generation of enthusiast wants.”

Vic Sr. and Vic Jr.

The No. 27 1959 aluminum Lister Corvette. Vic was an avid vintage road-race fan, along with his daughters, Camee and Christi, with a stable that included the Smokey Yunick–built 1967 Camaro, a pair of 1966 Mustangs, the former George Follmer Trans Am Mustang, and his No. 614 Z06 Corvette.

In the late-1980s, Vic began racing his No. 614 1963 Z06 Corvette, a former Zora Arkus-Duntov development car for Chevrolet. A veteran of Bonneville and many road courses, it was also used as Chevy’s weapon to go after Shelby’s Cobras in 1962 and 1963.

Offshore boat racing was another of Vic’s pursuits, as seen here in his 38-foot Scarab in the mid-1980s. The team included Camee as driver, Curt Hooker navigating, and Vic as the throttle man.

HOT ROD Magazine founder Robert Petersen was given the Person of the Year award from the SEMA association in 1972, with SEMA President Vic Edelbrock on the right and National Transportation Safety Board Head Doug Thoms on the left. Vic was President of SEMA for two terms beginning in 1971.

Into the 1980s, Edelbrock paired components it tested that produced optimal performance to make it easier for customers to get the most bang for their buck.

Longtime Edelbrock engineer Bobby Meeks with a fiberglass prototype of the TM-1 Chevy “Tarantula” intake manifold. Going from wooden masters to fiberglass, which could be used for dyno testing, increased Edelbrock’s ability to fine-tune their intakes in the late-1960s.

A young Vic Jr. on the Edelbrock dyno in 1956.

Nancy and Vic receiving an award from the NHRA for their involvement with professional and sportsman drag racing. Until recently, both Nancy and Vic had attended every NHRA Nationals and Daytona 500 events.

C-4B 1962: First single four-barrel, dual-plane intake manifold for the small-block Chevy. Friend Bob Joehnck suggested Vic produce this intake, but he was hesitant since Chevy already offered one. He ultimately chose to do a better one. Says Bill “Smitty” Smith, “This became a home run for us, a real milestone, because prior to that we were making intakes for racing, but this was a street manifold.”

X-C8 1962: Small-block Chevy cross-ram.

C-3B 1969: For small-block Chevys, sold as a package that included a Holley 950 carburetor Holley adapted for Edelbrock for the street. When tested at Irwindale Raceway in the 350ci-equipped HOT ROD 1967 Camaro, it did a 10.82 e.t. at almost 130 mph in the quarter-mile.

Small-block Pro Stock tunnel ram (Chevy shown), favored by both Chevy and Mopar Pro Stock competitors in the early 1970s.

Smokey Yunick SY-1 Smokey Ram two-piece intake manifold from 1974. Conceived by Smokey, Edelbrock testing indicated problems, with Vic agreeing to produce it if Smokey would include his phone number for technical assistance. Buyers ignored the “For Racing Only” warnings, which created headaches for Smokey once the avalanche of calls began.

Chrysler Hemi “Rat Roaster” intake manifold. The rat to be roasted was Chevy’s big-block, known as a rat motor.

Edelbrock’s first component manufactured for an OE, the three-two-barrel “Six Pack” for 440ci Mopars from 1970. Says Edelbrock publicist Eric Blakely, “To be doing a manifold for an OE was a point of pride and accomplishment for Vic. It’s hard to do, they don’t just go to any company—you really have to have your stuff together.”

The 1973 “Streetmaster” for small-block Chevys was developed by Edelbrock for the emissions era.
