Sustainable Investing based on Real Intelligence

PreIPOSwap.com 2/25/2023 — New York, NY — We hear the term ‘sustainable’ being thrown around a lot with so many hidden meanings, implications, and innuendo it can be confusing.  Let’s cut to the chase.  Sustainability means rugged, flexible, and long term – that means a business model that doesn’t deplete natural resources, and that can survive a couple of earthquakes and move on.  Oil and Gas is not sustainable in both definitions – once the Oil is gone it’s gone, and refineries and distribution systems like pipelines and even tankers who must connect to pipes at some point, are fragile.  Similar to semiconductor manufacturing, the Oil system contains millions of levers, switches, pipes, regulators, dials, screws, fittings, and other small components that can go bust.

Pencils generally don’t break, you can smash a pencil into bits but there are no moving parts, it’s just wood and lead.  Pens on the other hand can be complicated, require ink to be filled, and can break.  In the context of this discussion, we are looking for investments that are similar to Pencils.  Crunchbase maintains lists of companies based on any ‘tags’ or sectors, here is their Sustainability list (top companies, there are over 6,000 total):

They maintain a rank score, based on this list – which is continually growing:

These companies are direct sustainability companies, however – not necessarily companies in various industries that are sustainable.  In other words, there are thousands of companies out there raising money based on a sustainable business model, based on real intelligence from the Creator.

One such company from the past is Eat JUST – they have a unique manufacturing process whereby they use totally organic ingredients, including Mung Bean, which is liquified and bottled.  The end product looks and tastes like eggs, but it’s not.  But it’s based on a sustainable organic food alternative, Mung Beans.

DT Unicorn Fund has come across another sustainable company that does something amazing.  Using their own proprietary blend of microbes, Pro Gro Bio has figured out a way to increase yields of anything that grows (Crops, Turf, Trees) by adding natural additives (not chemicals) in the soil called Microbes.  If you are interested to learn more about investing in this opportunity, please reach out to DT Unicorn Fund by clicking here.

Something is affecting Planet Earth, factories are exploding, pipelines are bursting, sinkholes are becoming more and more common.  Just last week, Mexican oil refiner Pemex had multiple buildings on fire.

Perhaps the reason that big money is investing in alternatives is because in the future they are the only things that will work?  Natural disasters and other unknown factors are taxing the traditional industrial infrastructure.  In the case of agriculture, decades of chemicals, pesticides, and petro chemicals have damaged the soil in some cases, so badly that it cannot be repaired (farmers are having to switch to solar farming).  But growers are pushing back, from Yale:

The quest for ever-greater productivity — using fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, and whatever other chemicals are at hand — is killing our soil and threatening our farms….

We know that over the past 50 years the levels of organic matter — it is kind of a standard test for soil in terms of its health and fertility — have been going way down. That’s alarming. We see organic matter levels in some fields of 1 percent or less. Whereas you can go to a pasture sitting right next to it where organics levels are 5 percent or 6 percent. So that is how drastically we have altered these systems. We are destroying the organic matter in the soil, and we’ve got to bring that back to sustain life on this planet.  The good news is that soil will come back if you give it a chance. It is very robust and resilient. It’s not like we have destroyed it to the point where it can’t be fixed. The soil health movement is trying to bring those organic levels back up and get soil to a higher functioning state.

Imagine a world 10 years from now, when only EV cars were driving the road, and there are only microbial soil additives instead of fertilizers.  Having an EV is very off-grid because if push comes to shove you can charge your own EV with any available power source.  Farming used to be like that, if you owned land you could plant anything – but not anymore.  Now the land has become addicted to chemicals and fertilizers – but the good news is that the Earth is a big sponge that can easily adapt to new surroundings, it will simply take time and car to heal.

Sustainable investing is about identifying a viable business model, in any environment we have.  The Macro picture is that the world is getting more complex, and things are breaking.  A new generation isn’t being trained the same way that it was 50 years ago.  Relying on AI or other technology is not an answer.  Meanwhile, it seems that the Earth is being affected by some extra terrestrial forces.  Earthquakes, floods, violent storms, and magnetic anomalies are happening more and more.  Some have claimed that the Earthquakes in Turkey are sabotage – but why?  Why not Ankara, why there – if it was sabotage?  Diplomats left days before, they say.  What about Earthquake detection technology?

Even if some of these ‘accidents’ are sabotage, that doesn’t explain the solar flares, or the change in the magnetic North Pole.  A recent solar flare was so large it was bigger than the state of Alaska.  And these events are happening more and more.  The good news is that we have technology now that makes much of this manageable.  Even in the worst scenarios of Cataclysms, we would be able to survive and rebuild.  But in any situation where large amounts of infrastructure is destroyed, engineers will reinvent the manufacturing and construction systems – or in other words, the rebuild is going to make Earth look very different.  Will we use a form of wireless electricity transmission, originally invented by Nikola Tesla?  Instead of trains on metal tracks, will we build mag lev or something powered by air?  All of these things are already built and operational, waiting for widespread use.

_____________________________________

That means you can hire Boring Company to drill a freight tunnel in between your warehouse and shipping port.  These are just a few examples, they are all around us.  Local networks, local supply chains, organic growing systems, and simple technology with few moving parts, that doesn’t deplete resources – is the sustainable way of the future.
