The international drive to reduce carbon emission and improve energy security is focusing the attention on consumer behaviour, where significant energy savings are expected by a simple modification in attitude at minimal costs. Energy consumption in buildings in most countries accounts for 20% to 40% of the total consumption, as a result this makes household energy conservation an opportunity to reduce energy consumption. Most countries try to drive behavioural change via different strategies such as educating the public, improving feedback to consumers, enhancing building insulation, the use of smart meters and in some cases by increasing energy prices.

Monetary supply is a slippery concept. Coins being held indefinitely in a cold wallet aren really part of the circulating supply, so their release can act as currency injection.

A similar reaction is coming in from the People of Faith for Equality in Virginia. The group says it is also disappointed for gay and lesbian couples in the Commonwealth who want legal recognition. But members say they believe that day is coming, also calling the decision “a delay, not an end.”.

Our areas of focus are considered dull and unsexy by many, but nothing could be further from the truth. As we outline in this letter, the ongoing transition to a low carbon economy runs directly through the businesses and industries we focus on, and as such, investors will return to them with a renewed enthusiasm as their importance to the global economy once again takes center stage. Disruption has long been the domain of the digital world, but disruption is on the horizon for the physical world as well, and we are ready to take advantage of it..
