As a retail investor and trader…

This is information packed without a lot of political griping earmarking other energy podcasts (often triggering ad nausea switch away) never getting close to your production standards. As a comedian, production standards are my lifeblood. The quality of the information is as good as I have heard anywhere, and in the wrap, please keep ‘em coming, and I will listen. Recommending green investment to other comedians is about as effective as speaking to the financial IQ of the average person in Oakland to value the notion of strategic personal investment. However, I will tout you nonetheless, and am currently contemplating how to work that into shutting down a heckler.
