Renewable energy has always had one major weakness. Unlike gas, coal or nuclear-fueled plants, which can run 24 hours a day, solar energy doesn’t work at night. Wind energy doesn’t work when the wind stops blowing. The solution, of course, is utility-grade storage: massive battery systems that store electricity from hours of peak production. If you have solar panels on your roof or know anyone who does, you might have seen a retail version of this in Tesla’s Powerwall line of storage systems.

Welcome to a special update! In this week’s video, I unveil an announcement about our model portfolio that will help us continue our market-crushing performance. Speaking of which, I compared our performance in Green Zone Fortunes to that of several market indexes as well as the traditional 60/40 portfolio year to date. Folks have called 2022 the worst first six months for the market in 50 years. When you see how our performance compares to the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the traditional 60/40 portfolio and more … well, I think you’ll be pleased.

This week’s big news is the Senate’s passage of the Inflation Reduction Act. Where it concerns your portfolio, this act is one of the largest acts of Congress in recent history.
