This paper has presented a hypothesis that the Great Depression can be understood as a critical period in the energy transition from coal to hydrocarbons. They were responsible for supplying between 70% and 76% of US energy in 1929; and 69% of energy used for capital formation.

Southland’s first Arbor Day may have been the one held about June 14, 1886. Between 1892 and 1914 schools and Government departments observed Arbor Day, at various dates in winter and spring. Fortunately, the rope tied to a tree ashore held and the inflatable dinghies cushioned the yacht from impact with the rocks.

Have a lovely weekend, let's hope the warm weather continues (with some heavy showers overnight, for the garden!)

Also I saw that Roland did an interview with Paul Hill, which I listened to last night - lots of interesting (mostly mid cap) share ideas. Red - means we see significant, or serious problems, so anyone looking at the share needs to be aware of the high risk.
