Namibians Install Innovative Solar System for Brewery

News Analysis:  Efficient Solar Energy, if used in conjunction with advanced Electrical Storage Technologies, will provide manufacturers ‘Around the Clock’ Electricity. The ‘up-front’ Non-Recurring Costs [when amortized over the project life] conjoined with the ‘De Minimis’ Recurring Costs, can save manufacturers a great deal of money over time.

The “Cleanliness” of Solar Energy, along with its projected five-billion-year lifespan energy source, make it very attractive environmentally.

As Solar Cell Technology improves, energy output will increase and  “Cost-to-Produce” elements will abate.

Weather Changes Severely Affect Hungary’s Paprika Crops

News Analysis:  Cold weather and frost have ruined the production of Paprika in Hungary. There is little forecasted by Weather Meteorologists that its climate  will improve; but, to the contrary, indications it will worsen throughout Europe. Since the Northern Jet Stream continues to lower itself, due to global weather changes, more cold air may impact Hungary negatively.

Under such conditions, Investors with foresight, should consider investing in the commodity Paprika. They can either proceed into purchasing contracts for harvested product, or investigate Paprika Farming possibilities in other geographies  of the world.

The “Law of Supply and Demand”: Reality.

Indonesia Closer to Achieving Rice Sufficiency

News Analysis: The government, under President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, took preemptive action towards increasing rice production to thwart the need for its importation. Due to his forward thinking, this goal is very close to being realized. Only when a country’s leaders have the foresight, as is the case in Indonesia,  to remove impediments to crop production, will that occur; procrastination by leaders accomplishes nothing.

As Farmers Worldwide Know: In Nature, There is an Ebb, then a Flow

News Analysis: Western Australia is starting to enjoy an abundant grain harvest after several years of dismal  production. The prescient farmer who understands the concept of “Famine followed by Feast” will take economic measures to deal with the facts of farming. Such strategic moves as: Establishing long-term credit with financial institutions in his geographic area [if available]; Agronomy advice on the latest farming [and watering] techniques from the local college or university; Purchasing equipment that is reliable for low maintenance cost; Having worthy employees or contract help; And, of course, choosing the proper crop[s] to grow for the farm’s environmental locale.

The industrious Western Australians are now reaping what that have sown. They are a testament to farmers’ intrepidness: Reality.

$560,000,000.00 a Year Needed by Mongolia for Its Public’s Weather Comfort

News Analysis: The Asian Development Bank’s estimate of the needs of Mongolia’s  3,226,000+/- population reveals a climatic reality which is developing. The Ulaanbaatar Government, with a Gross Domestic Product of $15,000,000,000.00 has the financial ability to deal with any weather problems promptly.

The acquisition of Proven Technologies for extreme cold in construction, such as Mega-Temp™ Insulation, can make new buildings very comfortable. Where the product is applied, a minimum of gas or electrical energy is then used for building heating. Any special  thermal control such as for a ‘hot house’ built therein, to grow vegetables during the winter, thereafter only use very little energy [because the thermal baseline has been raised]. Also, the huge livestock losses of the past few winters could have been greatly reduced if the Mega-Temp Insulation™ had been applied to the insides of the Husbandry Shelters.

Governments must be responsive to the needs of their citizens. Since more severe winters have started to occur and probably will continue for at least several decades [30 Year Cycle] proven technologies such as Mega-Temp™ Insulation should for thermal control. For flooding and other events associated with weather change, other technologies should be sought on the markets of the world.

World Wine Production is Being Significantly Affected by Global Weather

News Analysis: Investors who have an awareness of “Bulk” and “Limited” Production Wines growth and manufacture can ‘connect the dots’ as it relates to World Weather Change affecting  both. In conjunction with this element is the fact that much agricultural land is now too valuable to be used as such; both factors affect supply of this commodity.

Entrepreneurs who develop an understanding of Viticulture and can project future weather in certain geographies can prosper with this knowledge. Purchasing or investing in existing vineyards or developing such, in a “good” geographic/weather  environment [for wine production], will help assure success. Since wine consumption is historically popular in many countries, a dearth of customers for wine purchases will not be a problem.

Stena Lines Sails to Korea Through Arctic

News Analysis: Ten days shorter will provide significant cost savings as well as increase vessel life. As long as the ships are regulatory approved for cold weather conditions there is less environmental threat than sailing the Southern Route. Pirates armed with rockets and machine guns could easily destroy ships near them along the Southern Route. The environment would be subject to continued threat due to the belligerence of avaricious men.
