Iberdrola, ICO, Sabadell and HSBC have signed a syndicated green loan for €500 million, covered by Cesce through its Green Investment Policy on behalf of Spain.

The loan, which has a 15-year maturity, is guaranteed by the Internationalization Risk Reserve Fund, attached to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Enterprise. It is the first aimed at promoting renewable energy projects that the ICO will finance with Next Generation funds in the second phase of the Recovery Plan. 

Funds from the operation, as part of the ICO-Verde program, will be used to finance renewable and battery projects in the United States, Australia and Italy. The total renewable capacity financed is slated to reach 897 MW, with the project expected to be operational by 2026.

Cesce, in its role as the Spanish Export Credit Agency, exclusively manages credit and investment insurance on behalf of the State. Its Green Investment Policy covers the risks of credits granted to Spanish companies or their foreign subsidiaries for the financing of projects abroad that are considered green.

• Environmental collapse.

• Malicious use of AI.

• Pandemics, as misinformation on vaccinations spread and the frozen tundra melts, releasing pathogens never seen by humans.

• Nuclear war.

Addressing the point made at left, is there any scenario in which world governments agree to cooperate so as to stave off the end of an organized society here on Earth?  One supposes so, though it sounds far-fetched in today’s world in which the leaders of most of the 200+ sovereign nations are trying so desperately to cling to power.

Obviously, James Carville has been wrong before, but it appears that he’s onto something here.

An ever-increasing number of Americans are realizing that Trump is criminally insane, and is leading this nation to destruction.

The Economics of Climate Change Mitigation

It’s a pleasure to see that Dr. Brian Cox has people so popular, having joined the ranks for Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye, and a few others.  This phenomenon of celebrity physicists if one of very few bright spots in our modern world.

I would qualify what he says at left as follows: the only people who hate the economics here are those invested in fossil fuels.  Clean energy and transportation are already huge industries, and they’re growing at an amazing pace–even in the face of heavy suppression by Big Oil and Donald Trump.
