And the Winner is... 

Are you a fan of a football club, its business model or both?

Are you a fan of a football club, its business model or both? Today, I would like to briefly offer some degree of insight into a relatively new business line of one of England’s most successful football clubs- Arsenal FC.

You will find that the price of Arsenal shares have risen significantly over the past decades = good returns on investments. This is because the club has diverse lines of booming businesses apart from its controversially successful football team. Arsenal’s Chief Executive Ivan Gazidiz has always maintained that the self sustaining business model of the club is very much on track.

For me, it was very interesting to know that the club is presently planning to join the green revolution as its management is considering proposals on green energy investments in the UK. This is coming as a result of previous successes recorded in similar renewable energy projects embarked upon. In October 2008, the club installed and commissioned a solar thermal preheat system to support 711 apartments

Will Events In The Middle East Spark A Renewable Energy Revolution?

One area of the financial markets most impacted by recent events in the Middle East and North Africa is the price of crude oil.  Since the majority of global crude reserves are concentrated in this part of the world, political unrest or disruption to production can often send prices soaring.

While the unrest was originally isolated to Tunisia and then Egypt (two countries with limited oil reserves), the resulting domino effect has inspired public uprisings in many other countries in the region, including Libya, which sits on the largest oil reserves in Africa.  As the citizens of these nations continue to take to the streets and topple the autocratic governments once in control, investors are bracing for a period of widespread political turmoil not seen for decades in this part of the world.

How to Go Green

The cost of electricity is going up (both in dollars and in environmental and health impacts) and it doesn't show any signs of doing otherwise. About half of the energy in the American grid is coal generated. We won't bore you with what you already know: coal is a really stinky, dangerous, nasty, unsustainable, and silly way to make power. 

By using less energy, and greening the electricity that we do use, we can lighten our footprint immensely. The subject of electricity and its environmental impacts is a massive one and we can't cover every corner of it here; hopefully, this brief guide can offer some solid suggestions for greening your electricity and use thereof.
