In this episode from Becker's 2025 Annual Meeting, Dr. Sanjay Doddamani, Founder and CEO of Guidehealth, joins Erica Carbajal to challenge the idea of replacing fee-for-service outright. Instead, he advocates a more pragmatic path—tying fee-based payments to outcomes (FFO rather than FFS) and enabling them to coexist with two-sided value-based models to accelerate adoption beyond traditional structures. The conversation explores how health systems can leverage data, aligned incentives, and AI-powered care navigation to improve outcomes while maintaining financial flexibility. Tune in for a clear-eyed look at how coexistence—not replacement—is key to accelerating the shift to value.This episode is sponsored by Guidehealth.

Here are some quotes from an article by CK staff introducing the 2025 ranking. “California-based shareholder advocates As You Sow and Corporate Knights (Canada) today released the new cohort of the Carbon Clean200, a global list of 200 publicly traded companies leading the sustainable clean energy economy… It shows sustainable companies on path to dominate global economy. Key findings include: The top 10 companies on the list by revenue include Apple (AAPL), Contemporary Amperex Technology (300750.SZ), Microsoft (MSFT), Tesla (TSLA), Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSM) and Volkswagen (VOW3.DE). Thirty-five countries are represented in the Clean200, including the United States (41), China (21), Japan (18), Germany (14), and France and Canada (11 each). Clean200 companies earned more than $2.5 trillion in sustainable revenue in 2023 (the most recent year for which full-year results are available). Clean200 companies generated a total return of 190.9% on a sustainable-revenue-weighted basis, outperforming the MSCI ACWI index (162.0%) and the MSCI ACWI/Energy Index of fossil fuel companies (76.7%) on Total Return Gross – USD Basis from the Clean200 inception of July 1, 2016, to January 29, 2025. $10,000 invested in the Clean200 on July 1, 2016, would have grown to $29,090 by January 29, 2025, versus $17,670 for the MSCI ACWI/Energy benchmark for fossil fuel. The industrial sector accounts for 52 companies on the list, followed by information technology (32), and consumer discretionary and materials (29 each). IT companies had the highest total sustainable revenue, a cumulative total of more than US$687 billion. Background ‘It is telling that clean energy stocks generated more than double the returns of fossil fuel stocks since 2016, despite political headwinds, underlining that stock markets care more about economic materiality of the parabolic growth in clean energy than the political leanings of the day,' says Toby Heaps, CEO of Corporate Knights and co-author of the report. The Clean200 utilizes the Corporate Knights Sustainable Revenue database, which tracks the percentage of revenue companies earn from sustainable economy themes ranging from green power to electric vehicles to plant protein and smart buildings. The list excludes companies that are flagged on Corporate Knights' list of ‘red flag' companies and As You Sow's Invest Your Values suite of mutual-fund transparency tools that identify companies involved in fossil fuels, deforestation, the prison industrial complex, weapons and tobacco, as well as the exclusionary screens that form part of the Corporate Knights Global 100 methodology.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- The Low-Carbon Stocks for Sustainable Investors (2) The next article is about a sector that appeals to many ethical and sustainable investors. However, few invest in it directly. The article is titled 3 Natural Foods Stocks Positioned for Success in 2025. It's by Sumit Singh and is on zacks.com. Here are some quotes from the article. “Companies like The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. (HAIN) and Vital Farms, Inc. (VITL) are responding to the rising demand for organic, clean-label and ethically sourced foods… However, this article focuses on these 3 Natural Foods Stocks to Watch. Quote. 1. United Natural Foods, Inc. (UNFI) stands as a prominent player in the natural foods sector, serving as one of the largest distributors of organic and natural products in North America. Through its extensive network, United Natural Foods supplies a vast array of products, including fresh produce, pantry staples, dairy alternatives and plant-based foods. With its diverse portfolio, the company caters to both retail giants and independent natural food stores… This Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) company is increasingly focusing on innovation and sustainability within the natural foods space. The company has committed to enhancing its supply-chain practices, reducing waste and supporting regenerative agriculture initiatives. United Natural Foods is also working closely with suppliers to accelerate food innovation. Through its supplier go-to-market program, the company has simplified the process of bringing new natural and organic products to store shelves. This initiative has enabled suppliers to reintroduce thousands of SKUs that were previously discontinued, expanding consumer access to diverse and healthier food options. 2. Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. (SFM) has been at the forefront of the natural and organic food movement, catering to health-conscious consumers seeking fresh, high-quality and ethically sourced products. The company's commitment to fresh, organic and attribute-driven products sets it apart. With nearly 46% of total produce sales now coming from organic products, Sprouts Farmers Market continues to expand its assortment, ensuring accessibility to high-quality, responsibly sourced food… This Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) company continues to strengthen its connection with customers through tailored marketing and engagement efforts, such as social media campaigns and in-store discovery events like Sprouts Brand Discovery Days. These initiatives showcase the company's differentiated offerings while attracting a younger demographic and increasing foot traffic. 3. Beyond Meat, Inc. (BYND) is transforming plant-based food by using cleaner, healthier ingredients. The company's latest Beyond 4 products, including the Beyond Burger and Beyond Beef, are made from a blend of yellow peas, brown rice, red lentils and fava beans. These ingredients provide 21 grams of protein per serving while cutting saturated fat by 75% compared to traditional beef burgers, thanks to the use of avocado oil. This commitment to nutrition has earned recognition from the American Diabetes Association and the American Heart Association, reinforcing Beyond Meat's focus on making plant-based options both tasty and healthy… This Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company's commitment to food innovation extends beyond retail into food service partnerships. The reintroduction of Beyond The Original Orange Chicken at Panda Express and the expansion of Beyond Nuggets at McDonald's locations in Europe underscore its ability to integrate healthier, plant-based options into mainstream dining. At the same time, Beyond Meat is working to educate consumers on its clean-label approach, challenging misconceptions about plant-based food processing.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- The Low-Carbon Stocks for Sustainable Investors (3) This next article is by an analyst who frequently appears on this podcast: Matt DiLallo. He is also writing about one of his favourite stock picks. His article is titled This Infrastructure Stock Could Be the Best Investment of the Decade. It can be seen on fool.com. Now, here are some quotes by Mr. DiLallo on his recommendation. “Brookfield Infrastructure (BIPC) (BIP) has an embarrassment of riches. The leading global infrastructure company is capitalizing on not one but three massive global megatrends: decarbonization, deglobalization, and digitalization. Those catalysts help drive the company's view that the world needs to invest an astounding $100 trillion over the next 15 years to maintain, upgrade, and build infrastructure. Given its leadership in the sector, it could be one of the best investments over the next decade as it capitalizes on massive opportunities to invest in infrastructure. Multiple growth drivers Brookfield Infrastructure believes that a trio of organic drivers will grow its funds from operations (FFO) by 6% to 9% per share each year. They are: Inflation indexation: Brookfield's infrastructure businesses produce very stable cash flow backed by long-term contracts and government-regulated rate structures, many of which link rates to inflation. Those escalators should boost its funds from operations per share by 3% to 4% per year. GDP growth Reinvested cash flow: Brookfield pays out 60% to 70% of its stable cash flows via dividends. It retains the rest to fund high-return organic expansion projects, which should drive another 2%-3% (in) annual funds from operations per-share growth… A trio of value enhancers Brookfield Infrastructure's megatrend-powered catalysts position it to grow its earnings at a more than 10% annual rate for many years to come. On top of that, it pays a more than 4%-yielding dividend that should continue growing at a healthy rate. Those factors alone position the company to deliver total returns of around 15% per year. Meanwhile, there's additional upside potential from an expansion in its valuation multiple. This high total return potential could make Brookfield one of the best investments over the next decade, especially when factoring in its much lower risk profile.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- The Low-Carbon Stocks for Sustainable Investors (4) Now, my final article is by another analyst on fool.com. Her name is Robin Hartill, and the article is titled How to Buy Constellation Energy Stock (CEG). Here's some of what Ms. Hartill says of her pick. “Constellation Energy (CEG) is the largest provider of carbon-free energy in the U.S., supplying about 10% of the nation's zero-carbon electricity. The Baltimore-based company's nuclear, hydro, wind, and solar generation facilities power about 16 million homes in the U.S. The company was established in 1999 as a part of Constellation Energy Group but later merged with Exelon Group (EXC) in 2012. Constellation Energy then spun off to become its own publicly traded company in 2022, focusing primarily on nuclear and renewable energy. In January 2025, Constellation Energy announced plans to acquire Calpine, a privately held company that's the leading generator of electricity from natural gas and geothermal resources in the U.S., for a net purchase price of $26.6 billion. The merger will create the largest provider of clean energy in the U.S. Last year, the company also made headlines when it inked a deal with Microsoft (MSFT) to restart a Three Mile Island nuclear power plant and power its artificial intelligence (AI) data center. If you want to invest in the transition to clean energy, buying Constellation Energy stock could be a smart move… Is Constellation Energy stock profitable? Constellation Energy stock is profitable. The company reported generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) net income of $11.89 per share and adjusted operating earnings of $8.67 per share for fiscal 2024, easily beating the top end of its twice-revised guidance range of $8 to $8.40 per share. In the fourth quarter of 2024, it posted adjusted earnings per share of $2.44, well above the analyst consensus of $2.19. The company's Q4 and full-year earnings report contained several other pieces of good news for investors. Constellation Energy said it completed $1 billion worth of share repurchases in 2024 and grew its dividend by 25%. It also received a credit ratings upgrade from Moody's, which could make it cheaper for the company to borrow money for projects that will power its growth. Constellation Energy pays annual dividends of $1.41, which works out to a dividend yield of 0.44% based on its share price as of mid-February 2025. That may not be the kind of dividend yield that excites income investors, considering that many utility stocks have yields well north of 3%. But the stock could be worth snatching up if you're looking for dividend growth. Since becoming its own publicly traded company in 2022, Constellation Energy has increased its dividend every year. The company said in its 2024 annual report that it expects to hike its dividend by another 10% in 2025.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Additional article links 1.

Episode 992: The first show of 2025 is full of crackers fit for FFO 2025 come December!

Watch out for record fraud when shopping. With technology, shopping has become so easy and set records in 2024 of around $5.3 trillion. While this by itself is a problem as some people are over shopping, it has also invited more fraud than ever before and for the first three quarters of 2024 there was an increase of 14.5% to $8.7 billion of shoppers who lost money to fraud. Two things are happening here. First, consumers may be too emotionally excited about the purchase and they forget to look for scams that could be happening to them. The second item is the scammers are becoming smarter about how to scam people and they are making it more difficult to detect. To avoid being scammed, it is always wise to deal with a company that you know. However, even that may not guarantee your safety. Scammers can now use names that look very similar to the names you know. They can do this by simply adding or deleting a period or a letter somewhere in the title. So before you make that purchase, be sure it is the correct site that you want to be at and you're not sending your money to some scammer from across the world!   Should you be investing in airline stocks with the record year they've had? It has been quite the year for airline stocks and there have been huge one-year gains for United Airlines at 138% and Delta Airlines at 49%. While it was a laggard compared with its peers, American Airlines still posted a strong return of 29%. It is forecasted for holiday travel between December 19th and January 6th, there will be a record number of travelers at 54 million. Since our economy was reopened after Covid, consumers continue to enjoy traveling, which has benefited the airlines. Even with the record number of travelers and the large gains for the airline stocks, they still trade at reasonable price to earnings ratios of 9.7 for United Airlines, 10.1 for Delta and 10.5 for American Airlines. My concern is could this be a value trap going forward? The low price to earnings ratio might suck you in only to see a slowdown in travelers in 2025. We could also see a little bit higher oil prices based on production not coming online quick enough to keep up with demand, which would hurt the profit margins for these companies. While they might look enticing, I wouldn't be interested in adding these positions to my portfolio at this time.   Could you benefit from the private prison boom that may happen in 2025? In 2025 there could be a huge demand for detention centers and investors may benefit from investing in the private detention center called CoreCivic Inc, trading under the symbol CXW. CoreCivic has a market cap of about $2.4 billion and a FFO on a forward basis of $1.79. The company could benefit from recent statements from ICE saying it will need enough beds to detain a minimum of 100,000 migrants. The agency already has funding for 41,500 beds. Their competitor GEO has a head start already housing about 40% of ICE detainees. It should be noted that CoreCivic was at $14 the day before the election and it climbed to $22 the day after. There was concern that some banks would withdraw funding from companies who participated in the immigrant detentions, however it appears that CoreCivic does not need any new capital to bring on new facilities or bring back idle facilities. The high estimate for deportation would be 1 million people in one year at a cost of $88 billion. It is estimated that there were 11 million undocumented migrants in the US as of 2022. These higher dollars could benefit the private prisons as a quick alternative if there is no room in the county jails. I was disappointed that the company does not pay a dividend, but it has pulled back from a recent high of $24.99 a share to under $22 a share. At the price the stock would trade at a reasonable 12.29x the estimated FFO for 2025. An executive from the private company GEO group spoke about an unprecedented opportunity for their company, it could be a good investment opportunity for the small investor as well.   “Big Social Security Changes Coming” The Social Security Fairness Act is set to be signed into law next week and will impact Social Security benefits for millions of Americans.  This bipartisan bill will eliminate the “Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP)” and the “Government Pension Offset (GPO)” which currently reduce social security benefits for workers and spouses who have public pensions.  The Windfall Elimination Provision applies when someone has worked a job where they paid into Social Security and also a job where they did not pay into Social Security and receive a pension instead.  In this case, the Social Security benefits are reduced based on how many years they paid into Social Security.  The Government Pension Offset applies when a spouse is entitled to a Social Security spousal or widow benefit but they also worked a job where they did not pay into Social Security themselves.  In this case, the amount of their pension reduces the Social Security benefits they are entitled to receive.  With the passing of this new Social Security act and the elimination of the WEP and GPO, Americans who were having Social Security benefits reduced will no longer see a reduction.  This is one of the largest changes to Social Security in the last several years.  The downside is, the increased benefits will cause the Social Security trust fund to run out sooner, even if the elimination results in a fairer benefit system.    Companies Discussed: Tidewater Inc (TDW), Constellation Brands, Inc. (STZ), Carvana Co. (CVNA) & VeriSign, Inc. (VRSN)

Tanger Factory Outlet Centers recently held their earnings call for Q1 2024 where CEO, Stephen J. Yalof conveyed critical financial indicators to investors. Although there were no numerical specifics regarding revenue, net income, funds from operations (FFO), and occupancy rates, Yalof's statements provide an indication of positive performance for this period.During the call, the company's resilience in managing the COVID-19 pandemic was notable. Methods such as implementing comprehensive safety measures, providing rent relief programs, and initiating innovative cost reduction strategies were broadly utilised, aiding in offsetting the deleterious impacts of the pandemic.The call alluded to several factors that influenced the company's performance in Q1 2024. These included shifting consumer behaviors, changes in shopping traffic, store closures and openings, and effectiveness of marketing efforts.Regarding the future, Yalof and team discussed their expectations for the remainder of 2024 on the call. There were mentions of potential challenges, yet they also highlighted the anticipation of growth opportunities, new projects, and cost-saving initiatives, which could shape their performance.In closing, the company managed to maintain financial performance and display essential resilience amidst the ongoing challenges posed by the pandemic, as revealed on the earnings call. While the company expressed optimism for its future, it's necessary to note such forward-looking statements inherently carry uncertainties and actual results may differ. Given these varied contributing factors and expectations, Tanger Factory Outlet Centers' trajectory for the rest of 2024 remains a topic for close observation. This is a public episode.

Three members of Citi's global real estate research team—Nick Joseph in the U.S., Aaron Guy in the U.K., and Howard Penny in Australia—were guests on the latest episode of the Nareit REIT Report podcast. Amid the market cross currents of slower global economic growth, offset to some extent by anticipated lower interest rates, “we are generally constructive on commercial real estate in 2024,” Joseph said. At the same time, Citi's 2024 global real estate outlook also stresses the importance of stock picking, rather than broader sector and subsector allocations.For the U.S., Citi is projecting total returns for REITs of 10% to 15% in 2024, with adjusted FFO growth of about 3%. “Growth is being driven by slowing but still solid operating results, development and the redevelopment benefit that is coming on, and the retention of free cash flow,” Joseph said.

Episode 22 takes us to small-town surburbia where I'm joined by DEVAUGHN TAYLOR, co-host of the Specter Cinema Club, filmmaker and disco daddy. DeVaughn's FFO of provocative, luscious and sticky is maybe my favourite to date (I know, I know, I say it all the time), and led us to the perfect culmination of teenage angst and bloodlust in a 2010's cult classic. So say your prayers, sharpen your scalpels and get ready to dissect the monstrous feminine, the philosophy of psychopathy and the life-changing power of embracing your bodily functions, in Richard Bates Jr.'s EXCISION.

Welcome to my podcast episode 88 published on July 29, 2022, titled “ESG Energy Stocks for 3Q 2022” — and presented by Investing for the Soul. Investingforthesoul.com is your site for vital global ethical and sustainable investing mentoring, news, commentary, information, and resources. Remember that you can find a full transcript, and links to content – including stock symbols, quotes, and bonus material – at this episode's podcast page located at investingforthesoul.com/podcasts. Now if any terms are unfamiliar to you, simply Google them. Also, just a reminder. I do not evaluate any of the stocks or funds mentioned in these podcasts, nor do I receive any compensation from anyone covered in these podcasts. Furthermore, I will reveal to you any personal investments I have in the investments mentioned herein. Please note that my next podcast will be either September 2 or 9. I'm taking August off to work on some projects. ------------------------------------------------------------- 1. ESG Energy Stocks for 3Q 2022 Now it seems that most analysts' ESG recommendations in the media continue to focus on ESG energy stocks and funds. So, I have several articles with that view. The first one is titled Top Alternative Energy Stocks for Q3 2022. It's by Nathan Reiff. Found at investorpedia.com. Now some quotes. “Here are the top three alternative energy stocks with the best value, the fastest growth, and the most momentum… 1) Daqo New Energy Corp. (DQ) Is a China-based solar energy company that manufactures polysilicon for sale to manufacturers of solar cells and modules. The company also manufactures photovoltaic wafers. Daqo reported earnings for Q1 2022 on April 21. Net income attributable to shareholders surged by over sixfold while revenues quintupled year-over-year (YOY). This performance was driven in part by a jump in polysilicon sales volume. 2) Excelerate Energy Inc. (EE) Is a liquified natural gas (LNG) company. It offers regasified natural gas delivery, storage, and other related services. It has operations around the globe. On May 20, the company reported that it had signed a 10-year contract with a subsidiary of Gasgrid Finland Oy to charter a floating storage and regasification vessel. The vessel will serve Finland and the Baltic region with liquefied natural gas and related services. 3) Iberdrola SA (IBDRY) Is a Spain-based multinational electric utility company. The company engages in the generation, distribution, and trading of electricity. It specializes in clean energy, including onshore and offshore wind, and solar energy.” End quotes. My comment about Daqo. It's still being accused of using forced labor. ------------------------------------------------------------- 2. ESG Energy Stocks for 3Q 2022 Now, here's the second article in this ESG energy stocks theme titled Ameresco: Alternative Energy's Best Near-Term Capital Gain Prospect. By Peter F. Way on seekingalpha.com. Here are some quotes from Mr. Way's blog. “A 3-5 month prospect from here of Ameresco share prices could reasonably range from a $46.00 low to $58.80 high from its present price of $47.30, a +24.3% gain. From Yahoo Finance. Quote. ‘Ameresco, Inc., (NYSE:AMRC) (is) a clean technology integrator, provides a portfolio of energy efficiency and renewable energy supply solutions in the United States, Canada, and internationally. It offers energy efficiency, infrastructure upgrades, energy security and resilience, asset sustainability, and renewable energy solutions for businesses and organizations… In addition, the company sells photovoltaic (PV) solar energy products and systems, as well as provides consulting and enterprise energy management services; and owns and operates a wind power project located in Ireland… As of December 31, 2021, the company owned and operated 147 small-scale renewable energy plants and solar PV installations.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 3. ESG Energy Stocks for 3Q 2022 And a third article in the ESG energy stock space titled Alternative Energy Stock Quietly Having a Great Year. By Schaeffer's Digital Content Team on schaeffersresearch.com. This is some of what the team has to say. “Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENPH) Is a global energy technology company and a supplier of microinverter-based solar and battery systems. The company's semiconductor-based microinverter system converts energy at the individual solar module level and brings a system-based high-technology approach to solar energy generation, storage, control, and management. The company has shipped more than 45 million microinverters, and over 2.0 million Enphase-based systems have been deployed in more than 135 countries… On the charts, ENPH is up roughly 17% in 2022… Enphase Energy stock offers a rich valuation at a price-earnings ratio of 55.87 and a price-sales ratio of 18.24. Nonetheless, the company has maintained high and consistent growth rate over multiple years, which has helped the market justify the company's inflated valuation… Enphase Energy is also expected to grow its revenues and earnings 31.7% and 22.9%, respectively, for fiscal 2023.” End quotes ------------------------------------------------------------- 4. ESG Energy Stocks for 3Q 2022 And a fourth article in this ESG energy stocks vein is titled 3 Most Undervalued Renewable Energy Stocks to Buy. By Will Ashworth on InvestorPlace.com. Among Mr. Ashworth's comments are the following. “1) Brookfield Renewable Corporation (NYSE:BEPC) Was created so that investors could invest in its renewable power assets through a corporation rather than a limited partnership… The company's June 2022 annual shareholder's meeting highlighted that Brookfield Renewable Corporation generated $934 million in funds from operations (FFO) in 2021, 10% higher than a year earlier… In the five years between 2021 and 2026, it expects to grow funds from operations by 10% or more annually… For those who want a more diversified portfolio, you can own Brookfield Renewable Corporation indirectly through Brookfield Asset Management (NYSE:BAM), which owns 26% of the company. Brookfield Asset Management stock is down 25% year-to-date.   You won't go wrong owning Brookfield Asset Management over the long haul.    2) NextEra Energy Partners LP (NYSE:NEP) Is a growth-oriented limited partnership created by its parent company, NextEra Energy (NYSE:NEE), in June 2014. It owns wind and solar projects, natural gas, and infrastructure assets in the U.S… It (seeks) to grow LP distributions by 12% to 15% per year between 2019 and 2024. So far, it's increased them by approximately 15% per year… Its annualized distributions since its IPO have increased by 290%, from 75 cents to $2.93 at the end of 2021.   Down 9.4% YTD, I wouldn't say that NextEra Energy Partners LP is a screaming buy, but it's not overpriced either. 3) Ameresco (NYSE:AMRC) (Yes again!) Is (in) the business of owning renewable assets and helping others implement clean energy solutions for their businesses… In 22 short years, Ameresco's completed more than $11 billion in energy solution projects for more than 8,000 customers worldwide. In addition, it owns 353 million watts of energy (MWe) assets for solar, landfill gas, renewable natural gas (RNG), and battery storage… Ameresco has been able to increase its revenues since 2017 by more than 21% annually, from $717 million in 2017 to an estimated $1.87 billion in 2022. Over the same period, the company has grown its adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) by 27.1% annually.   With Ameresco stock down more than 46% YTD, it's trading at the same levels it did in December 2020, 18 months ago. Under $40 would be a perfect entry point. ” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 5. ESG Energy Stocks for 3Q 2022 In this next article Brookfield Renewable Corporation and NextEra Energy Partners LP are again recommended. It's titled 2 Unstoppable Renewable Energy Stocks to Buy for the Next Decade. By Matthew DiLallo. On fool.com. “1) Brookfield Renewable (BEPC) Brookfield Renewable operates a globally diversified portfolio of renewable energy and energy transition assets. It currently generates 21 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy… Its assets produce steady cash flows backed by long-term power purchase agreements… Brookfield anticipates that mergers and acquisitions will add up to 9% per share to its bottom line each year. The company recently raised a record $15 billion for an energy transition fund to help companies decarbonize their operations. That's giving it additional capital to complete deals, positioning it to further capitalize on the decarbonization megatrend.  2) NextEra Energy, Inc. (NEE) NextEra Energy operates Florida Power & Light (FPL), a leading electric utility in the state, and NextEra Energy Resources, a large-scale clean energy infrastructure business… The energy resources unit operates natural gas pipelines, renewable energy generating facilities, battery storage operations, and electricity transmission lines that generate steady cash flow backed by long-term fee-based contracts. The company… recently unveiled its Real Zero strategy to eliminate its carbon emissions by 2045. Florida Power & Light is undertaking the largest solar energy expansion in the nation, which it's supplementing with large-scale battery storage deployment. It also aims to replace natural gas in its power plants with green hydrogen and renewable natural gas… Management expects profits to grow by more than 10% this year. It then foresees them expanding at the high end of its 6% to 8% target range through at least 2025. That should give the utility the funds to grow its 2.1%-yielding dividend by at least 10% annually through 2024.” End quotes. Incidentally, Florida Power & Light is just accused of unethical competitive behavior. ------------------------------------------------------------- Top Solar Panel Companies 2022 Finally, this article is not a stock recommendation but rather an interesting assessment of solar panel makers available in the US. It's titled Top Solar Panel Companies 2022 and by Lisa Iscrupe on saveonenergy.com. Here is some of what Ms. Iscrupe and fellow researchers say. Quote. “The solar industry is a combination of many business sectors. From solar installers to dealers to solar panel manufacturers, navigating your solar energy journey can take time. When you are researching solar panels for your home, one place that's good to start is with the solar panel company or manufacturer that you want. Based on our research, here's our top 10 solar panel companies: Canadian Solar Inc. Jinko Solar SunPower CertainTeed LG Tesla First Solar Inc. Lumos Hanwha REC Solar End quotes. There's much more information on their site. ------------------------------------------------------------- 3 High-Yield Infrastructure Stocks to Buy Now Now we turn from ESG energy stocks to infrastructure with an article titled 3 High-Yield Infrastructure Stocks to Buy Now. It's by Daniel Foelber, Scott Levine, and Lee Samaha. Again on fool.com. Now one of the recommendations is Kinder Morgan, an oil-gas pipeline company. Hence, I'm leaving it out. “1) Scott Levine picks Brookfield Infrastructure (BIPC) (BIP) … Currently offers an enticing forward dividend yield of 3.8%. With global operations in North and South America, Europe, and the Asia Pacific region, Brookfield Infrastructure has a worldwide presence in a variety of infrastructure projects including (but not limited to) natural gas pipelines and storage, data centers, toll roads, and electricity transmission… investors should be relieved to learn that 90% of the company's debt is a fixed rate… Should the company return $2.16 to unitholders in 2022 as it plans, it will represent an approximate 10% compound annual growth rate for its distribution since 2009. Looking ahead, management has targeted continued annual distribution growth of 5% to 9%. 2) Lee Samaha recommends Hubbell (HUBB) There aren't many industrial companies whose earnings are trending ahead of initial expectations going into 2022, but Hubbell is one of them. Management began 2022 forecasting organic sales growth of 8%-10% and adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $8.75–$9.25 only to raise it to 11%-13% and $9-$9.40 on the first-quarter earnings call in late April… The company makes electrical equipment, meters, connection products, and lighting fixtures. About 56% of its sales go to the utility market (mainly transmission and distribution), with 44% to electrical solutions (electrical products, connection, and bonding). There's a need to replace the infrastructure of an aging U.S. electrical grid… No company will be truly safe from a recession, but Hubbell stands to do relatively well. Throw in a 2.3% dividend yield, and the stock is attractive for investors.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Other Honorable Mentions – not in any order, links on this podcast's webpage 1) Title This Renewable-Energy Juggernaut Continues to Produce Powerful Results on fool.com.

On today's episode I'm joined by horror model and host of Horror and More with Anya Gorre - the one and only, gorgeous Anya Gorre! Anya's modelling is intensely scary and sexy all at once - she's dedicated to capturing the perfect spooky shot, even if it means heading into abandoned buildings and (unknowingly) possibly active crime scenes. Her style preferences were also reflected in her FFO of blood, occult and nighttime. As it's the season finale, I knew we had to go out with a bang. And that's why Anya and me are analysing, in INTENSE DETAIL, Ari Aster's 2018 demonic debut, HEREDITARY. Apologies for a little audio scratchiness on this one - just blame Paimon.

On today's episode I'm joined by my first guest from down under, Cat Benstead. If you don't know and love Cat's work, are you even a member of the horror community? Not only is she the host of TGIF Podcast, the co-host of the fangtastic Club Dead podcast, she's also the founder of Hear Us Scream, an inclusive online outlet for writers in horror AND Cat is the co-editor of the soon-to-be duo anthology of essays from women and NB people in horror, also titled Hear Us Scream. I'm so honoured and excited to be part of Hear Us Scream Vol. 2, and working more with Cat in the future. Cat's FFO of badass, bloody, action threw the doors WIDE open so an amazing selection of action-horrors, and we eventually settled on Robert Rodriguez's 2007 grindhouse masterpiece, PLANET TERROR.

Are you ready for some CHAOS? Join us as we discuss the incredibly fun and infinitely meme-able latest entry in the Final Fantasy franchise. We dig into its slow-burn story, disappointing side characters, engaging job system, and how Jason only ever wants to be a samurai.

On today's episode I'm joined by Ariel Hansen, filmmaker, actor and co-founder of Bad Cookie Pictures. Ariel is one of the many guests who has left me floored with her creativity - from her directing and acting talents to her clothes and costume-making skills. Her short film Nepenthes is a gooey, gory delight and just one of her many fantastic works. With her FFO of supernatural, occult and experiment, I decided to take a risk and choose a film neither of us had seen before. It doesn't fully match the FFO but we had a wonderful time talking about it and I'd certainly list this as one of my favourite modern moody horrors. Join Ariel and I as we drift off to a surreal and shadowy slumber with 2021's COME TRUE.

On today's episode I'm joined by Rebecca McCallum, film journalist, assistant editor for Ghouls Mag and author of Mums + Sons zine. Rebecca is one of the most hard-working women in horror, having had her writing featured in Rue Morgue, Dread Central and Grim Magazine, as well as her series with Moving Pictures film club about the Women of Hitchcock AND her recently published pocketbook. I knew having Rebecca on the show meant incredibly thoughtful analysis and amazing insights, and her FFO of Gothic, dreams and women leant itself perfectly to a film deserving of such: Roman Polanski's 1968 meditation on the horrors of motherhood and misogyny: ROSEMARY'S BABY. Join Rebecca and I as we dissect one of the most important, troubled, terrifying and relevant horror films of our time. Vodka blush anyone?

On today's episode I'm joined by Joe Chen, drummer and vocalist for UK death metal band Vacuous, and writer/review for Grinding Horror Zine. Joe's music taste might be on the blacker side, but his FFO of uncanny, heartless and colour was a welcome challenge; after all, an iconic colour palette is integral to the mood of any good horror. Alex Garland's 2018 trippy sci-fi biobodyhorror has colour in abundance; nauseating yellows and lush forest greens all seeping through the migraine-inducing spill of the Shimmer. Join Joe and I as we discuss disease, decay and death metal. Check out Joe on Instagram: @joforworms Vacuous band: @vacuousdeath Zine: @grindinghorrorzine HBF Cover art: @tbombadil

On today's episode I'm joined by Jolene-Marie Richardson, costume designer for The Last Drive In and many other amazing projects, fashion historian and co-host of @todyefor - a podcast on horror, history and costuming. Jolene's eye for style is evident in her FFO of retro, camp and grit - and frankly there was no other film I'd rather discuss than Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses. Listen now to hear Jolene tell us all off about the phrase ‘assless chaps' and laugh at me struggle incessantly with the phrase ‘Firefly Family', Check out all of Jolene's work at: jolenemariedesigns.com Podcast: @todyeforpodcast Instagram: @jolenemarie_designs HBF Cover art: @tbombadil Music: @birdengine

On today's episode I'm joined by Ariel and Candace, hosts of the Not Your Final Girl podcast Ariel and Candace delivered a mega FFO of queer, slow burn, woods, body horror and folk horror. With such amazing words we were spoiled for choice, but eventually settled on Lukas Fiegelfeld's 2017 impossibly bleak, effortless gorgeous Hagazussa. I was suffering from a ‘welcome back to the UK' cold during recording so I'm sorry for sniffing on the mic every 3 seconds. CW: this episode contains discussion of rape, sexual assault and infanticide.

On today's episode I'm joined by alt-pop singer-songwriter and horror fan Maryze. Maryze's FFO was: campy, feminist and psychological twist. While the ‘psychological' aspect of this movie might be up for debate, it's full of twists and turns, games and japes and a family tradition to die for. That's right, it's time for hide and seek with 2019's READY OR NOT (Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett). LET ME KNOW ON IG - where would you hide in the Le Domas mansion?

On today's episode I'm joined by Ariel Powers-Schaub, Administrative Assistant, senior contributor and fellow writer for GhoulsMag.com. Ariel's FFO was campy, stunts and blood - so how could we not go for something so utterly batshit crazy and fun? Join Ariel and I as we slip and slide around the bloodbaths of dystopian Tokyo in Yoshihiro Nishimura's 2008 Tokyo Gore Police. Katana-legged BDSM pets? Ok! Crocodile vaginas? Sure! Human flesh chairs? Why the hell not!?

On today's episode I'm joined by Jessie, a fellow horror reviewer and curator of gorgeous, colour coordinated screenshots over on Instagram @softxdeath. Jessie and I knew that today we didn't even need an FFO - our topic was pretty much decided for us via a mutual obsession for Konami's 2001 psychological survival horror game, Silent Hill 2. Join Jessie and I as we navigate through the decaying wasteland that is James Sunderland's subconscious, lament the death of Pyramid Head at the hands of consumerism and wonder if we will ever get to play PT. Check out Jessie's Instagram @softxdeath. Jessie is such a selfless and supportive member of our community, so please consider donating to the multiple good causes she has curated on her linktree!

On today's episode I'm joined by Tori Potenza, co-host of Killer B's podcast and staff writer at Movie Jawn zine. Tori's FFO was: revenge, paranormal, neon - and while Panos Cosmatos' Mandy seemed like an obvious choice, we decided to treat ourselves to a first watch of his 2010 debut, Beyond the Black Rainbow. Join Tori and I as we navigate the pulsing prison of the Arboria Institute and chat about the illusion of control, classic VHS covers and questionable interior design choices. Unfortunately, not long after recording I did develop a crush on Dr. Nyle. I know, I know.

On today's episode I'm joined by Alice Taylor-Matthews, Evil Dead 2 enthusiast and stand up comedian. Alice and I both have experience with weird cultish rituals from our respective hometowns in the UK, and as her FFO was Twin Peaks, shiny, outdoors - what other choice could there be except Robin Hardy's 1973 folk horror The Wicker Man? Join us as we discuss the connections between horror and comedy, gay subtext, Christopher Lee's stunning wig and apes eating faces.

For Episode 3 I'm joined by Joel H. Brewster, a fellow horror writer, filmmaker and podcaster over at No Stranger to Horror and writer at westcoaststrange. Joel's FFO was bleak, gory and twisted, and so we decided to chat about Can Evernol's 2015 sordid cesspit Baskin. Join Joel and I as we discuss all manner of hellish topics including trypophobia, police brutality and my appalling pronunciation of the Turkish language. Let us know what you think: are these cops destined to spend eternity getting their eyeballs licked? And Can Evernol if you hear this, can we please have a Baskin video game?

For the very first episode of the HBF podcast I'm joined by Clare Wright otherwise known as @sundayyscaries, horror style fashionista and curator of the Sunday Scaries film club. Claire's FFO was beauty, surreal and paranoia, so naturally it had to be Lynch; specifically his 2001 magnum opus Mulholland Drive. Join Clare and I as we ascend through the twisted darkness of the Hollywood hills, into a tale of jealousy, depression and the depths of the sleeping subconscious. Let us know what you think: WHY are these old people so small? WHO is the girl? And is there a canonical existence of a Lynch/Sex and the City Extended Universe?
