Is Biomass Green

Victor Menasce
About this episode

In the world of economics, it’s vital to understand energy. Energy is the economy. The economy and real estate are connected through multiple threads.

The ESG movement of environmental sustainability and governance has its heart in the right place. The problem is the so-called greenwashing which is the process of adopting the branding of something green and environmentally friendly, but doing something dirty under the covers. 

On today's show we are going to be digging into some pretty shocking movements under the banner of ESG.
