The Green Bay Packers have turned into a nice little investment hub.shows that, as of March, it boasts an investment fund worth $533 million, 8.6% more than the prior year. The Packers fund their investments with operating profits, which were $77 million last year.

Since 2013, the size of the portfolio has nearly doubled . In 1998, the team’s investment fund was only $61 million, meaning it has increased nearly nine-fold over the past 24 years.

Anti-nuclear Austria files legal challenge to EU green investment rulesStaunchly anti-nuclear Austria said on Friday it had followed through on a pledge to file a legal challenge to the European Union's inclusion of natural gas and nuclear energy in a list of 'green' investments. The Austrians are living in la-la land. I’m pro wind/solar, but claims they are super green are nonsense. As absurd as making nuke power out to be non-green. We need a balanced approach to get off fossil fuels and examine the pros/cons of every energy solution thoroughly.
