who will deliver a presentation on:
 
The Changing Energy Mix – Understanding the Winners and Loser, and the Role of Metals in Miners in the Upcoming Shifts
 
To Register:
RSVP to vancouver@cimmes.org and indicate that they are a CAIA member/candidate.
Abstract: Gianni Kovacevic’s soon to be published book, My Electrician Drives A Porsche? Investing in the Rise of the New Spending Class, highlights the fast pace with which emerging markets continue to increase their economic footprint, and the driver of basic human progress: energy. His paper on the changing energy mix will offer valuable insights as to why metals and miners are bound to play a critical role in de-carbonizing energy.
 
Perhaps the most contested factor with greener and cleaner energy is timeline. He continues to provide hard evidence that the future is indeed now. Better put, some of the renewable energy ideas that were science fiction fads twenty years ago, and even five years ago, have given way to incredible technological advances supported by metals.
 
The caption from the back cover of his book hopefully captures the imagination of potential readers, both technical and otherwise:
 
A weekend service call changes the life of Doc Anderson forever. Johnny, the surprisingly wealthy energy whiz-kid, introduces Doc to a compelling new investment theme – following the rise of a new spending class. As they set course on a fact-filled adventure, Doc’s eyes are opened to the impact that billions of new consumers will have on our environment and how their entrance to our fast-changing world will figure into the economy of the future. Through this journey, he too becomes a hyper-aware participant in the boundless opportunities for responsible wealth creation with his new-found knowledge base in what makes realistic environmentalism possible.
During his presentation, Gianni will bring these ideas and concepts to life in a way everyone will fully understand and hopefully echo across all sectors in support of the mining industry.
 
BIO: Gianni has enlightened audiences around the world with his unique insights into wide ranging topics such as modern energy, the rise of the new spending class and how the environment and investment often go hand-in-hand. An avid proponent of realistic environmentalism, he is frequently interviewed by the media with his unique way of applying the algebraic way of thinking to solving global problems. His new book, My Electrician Drives a Porsche? – a journey of personal enlightenment into appreciating the rise of the new spending class – will be released across the United States and Canada in February 2016 by Greenleaf Book Group.
 
Fluent in English, German, Italian, and Croatian, Gianni makes his home in Vancouver, Canada. @RealisticEnviro
