Banking (and lending) for the eco-conscious masses, with Tim Newell

If you're an individual and you care about the climate, the biggest impact you can have is what you do with your money: where you deposit your money, how you spend your money, and where you invest your money.

Tesla is incredible company, but his core business is the spread business of tax credits. This tax credit economy, creates 1,000s of jobs, brings tourism brings art and culture to the state.
