Yahoo Finance Cannabis Industry Service Provider Solving Major Challenges
HENDERSON, NV / ACCESSWIRE / October 5, 2018 / One of the major reasons cannabis stocks are doing so well is because they are potential solutions to long standing challenges, such as the opioid epidemic.
One of the largest challenges facing our world is providing energy for our growing population. Primary energy consumption growth averaged 2.2% in 2017, up from 1.2 % last year and the fastest since 2013. This compares with the 10-year average of 1.7% per year. Energy consumption rose by 3.1% in China. China was the largest growth market for energy for the 17th consecutive year.
A very interesting microgrid company recently discovered CLSK (CleanSpark, Inc.). CLSK provides the Best-in-Class microgrid solution to the cannabis industry. If this is your first time hearing about CLSK, starting doing your own due diligence right away. CLSK could start receiving increased attention from the street at any moment. Those that find CLSK before the rest of the crowd, could be in store for an incredible run. CLSK for instance, made a deal to acquire Pioneer Power Solutions. Since making the deal, Pioneer has already locked in $2.4 million of new business from the US State Department for the embassy in Beirut.
One of the largest expenses, and potentially biggest risks within the cannabis industry is energy cost and energy resiliency. Cleanspark has worked with major cannabis players to ensure the lights stay on, and the economics are optimized in real-time.
CleanSpark, Inc. has made some big news recently announcing a deal to acquire Pioneer Power Solutions. Since making the deal, Pioneer has already locked in $2.4 million of business. CLSK has been gaining in valuation and average volume since announcing the deal, but looks like it has quite a bit of growth left as the company has been announcing major progress on their proprietary value optimizer which is the kind of technology that the big boys crave.
CLSK won't be at these prices for long, so the time to act is now.
