My PPT for the Energy Segment
It looks like that the pandemic will accelerate the adoption of electric powered vehicles - production slowed down, old inventory being reduced, supply chain halted etc. In the next 20 years the markets may show better adoption of EVs – that may reach 50% of all driven cars. Could EV driving range approach 1000 miles with newer battery technology ? How much power will need to be installed on each house ? How will trucks recharge ?
What will happen to – Gas stations, Auto repair, insurance . . . .
Also - The technology for self driving cars is maturing, so - Do self-driving EVs bring more riders to market or less ? Why own a car if one can come to you and pick you up ? Is this “rental by the minute” ? Who will own all those fleets of cars ?
What are the new markets going to address in this segment ?
Post Election - how do Women influence the future Markets ? Will there be a lot of new Women owned business opening post-covid ? what types of Businesses will they be ?

Silicon Valley is not suffering a tech exodus, and money is flowing in at record rate — for a fortunate few
New data show little proof that people are leaving the Bay Area in droves, instead detailing record investment in startups and booming market caps for Big Tech while the region’s poor residents suffer brunt of COVID-19 pandemic
Despite reports of an exodus, Silicon Valley remains the tech capital of the world, with new data showing continued record investment in the industry in 2020 and no overall declines in jobs and population in the region.
The Top-15 tech firms in the region had sales of $1.35 trillion in 2020, which would give them the 15th-highest GDP in the world collectively, while comprising nearly 40% of Silicon Valley tech jobs
The chasm between the Top-15 tech employers in Silicon Valley and their smaller peers is just as glaring. The anointed group — Apple Inc. AAPL, Google, Cisco Systems Inc. CSCO, Tesla Inc. TSLA, Facebook Inc. FB, Intel Corp. INTC, Gilead Sciences Inc. GILD, Oracle Corp. ORCL, Lockheed Martin Corp. LMT, Nvidia Corp. NVDA, LinkedIn and parent company, Microsoft Corp. MSFT, Amazon, Salesforce.com Inc. CRM, and Uber Technologies Inc. UBER — had sales of roughly $1.35 trillion in 2020, which would give them collectively the 15th-highest gross domestic product in the world, between Spain and Mexico.
