Network Closed-Cycle Conformance…. (…to Upgrade your PE!) Prasad Rao, MTech, PhD PennState Director, AltKuznets Sustainability Advisors Click here for the Biz Sales Office For decades, the Capital markets that valued Firm Equities, focussed unvaryingly on expanding Markets, Sales Volumes, Revenues and Profits.

These divestments have created large regional networks administered and operated either by quasi-regulatory entities, or elsewhere, by a consortium of Suppliers and Consumers. Today, the Electricity Market is significantly more competitive and dyna...

Internal Democracy, however, is just as important as peace and friendly relations with neighboring nations. That internal democracy obtains when the Majority, comprising of Precinct permanent residents, despite its numbers, voluntarily accepts democracy-enforced egalitarian rights through free and fair elections, and turns in its Real prerogatives on Minorities and Immigrants over to the democratically-elected Government. The Government, post eliciting the preferences and votes from the society, applies a larger social and political logic to enac...
