EVASIVE MOTORSPORTS / ENEOS OIL HONDA S2000RS HEADED TO 2023 PIKES PEAK INTERNATIONAL HILL CLIMB

ENEOS USA

Always excited to test its products at the highest level, ENEOS Motor Oil will again join brand ambassadors Dai Yoshihara and Evasive Motorsports at the annual Race To The Clouds. The legendary Pikes Peak International Hill Climb (PPIHC) takes the team to the 14,115ft summit, tackling 156 challenging turns over the 12.42-mile course. Previous attempts saw the team claim the 2020 Unlimited Class win with its 900hp ENEOS Racing / Evasive Motorsports Toyota 86. It then set the fastest time for an EV in 2022 with the Turn 14 Distribution / Yokohama Tire / ENEOS / Evasive Motorsports Tesla Model 3 Pikes Peak. Constantly seeking new challenges, the team is returning to Colorado this year with the Evasive Motorsports / ENEOS Oil Honda S2000RS. It’s the racing sibling of the team’s recently announced Honda S2000R resto-mod and is based on a 2004 S2000. It was selected because the company has extensive experience racing and tuning the sports car, becoming very familiar with its attributes and strengths. As part of the team's development program, the S2000RS was campaigned in Time Attack races during the 2022 season, where it showed impressive potential. Among its key attributes are nimble handling, thanks to the combination of a lightweight chassis, premium suspension components and high-speed downforce. The Honda also has a healthy power to weight ratio, thanks to its heavily modified Honda F20 four-cylinder motor developing 650hp in a vehicle weighing 2400 lb. POWER To catapult the Evasive Motorsports / ENEOS Oil Honda S2000RS up Pikes Peak, the F20 engine capacity has been increased from 2.0 to 2.4 liters with a 12.5:1 high-compression Toda Racing bore and stroke kit utilizing 87.5mm pistons, I-beam chrome moly fully floating connecting rods, and a 99mm dynamically balanced crankshaft. To help the enlarged engine breathe at altitude, it has a big-valve Toda cylinder head with sports camshafts, Bosch throttle body and RZCrew billet intake manifold ingesting pressurized air from the HKS GT6290 ball-bearing turbocharger. Just like all its previous Pikes Peak attempts, Evasive Motorsports is again using ENEOS Racing 0W-50 synthetic lubricants, which provide superior performance at higher temperatures while protecting critical engine components. And although the previous Tesla Model 3 racer didn’t require engine oil, the car did help to develop the new line of advanced ENEOS EV Fluids that contributed to lower friction and superior cooling. With the engine developing 650hp, the team wanted to evolve the two-seat sports car’s handling by widening the track and improving the aerodynamic downforce. These goals were achieved with a Voltex Circuit Version 3 aero body kit from Japan, which was supplemented by a high-downforce front splitter and rear wing. A carbon fiber Mugen hardtop was also installed to smooth the airflow over the cockpit. In addition to the aero properties, the body modifications improved engine cooling and allowed the team to widen the Honda’s footprint, squeezing 280/650 R18 Yokohama A005 racing slicks under the wider fenders on 18x11” Titan 7 T-P5 forged racing wheels. The team also spent months dialing-in the handling with KW suspension, StopTech brakes and a new Bosch ABS system. A major addition for 2023 is the OS Giken OS-7 sequential transmission with Hollinger pneumatic shifter kit. It provides paddle shifts, allowing Dai to keep his hands on the wheel in the 156 turns. An IP 8.8 differential kit with OS Giken limited-slip internals helps to maximize cornering traction. “We’re extremely optimistic about our chances this year,” said Mike Chang, CEO at Evasive Motorsports. “With years of experience working on the S2000 chassis and the intensive development we put into both our S2000R project and now the S2000RS for Pikes Peak, we’ve set our sights on the Open Class. We’d love to be the first Japanese tuner car to finish under 10min because it’s never been done before. Of course, there are so many things that can go wrong under the pressure of competition, but we feel the 2023 race presents another opportunity to bring home the silverware!” DAI YOSHIHARA Best known for his highly successful Formula DRIFT career, during which he claimed the 2011 PRO Championship title, the Japanese driver is remarkably adaptable behind the wheel. Currently participating in the TC America racing series in a Honda Civic Type R, Dai also has extensive experience in Time Attack, GT racing, driver training and more. The 101st running of the PPIHC will mark Dai’s fifth Race To The Clouds. His first was in 2019 at the wheel of the ENEOS Racing / Evasive Motorsports Toyota 86. A differential problem ended his aspirations, but he returned to claim the Unlimited Class win the following year. In 2021, the team switched to the Turn 14 Distribution / Yokohama Tire / ENEOS / Evasive Motorsports Tesla Model 3 Pikes Peak. The electric power delivery and handling balance demanded a new driving style, and while electrical gremlins scuppered his 2021 ambitions, the team’s efforts were rewarded last year with the fastest climb set by an EV, helped by a wet track. “We’ve had mixed fortunes at Pikes Peak but I feel we have a real chance for a good result this year,” Dai told us. “We’re competing against a lot of fast cars in the Open Class with a 2004 Honda four-cylinder, but I feel really comfortable in the Evasive Motorsports / ENEOS Oil Honda S2000RS. It’s faster than our previous cars and the handling is excellent. The stock S2000 is one of the best handling Japanese sports cars and Evasive has enhanced it with top components, so we’re hoping for a sub-10min time this year – ideally close to 9:50. However, you never know what the weather will do, so it's always a lottery. We’re taking Yokohama slicks and rain tires to ensure we’re prepared, as long as it doesn’t snow!” The 101st running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb takes place on June 25. The Evasive Motorsports / ENEOS Oil Honda S2000RS will also participate in the Pikes Peak Fan Fest, which takes place in downtown Colorado Springs on June 23 from 5-9PM. The team will be meeting fans and handing out swag.

ESG Penny Stocks Every Investor Should Know About (VKIN, SPI, SAENF, HYSR)

CapitalGainsReport - Market & Financial News Commentary

Investing in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) stocks is becoming increasingly popular as more and more individuals and institutions recognize the importance of considering the impact of a company's operations on people, planet, and society. By investing in ESG stocks, you can align your investments with your values, while also potentially earning attractive returns. Additionally, ESG investing has been growing rapidly in recent years, as more companies embrace sustainability and social responsibility, and as regulations become more stringent in these areas. Major ESG stocks are well known for their commitment to sustainability and social responsibility, which has made them popular among socially conscious investors. Companies like Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), have been at the forefront of ESG initiatives, which has contributed to their overall success. However, the high prices of these well-known ESG stocks can be intimidating for many investors, making it difficult for them to get in on the action. This is where smaller, cheaper ESG stocks can present a good opportunity. While these stocks may not have the same level of recognition as their larger counterparts, they may offer attractive valuations and the potential for substantial growth. By investing in smaller ESG stocks, investors can potentially get in on the ground floor of a promising company and benefit from its growth over time. Viking Energy Group Inc. (OTC: VKIN) is a small, yet promising player in the ESG space. The company has a strong focus on acquiring and developing clean energy solutions, making it a great option for those looking for a more socially responsible investment. Furthermore, the company's stock is currently trading at an attractive price, which presents a good opportunity for investors looking to get in on a growing ESG company. Viking Energy Group (OTC: VKIN) is a growth-oriented, diversified energy company. Viking provides customized energy and power solutions to commercial and industrial clients in North America and holds interests in oil and natural gas assets in the United States through a number of subsidiaries in which it holds a majority stake. The technologies covered by VKIN range from carbon capture to green biodiesel production. Viking Energy also has licensing rights to ESG Clean Energy LLC's technology for Canada and 25 other markets in the United States. VKIN obtained a US Patent (No. 11,286,832) last year for the IP and other rights licensed by VKIN from ESG involving a Bottoming Cycle Power System related to its carbon capture technology. The patent describes a 'exhaust-gas-to-exhaust-gas-heat exchanger.' Additionally, the company holds a controlling interest in companies that have the rights to a proprietary, fully developed, and market-ready Medical & Biohazard Waste Treatment System based on Ozone Technology as well as an Open Conductor Detection System for use in the power grid. VKIN recently announced an update regarding its medical waste treatment technology. The United States Patent and Trademark Office has granted U.S. Utility Patent No. 11,565,289 to Viking Ozone Technology, LLC, the company's majority-owned subsidiary. The patent is titled "Multi-Chamber Medical Waste Ozone-Based Treatment Systems and Methods." VKIN states that a related international application is in the works, and in the near future, a few nations will be chosen for national phase coverage. The company believes that the approval of this US patent application will result in the issuance of additional related patents in other countries. This utility patent covers unique Viking Ozone techniques and equipment for using ozone to treat biohazardous waste. Viking plans to use this technology in waste treatment and disposal systems found in care institutions, hospitals, jails, laboratories, and military bases. According to the World Health Organization, managing medical waste requires greater diligence and care in order to avoid negative health effects. As the demand for medical waste grows, it is critical to prioritize waste treatment and disposal options that are both secure and environmentally responsible. VKIN is leading the market with their groundbreaking patent and should be at the top of any astute investor's wishlist for ESG stocks in 2023. Another penny stock operating in the green energy space is Spi Energy Co. Ltd. (NASDAQ: SPI). SPI is a global renewable energy company and provider of solar storage and electric vehicle solutions that was founded in 2006 in California. The company has three core divisions: SolarJuice which has solar wholesale distribution, as well as residential solar and roofing installation and solar module manufacturing, SPI Solar and Orange Power which operates a commercial & utility solar division, and the EdisonFuture/Phoenix Motor EV division. SolarJuice is the leader in renewable energy system solutions for residential and small commercial markets and has extensive operations in the Asia Pacific and North America markets. The SPI Solar commercial & utility solar division provides a full spectrum of EPC services to third party project developers, and develops, owns and operates solar projects that sell electricity to the grid in multiple regions. Phoenix Motor is a leader in medium-duty commercial electric vehicles, and is developing EV charger solutions, electric pickup trucks, electric forklifts, and other EV products. SPI maintains global operations in North America, Australia, Asia and Europe and is also targeting strategic investment opportunities in fast growing green energy industries such as battery storage, charging stations, and other EVs which leverage the company's expertise and substantial solar cash flow. Last week SPI announced its net profit outlook for 2023. "With near-term expectations for an EBITDA positive and net profitable Q1 2023, we are confident we will deliver between $29 million and $36 million net income for fiscal year 2023," said Xiaofeng Peng, Chairman and CEO of SPI Energy. Solar Alliance Energy (OTCMKTS:SAENF) together with its subsidiaries, provides energy solutions. The company primarily focuses on development, engineering, procurement, and construction of commercial and industrial solar projects, and residential solar installations in Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, and North/South Carolina. SAENF also offers electric vehicle charger installation services; and backup generator, home inspection, commercial generator, renewable radar, utility scale power, commercial electric vehicle charging, and data centers solutions. Last week, the company announced they had signed a contract for the design, engineering, and construction of an 872-kilowatt (kW) commercial solar project for a manufacturing company in Tennessee. The project, with a $1.8 million capital cost, is scheduled to begin construction in Q2 2023 with completion targeted by October 2023. “This large project contributes to a strong start to 2023 for Solar Alliance as our backlog of contracted projects to be built this year is now approximately $3.8 million” said CEO Myke Clark. This project is a great example of the type of large revenue project Solar Alliance is now targeting and delivering. SunHydrogen, Inc. (OTC: HYSR) engages in the development and marketing of solar-powered nanoparticle systems that mimics photosynthesis to separate hydrogen from water. Last week, HYSR shared an image of the largest version to date of its nanoparticle-based green hydrogen technology. The prototype in the photo is currently the only self-contained nanoparticle-based hydrogen generation device of its kind that splits water molecules into high-purity green hydrogen and oxygen using the sun's energy. SunHydrogen’s nanoparticle technology directly uses the electrical charges created by sunlight to generate hydrogen when the sun is shining. However, this prototype was also designed to support 24-hour operation even when the sun is not shining by powering the catalyst and membrane integration assembly with renewable grid electricity from wind or hydropower sources. The company’s previous small-scale model from December 2022, was designed to fit a single nanoparticle-based hydrogen generator for testing in a controlled environment. “This larger-scale panel moves us one step closer to producing commercial-scale hydrogen panels.” said SunHydrogens Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Syed Mubeen “Because we are growing our own nanoparticle semiconductor units using low-cost, abundant materials, we are not reliant on expensive solar cell materials and architecture.

Green Lantern Solar Growth Spurred on by 2022 Success

Green Lantern Solar

With an eye on the future, Green Lantern Solar, a leading renewable energy development and finance company focusing on commercial solar and energy storage systems, is parlaying its 2022 accomplishments to catalyze significant growth in 2023. By adding talent and adjusting its project development strategy, Green Lantern Solar is focused on expanding aggressively by project, location and personnel in the new year. “Our successes in 2022 set us up to prosper in 2023 and well into the future as we help the nation transition to clean energy,” said Scott Buckley, president of Green Lantern Solar. “We’re committed to doing this through conscientious and ethical business practices that take into account the well-being of the planet and the communities we serve — just as we always have. Green Lantern Solar will continue to provide clean energy to our customers and partners with significant cost savings and long-term benefits.” The high points of 2022 include: Development Talent Acquired for Future Growth Green Lantern Solar hired three strategic project development professionals to drive growth in states where the company already has a presence — and beyond. These project development experts work with landowners, corporations, non-profits and governmental agencies to identify development and savings opportunities that meet specific environmental, social and corporate governance requirements for the company’s development partners. Projects Benefiting Off-Takers and Landowners The company continued to expand its footprint, particularly in its home state of Vermont, including projects that benefit residents, schools and businesses. Two such projects are the Chroma Technology array and the Weathersfield array. The 500 kilowatt (kW) Chroma Technology array generates enough energy to offset a large portion of the optics company’s electricity expenses each year. The 500 kW net-metered Weathersfield array offests $150,000 in electricity costs for schools and a retirement community in Weathersfield and the Village of Poultney. Green Lantern Solar developed, constructed and financed the projects. The company is as committed to partnering with landowners as it is to serving off-takers. Green Lantern saves its offtakers over a million dollars a year in electricity expenses. The company is seeing an uptick in farmers and owners of brownfields, landfills and other sites leasing their property for array development to add another stream of revenue. In many cases, solar arrays have improved the health of properties. Agrivoltaics, for example, has proven to attract pollinators to crop fields, which rely heavily on pollination by bees. The solar market is forecasted to grow 21 percent annually during the next four years through 2027, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association, and Green Lantern Solar is poised to grow with the expanding market. Growth in 2023 includes: Developing Pipeline with Projects Totaling 350 Megawatts To meet demand in 2023 and beyond, Green Lantern Solar currently has a development pipeline of projects totaling a robust 350 megawatts worth of distribution generation and community solar projects and another 50 megawatts of utility scale projects. “Green Lantern Solar will continue to develop a variety of project types and sizes across multiple geographic regions to ensure a steady stream of shovel ready projects so homes, businesses and schools can rely on clean and affordable energy to offset their fossil fuel consumption,” Green Lantern Vice President of Development Geoff Sparrow said. “The Inflation Reduction Act is accelerating steady growth and we’re seeing project deployment happening quickly. Solar is already competitive economically with fossil fuels, and we have to sustain that growth to provide the United States with clean and reliable energy.” Adding New States to Portfolio Green Lantern Solar plans to expand its footprint beyond Vermont and the Northeast and develop projects in other states across the U.S. With a solid foundation of more than 115 commercial, community and solar + storage projects and more than 65 megawatts completed, Green Lantern Solar will apply its expertise in project origination, development, financing and environmental stewardship to arrays in the new states. To fund further expansion and development, Green Lantern Solar is raising capital in early 2023. Expanding Workforce in New Year The company also plans to add to its workforce at a variety of levels in 2023, with a commitment to recruiting for diversity and inclusion, to keep up with the demand for solar across the country. “It’s how Green Lantern Solar stays competitive,” Buckley said. “The industry employs more than 250,000 people, and that number is increasing due to demand for solar projects and products. Job growth in the renewable energy industry is outpacing the rest of the economy, and Green Lantern Solar is emerging as a leader among solar companies. 2023 will be one of our best years yet.” About Green Lantern Solar Green Lantern Solar is a vertically integrated regional renewable energy development company with a particular emphasis on turn-key commercial solar solutions for municipal, education, healthcare and government entities. Green Lantern works with landowners to revitalize and re-develop low-value sites such as brownfields, landfills, quarries/pits/extraction sites and other challenging real estate.

Multipolar Development Corporation Early Modeling Success Paving Way for New Direct Current Electric Machine Prototype

Multipolar Development Corporation

Multipolar Development Corporation (MDC) an electrical engineering company announced a key design milestone in the development of its novel Multi-Polar Technology™ electric vehicle (EV) propulsion enhancement system. Models are proving that MDC’s patented technology will improve efficiencies in overall performance and range of operation, particularly in large consumer vehicle trucks and commercial transport vehicles. MDC engineers and partners are completing a finite element method (FEM) model for a 10 kW 2 kV prototype direct current (DC) electric machine that demonstrates the ability to operate at higher DC voltages and without the need for a commutator. “Multi-Polar represents one of the single greatest incremental improvements in motor technology I have seen in more than 25 years,” stated engineering expert and MDC team member Arie Hirshbein, “I am thrilled and excited to be part of the development team at this early stage.” “The machine analyzed could be operated like a one-phase brushless machine, providing an advantage in control that could provide flexibility at different operating points of the motor. Without a need for rare earth permanent magnets, Multipolar technology provides a huge advantage in the performance of the motor and avoids supply chain and environmental issues associated with permanent magnets currently utilized,” Hirshbein continued. “Since the failure and maintenance of commutators have made higher power of DC electric machines impractical, the success of our model bodes well for its future in an industrial setting,” stated Multipolar inventor Shaun McCutcheon. “The Multi-Polar design is expected to allow high motor torque performance, including a high starting torque, making it suitable for heavy industrial applications and large electric vehicles (EV’s).” “The modeling is paving the way for us to demonstrate and prove the gains in overall system efficiency that our technology achieves through a physical prototype. We are designing a prototype based on the current computer models and showcasing the significant practical use of the technology,” McCutcheon continued. MDC technology modeling employs an advanced software and firmware-based control system that adjusts the polarity and the magnetic field strength of each electromagnetic pole within an electric motor or generator to achieve the desired operation. The control system relies on sensor data about the position and speed of the rotor to optimize pole parameters in real-time to enhance performance. The FEM model simulates 42 and 78 poles within a rotating machine and provides a numerical solution for the electromagnetic fields and relevant voltages. Recent simulations achieved rectification of generator output exceeding 2000 V DC at speed with no brushes or commutator in the model, resulting in a significant proof of concept for the design. Multi-Polar motors will require fewer external drive components as the speed and torque are managed directly by the advanced control system. Unlike standard DC brushless machines, they will require only two power connections. The wide range of operational speeds at full power – owing to the ability to change the number of poles virtually – will allow MDC’s machines to be repurposed through software and firmware changes rather than being replaced or redesigned. The advanced control system will also be able to compensate for efficiency losses due to mechanical imperfections or damage. “Multipolar moves us into a truly digital machine age – an advanced machine without many of the inherent inefficiencies and limitations of classic electromagnetic energy conversion,” McCutcheon explained. “The modeling proves our technology has the potential to shock the EV industry and advance it to a new level of efficiency and performance.” Multipolar Development Corporation is an Austin, TX-based S-Corp comprised of energy, electric, and automotive engineering experts. ### Please visit: https://www.multipolarmachine.com/ For more information or to schedule an interview with Shaun McCutcheon, please contact Dan Rene of kglobal, at daniel.rene@kglobal.com or 202-329-8357 Contact Details kglobal Dan Rene +1 202-329-8357 daniel.rene@kglobal.com Company Website https://www.multipolarmachine.com/

Solar Installation at FedEx Facility in D.C. Benefits Local Nonprofit

FedEx Corporation

Located in Northeast Washington, D.C., the FedEx Express Eckington Place facility’s 915 kW rooftop community solar installation is one of the largest in the nation’s capital, with the capacity to generate electricity for the equivalent of 150 homes. FedEx, along with D.C.-based solar developer Sol Systems and local nonprofit SOME (So Others Might Eat) have announced a special charitable arrangement that spreads the benefits of this community solar project even further into the District. Watch this video to learn more about the FedEx community solar project at the FedEx Express Eckington station. FedEx is allocating a portion of the electricity bill credits generated by the solar installation to local nonprofit SOME (So Others Might Eat), which provides services to individuals experiencing poverty and homelessness in the District. “Giving back to an organization like SOME through this installation elevates the spirit of community solar,” said Gina Adams, Corporate Vice President for Government and Regulatory Affairs at FedEx and a lifelong Washingtonian. “As a part of the Ward 5 community, we saw an opportunity for FedEx to create an innovative giveback program that benefits the environment and advances the well-being of our D.C. neighbors at the same time. We hope what we’ve done with SOME may inspire others to think of creative sustainability solutions in their communities.” “Having served Ward 5 for more than 50 years, SOME is thrilled to be partnering with FedEx, our esteemed neighbor, for this cutting-edge partnership that will result in significant cost savings for SOME. This budget-alleviating initiative will enable SOME to redirect the savings in support of our direct services to those experiencing homelessness and poverty in our nation’s capital,” said Ralph Boyd, SOME’s CEO and President. “We hope their inspired approach will herald a new wave of corporate-nonprofit engagement in the D.C. region.” The donated bill credits, in conjunction with a supplemental cash donation from FedEx, are intended to offset the approximate annual electricity costs at two SOME facilities located in Ward 5: Isaiah House, a day program for those impacted by homelessness as well as mental illness, and Weinberg House, an affordable housing building for 28 families. “What FedEx is doing here exemplifies the very nature of community solar projects, which is exactly what Mayor Bowser and the Department of Energy and Environment encourage through programs like Solar for All,” said Tommy Wells, Director of the District of Columbia’s Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE), “and we hope that more businesses will follow suit: this is an excellent way to support the community in which you do business.” The installation of the solar project at this FedEx Express facility was completed in late 2021 by Sol Systems. Additionally, Sol Systems plans to match FedEx’s first-year contribution and volunteer with SOME over the lifetime of the project. “Sol has been a proud and committed member of the community since we were founded in 2008,” said Yuri Horwitz, Chief Executive Officer of Sol Systems. “We are excited to deliver solar energy and drive tangible economic benefits to our local community with FedEx and SOME. We hope this initiative motivates others to follow FedEx’s leadership here.” Community solar projects generate energy from solar panels that then feed into the District’s electricity grid to offset electricity usage for a number of customers, rather than just onsite consumption. In exchange for installing the solar panels on its roof, the FedEx Express facility receives bill credits toward its own electricity bill and can apply a portion of those credits to another electricity user in the District. In March 2021, FedEx announced a goal of achieving carbon neutral operations by 2040 and has committed an initial investment of $2 billion in support of this goal in the key areas of fleet electrification, sustainable energy, and carbon sequestration. Increased use of renewable energy sources in the electricity grid will help FedEx and other consumers of energy reduce what are known as “Scope 2” greenhouse gas emissions generated from purchased energy.
