Perhaps most importantly in today's political environment, a source of renewable energy that does not rely on supply chains dominated by adversarial nations as the source of its feedstock, but America's family farms instead. That is the line of business in which Vanguard Renewables and its new CEO, Joel Gay, are engaged. It is a business focused on converting manure and food waste into renewable natural gas (RNG). What remains following the production of RNG is then turned into organic fertilizer, returning the nutrients from the manure and food waste produced back to the soil to be recycled again and diverting tons of waste that would have otherwise gone into landfills or incinerators. RNG is the first carbon-negative energy source since it is produced from organic matter that would otherwise be released as a powerful greenhouse gas. As a result, Vanguard is helping companies like Starbucks and Unilever meet their "net-zero by 2050" pledges that have become a fad among major energy and consumer goods companies. The positive news
