Now, today, you and I, we're going to go check on the circumstance of these markets. We're going to go figure out what the bulls and the bears, what those buyers and sellers are communicating to you and I just passed one o'clock in the afternoon.

Inside the subject heading, please put radio show question. Of course, in our Tigers Den, any ping will do. So let's go ahead and get this show started on magical, magnificent Monday. Of course, this is Tiger, Financial News Network. I'm Steve Rhodes. Welcome to LUS Show. Right now, we've got the Dow off 30 points, trading out at 26-542. S&Ps off three at 29-48. NASDAQ 100 off two points. Russell is up two points, trading out at 1502. The transports are also up 15 points. It's really a flat market, but 10-044. The other indices, the New York Stock Exchange, Wilshire. Semi's are off just slightly out there. SpotBallatillDix is trading above its 50-day exponential moving average. Print is 1728. You've got gold off $7.70. Silver down seven pennies. Lights we crewed up 52 cents. Natural gas down about two cents. Lead that charge to the upside. Ring central. It is ringing the bell at $10.50.

Little over one percent. Mercado Libre off 11. Nearly two percent. Chipotle down 10 bucks. A little over one percent. Alt-the-Beauty down about three percent or seven bucks in change. Of course, I want to look at what you want to look at. at no request thus far. So let's go take a look at the general indices, get a feel for what's going on here. So if we take a look at the, what do we start with? Let's start with the ESMN. Let's take a look at a 30-minute timeframe chart. What is it communicating to you and I? Well, it's communicating that it wants to pull back. Pull back to where? Chances are it wants to pull back to the bottom of its 30-minute profile. That's 29.36. Now, I know you might say, how can you say that's D? That's another 10 points to the downside. Well, the reason is because the way that markets make tops and bottoms, not all tops and bottoms, but one that when you see this pattern presence, rose momentum indicator pattern out there. I had a top or a bottom. You pay attention. Well, if we take a look at what took place at 12 noon, we had price moving higher, doing less relative energy. Then as we came into the 12.30 timeframe, we had that bearish and golfing bearish sash candle form. Now we've got price trading. There was a new profile that formed just as we came on the air. I had one o'clock bearish in structure. Price is trading below its oscillator and change line, Stevie's green line, as well as the center of its box at 29.48. That makes the call relatively easy. The sellers should have enough pressure to go move price down to support. Again, that level is 29.36 on a 30-minute timeframe. That's the ES mini. Let's go take a look. Does that mean that the high is in? It's possible, but does not mean that just yet price needs to break other key levels of support. If we take a look at a 60 minute timeframe, really doing the same thing out here. It formed its bottom on the one hour timeframe with the rose momentum indicator bottom, that nice hammer candle. And now we've got a topping signal on the same 60 minute timeframe that rose momentum indicator top here says a price should move down to 29.35 to 29.38. Doesn't say that support doesn't say that price will stop there. Should. It's a bullish structured profile unlike the 30-minute box that we looked at. But if we were to see price close below 29.35, what we'd be looking at is 28.96 to the downside out here. That is where price most recently broke out. We've got a caller on the line. Let's go out to Brent in Martinez, California. Brent, thanks for calling. Thanks for holding. How are you today? I'm doing just fine, Steve. How about you? Doing well. Also, do you have a nice weekend? I did. That's kind of the one time I get to spend time with my wife. She's a teacher, so she's pretty busy during the week, and she's inquire, and she has other things that she's doing. So it's just that's kind of our time we get to spend together. So I do enjoy that. And yeah, it was great. How was yours? It was nice. A couple of good rounds of golf. I wish I could put two nines together. That would be nice, but I'll just take whatever it is that the golf gods want to give me. But yeah, always, you know, the weekends are great. And what's really nice about it for me is I typically will just turn the machines off, so to speak. And this time of year is my favorite, Brent, because I love college football. I love sports altogether. So it's just ideal with the pennant going on for baseball. You got college football. You've got the NFL football. You got hockey going on. For me, it's just like it is. It's a wonderful thing. But I know we didn't even call to talk about sports, but I do love Saturdays and Sundays out there. So what can I help you with? I was just calling to comment about I saw that latest update you sent out around 10 o'clock. Yes. And I just I like the direction you're going. Absolutely. I think it's going to be a big benefit. And I definitely appreciate you. Putting an extra time and effort to make that happen. I guess the one thing I would ask you, do you have a are you going to kind of focus on the normal stuff that you look at as far as the like the yes, many and the Dow and those and then like gold and oil or is it going to be an overall kind of no. So yeah, yeah. So so nothing will change with regard to the newsletter, per se, what I try to get out in the afternoon after the market closes as well as what goes on in the morning. So all that will remain the same. So one of the things that I'm asking for subscribers like yourself are, hey, here's a direction I'm going into assist us with identifying more trades. Folks, I would I would post I would post on the screen if I could right now what Brent is is talking about. But but that was actually coming off of my laptop where I'm doing some development at this stage. But it's a we look at during the show here during the day, we look at we look at certain patterns that identify tops and bottoms. And to me, that's what it's all about in trying to find those new trades out there. And so those new tools are really intended just to do that. And then it comes down to the information, you know, do you as a subscriber want to see any of that in the newsletter is an additional item, or do you just want me to do all the scanning myself when I see those tops and bottoms just make you aware of those trades. So that was but the intent was also just so no changes to the normal stuff of being able to understand the message of the markets. But also to say, hey, there's a lot of other trades out there that we could be taking. I just need some extra hands on deck, and that's going to be the automated scanner tools out there. Hey, can you hold on through the screen? Thank you very much. Thank you again. Thanks for all your efforts and and you have a great week. Perfect. You too. Thanks Brent for calling.

So one of the tools that Brent was referring to see if you can this is the only way for me to pull it up right now which is to go back to the newsletter that was sent out. So one of the things that you and I do here each day is we take a look at different instruments for example Ruby wants to go take a look at cattle and hogs and so we're going to do that in a moment or we just take a look at the markets. We take a look at for example we were looking at the intraday charts for the ESMini and what we were looking for are there any topping or bottoming signals that are present out there and so we took a look at the roads momentum indicator pattern. It helped us to identify what appears to be a short term top and where price where sellers should be able to price push price down to. We also take a look at those TD set up nine count patterns out here and so I've been redeveloping all of my tools to work on a different version or newer version of the white background and charts those are the Ninja Trader charts out there. Unfortunately all the tools that I had developed in their older platform that don't pour it over to the newer platform and I finally have decided to bite the bullet spend the money time energy there's there's also some other benefits and we'll see if I can maximize those benefits out here but one of them is simply to be able to scan how many ever charts instruments really not charts but instruments to pick up on those topping or bottoming signals or I can just simply take a list of instruments for example here is a majority not each of the components inside the GDX right now and so this way in one swoop I can take a look at each of those instruments understand what their daily TD set up count is their daily their weekly their monthly as well as where support and resistance are. I'm not going to take every single trade out there but many of you are looking for additional trades out there and when you like to buy something that has a bottoming pattern and this is one of those bottoming patterns the Rosamund indicator tools are already present in the daily and the evening edition of the newsletter so that subscribers can track their own investments make their own new investments based upon those topping and bottoming signals out there and and then I've also so that would be taking a look at as an example for the my market analyzer for the TD setup pattern out here and this is just taking a look at the GDX here's another example of and this is really where maybe the the rubber meets the road and looking for those new trades here is a scan of the Dow 30 stocks in the NDX 100 stocks just to begin with and here what I'm looking for just the daily counts at this day just the daily counts that are showing either a topping or a bottoming signal that would be counts eight or nine remember we always look for bars eight or nine inside that pattern or the bar following nine to assist us with whether or not it's based upon the pattern rules whether it's a valid top or it's a valid bottom out there and this way here I've scanned 130 stocks it took me literally seconds once I had everything built to then be able to sift out only look at those that have our in bar eight or nine out here making it a whole lot easier then also I've got the weekly or the monthly counts out here so we can understand where they are at as well as where the support and resistances and you can see where the last price was at when this was was put forth and so what's nice about this is here you've got four different stocks we have four different stocks to go take a look at so as an example here is the here is oh that's interesting to tell here here's here's the one it's FOX A Fox I believe so that showed up and here you can see a nice valid count a nice valid TD setup count bar number eight made the low and I realized that the print is a little bit small on this and eventually I have I've got a new computer a supercomputer for the most part that is being built and on its way that should allow me to run everything as you know sometimes we've my system has gotten clogged up so to speak even though I keep it nice and fresh and clean but it's gotten clogged up but I won't be gotten some kind of tweet that just simply sends the markets into generation or some type of report that takes place out there it doesn't have to be a tweet necessarily and and so if I'm running all this stuff on on my computer system I just need something of more power to be able to do all those scans as well as pick up what's going on here but here we know for ticker symbol FOX A if you were going to ask me about this we'd say a valid bottom and price going to move up to 3245 and that makes it very easy for you to consider taking a trade on this I'm not telling you to take a trade I'm just saying if you're a person that wants to be able to buy tops or sell tops and buy bottoms well this is one of those tools and then the newsletter is one of those places where you can get that information here if we take a look at this symbol this is monster energy MNST it's got what looks like it may be a valid TD set up nine count but we wouldn't take that trade not based upon that pattern because it doesn't follow our criteria out there and this is an additional thing that I'm going to enhance that scan with so that I don't even have to take a look at this MNST just simply because it doesn't meet my criteria here is a Starbucks so if you're this is a really a great setup with regard to Starbucks out here because this has got the TD set up nine count the nine count occurs before support that'd be that red horizontal line of 8332 if you're if you're an individual who's been trying to add Starbucks to your portfolio well then what I can tell you is now's the time you've got a valid count you know use proper position sizing your target is going to be resistance which is 91 77 I've just made this clean out here we also use you and I use our TAS market profiles for support and resistance and I can add that but this is this is just simply with regard to this pattern where price should be able to push itself having a valid count and this is really nice looking in trade there on Starbucks the fourth one that showed up there you've got CVX and the case of CVX it definitely made a TD set up nine count bottom does it on bar number eight what I don't know now is old support which was 114.55 never held the support because the only time it tested price cut right through that but still is an old support lover what should have been a support levels at now resistance that's 114.55 I don't know the answer to that no more than anybody else does but a close above 114.55 we'd say not it doesn't matter valid count out here price should target it's breakdown level and that'd be up at the 12472 so this actually looks like also another nice setup to the long side lastly it's not the last tool but I'm also automated we also look for wave number G the market sings in the key of G when those patterns are present we pay attention to we go look for it but how are you going to be able to scan all Dow 30 all NDX 100 all S and P 500 all of the Russell 2000 if you'd like as well as all the miscellaneous other stocks let alone the futures contracts which we take a look at 30 60 120 300 minute charts out there and be able to do all that stuff just to narrow it down to which ones are in a proper TD setup accounts to look at roads women to indicator tops or wave number seven so I've been automating that tool this is just an example of that process and so in any event that is what Brent was referring to always looking to be able to enhance the level of experience if you are a subscriber to mastering probability now let's go get back to the show out here not that that wasn't a part of it but let's go take a look at live hogs for Ruby so Ruby I've got is the November contract is that it for for lean hogs out here I think that it is but if it isn't let me know we can change that but here if we take a look at the November contract for the only reason why I say maybe it's not as I don't see much in the way of volume down there but if we do take a look at the November contracts December okay thank you so let's go change that here real quickly let's do this that way we give Ruby the the information she's looking for and the first thing we're going to take a look at is where is price trading in relationship to its TAS market profiles and right now if you're long hogs what you don't like seeing is today's action because a key level of support has been broken through in that 6631 we'll be right back we'll finish up lean hogs go take a look at the cattle and anything else that you'd like Steve Rhodes at tfnn.

taking a look at lean hogs the December contract for lean hogs and we had initially just focused on the daily time frame that's the right hand panel chart out here and so we said to Ruby was hey not a good thing for support to be broken i don't have the December contract and my other tools out here to pull it up to see if there's anything else of significance ruby that we should look at but as we look at multiple time frames a 30 minute which is the left hand panel than the two hour uh 120 minute than the five hour time frame we see that all of the bars are currently read such as the daily telling us the price is below all levels of profiles out there that we're looking at the four levels right now and so therefore this is uh not suggestive of any kind of a bottom but instead the price wants to continue to move lower so that's what I see when I take a look at the December lean hog futures contract as far as live cattle it looks to me like this is also December maybe confirm that for me out here and as we take a look at live cattle this is a much more bullish looking chart much more bullish because well price is up at the top of its daily profile and that top is one 1075 now price is sitting just slightly above it and I do mean just slightly above it but nonetheless above is above and if price can close above the top of that profile says it should move to higher ground now higher ground to wear at this stage the only tool that I would have to give you a price projection would be an A to B equal CD pattern and it would look something like this it's a it's not a very large retracement I like to typically see around a point three eight to a retracement this is 23.6 which actually is a Fibonacci number but but in any event out here this looks like you've got an A to B equal CD that is going on out here and that price wants to move to higher ground no bearish reversal candles or anything like that so that's what I see when I take a look at the December live cattle futures contract so I hope that that helps you out there we take a look at let's see let me just see if there's any other request any other questions out here and so just some more comments from some subscribers about the new tools out there so and I appreciate all the comments that's why I sent that list out to subscribers I'd really like to get their their feedback their comments because I don't want to include stuff in a newsletter that's not going to assist anybody that doesn't make any sense out there in any event so let's go take a look at Tucker wants to take a look at an update on natural gas if we have the time of course we have the time if you ask we've got the time then this show is yours and just so you know this hour I mean unless there's something just crazy going on inside the marketplace that we have to go spend time on it you know this this is your show this is this is this is all for you so you know the way you benefit me is by giving me all these different instruments to go take a look at simply because that's how that's how we we we you and I the team this is how we see these patterns work and be able to generate some confidence in them so let's see we're going from what was there what was your guess oh natural gas I'll eventually get there so let's go take a look at the natural gas contract out here and as we take a look at the November natural gas contract let's begin by taking a look at the daily chart as soon as a populate so here's what we know we know that a couple of days ago specifically on October 3rd there was a brand new bullish structured profile that formed out here and so support is at $2.24 and resistance at $2.57 now price is sitting right at the center of its box that's the price that's a price point where both buyers and sellers believe there's fair value now it's bullish in structure so what that means is that if buyers can overcome sellers and right now we don't have that Tucker as a it was a Tucker yeah that asked about it because price is sitting right there but if it looked like on Friday's close based upon Friday's close which was slightly above that center line that that was signaling to you and I that price should still be able to push buyers should be able to push price up to the top of the profile $2.57 price sitting right at it right now so we don't really change that view but it's been more neutralized so to speak so that's really my my update is you know price is sitting right there with buyers and sellers believe there's fair fair fair value if you're long you know you've got $2.24 as your level of support you need to see a close below that to change that view point out here and other than that I really don't have a lot Tuck if we take a look at the 30-minute timeframe out here you're just going to see a consolidation a consolidation between support and resistance the resistance has held really well that's a two dollars and thirty three cents out here or two thirty five either one and support is two dollars and thirty one cents which was breached but we never saw a second closing below that area not until a couple of hours ago the exact time we saw a closing below that was at eleven but then price failed when I say failed failed to push lower and so we're just inside this little range out here Tuck so I don't know which way this is going to go do you or anybody um at this stage here it's sitting on fair value and I don't have any more in any more information that sounds like really horrible grammar out there I'll just have to apologize for it but it is what it is so so anyway so there we go for natural gas hope that helps you out um what do we got here somebody I don't know I'm sure what's the what's the the discussion the tiger's in about the news okay the market may be moving higher okay so let's go back to the market and so okay in the market moving higher we took a look at a 30 minute chart 30 minute chart said okay we've got a valid topping signal now we're pushing higher again as we push higher again we're still doing it with less relative energy out here so it's just a word of caution at this stage and so that had that viewpoint hasn't changed now if we see a close above a close above in this 30 minutes so that's 2 p.m. I'll be off the air by then but a close above 2955 we're 2956 right now a close above 2955 would say okay the first level of resistance has failed that was that bearish engulfing candle but it doesn't mean that another short-term top can't form because because price is still moving higher with less relative energy out there so I'm not going to get too caught up into whatever the reaction in the market was I'm not saying that the market is bearish so I just want to make but we were looking the short-term time frame charts to say okay caution because when I say if I look at a longer term time frame now longer I mean I'm going to go from I'm going to multiply times 10 I'm going to go from 30 to 300 and so if we take a look at the five hour time frame chart out here this did have a TD set up nine count pattern that was at Friday's close out here and but what now what we can see is price has taken out that high so the bigger picture right you've got hey what's going on the short term kind of a lot of noise on a short-term chart now we we spread it out a bit to a larger term time frame and what this is communicating to you and I is that the ES mini wants to travel up to 2994 that is its resistance level because we've got a topping pattern here in the larger scale that has failed to generate any significant selling to the downside price is now taking out that pattern high and so price should move up to the next resistance area it's above the profile for the five hour time frame now this bar here that we're in doesn't close till 2pm and so it's important to see what the close on this bar is in 22 minutes 21 and a half minutes out there but at this stage it looks like 2994 on the larger picture for the ES mini and folks inside the NQ she appears or he appears to be headed for 7841 here at 7791 right now that's the five hour message we'll be right back if you're in the cd market and

at the sun core energy ink the ticker symbol there is s u and jim says i'm not a short term trader more of a long term hold so the first thing that you and i like to do is just understand where's price trading in relationship to support and resistance for support and resistance you and i we primarily during this hour we primarily use our taz market profile so that's one area to identify support and resistance and the other would be the td setup a breakdown and break out levels out there and the numbers are going to be different but we want to understand where support is we want to understand the range of support or the range of resistance so we take a look at this chart here we know prices trading at the point of control on the daily time frame it's a very structured box out there so if price can close above 30 oh nine not 30 10 you know i don't know 31 or not 31 i don't know 30 and 20 cents then price ought to be able to make its way up to 30 93 a brand weekly profile has formed out here jim price is trading right now into the top of that profile so 30 10 is the number so on a weekly close above 30 10 that would be bullish and prices trading in between the monthly profile now jim mentioned that he's not a short-term trader and so it's really noise for you and i to take a look at the daily time frame we will but i would prefer to start at the longer term time frame so we know what as we take a look at this chart we take a look at profile levels out here we know prices trading in between them we can see in the case of sun core we can we can see both higher higher lows recently when i say recently well really higher lows coming back to November of 2008 but we can also see lower highs coming back into March of 2011 so we got the cone of silence that is in play here if we take a look at the monthly time frame chart this is Stevie's other tools out here the oscillator and change line that red green line by now if you're a long-term listener you know when that line changes colors on the monthly basis it did this back in July August of this year you know that we should eventually see a test of that line and price and it's the test that test that tells us what the intent of the market is that's really what we want to understand what is the market's intent what is the message of the markets and what we saw take place in the month of September was a test and rejection of that level so on a longer term basis Jim there's no other bottoming pattern or signals that I have out here the message here from a longer term standpoint is still bearish that was the test that took place in the month of September now maybe that's too long-term for you I don't know if that's the case or not if I look at the weekly timeframe chart I don't really have a great signal out here one way or the other so there's nothing here to provide you and I with more information other than we know where price is traveling with regard to it's a weekly box which is a brand new box that just formed the daily timeframe which may be noise to Jim may not be noise to you what this did was this generated a TD set up nine count bottom it did this on October 4th the low was the bar following bar nine that qualifies for what I like to say is a valid bottoming signal out here it did it with a hammer candle it is nice to form a top or bottom with a bullish or bearish reversal candle for the TD nine count it's not a requirement it's not a requirement period end of story but when it does happen it at least communicates to you that not only was or is this symbol SU forming a a valid bottoming pattern it did it with a bullish hammer candle out there and so the nice thing about this is you know if you were in a trade took a trade on this that your stop would be a close below the bottom of that hammer candle which is the price point of 2954 now when I say your stop would be below that you would you because the close below the low of a hammer candle says if you're long you're wrong just our funds little expression out there in this case here this would tell us that price would likely pull back to its breakout area of 2814 now the bullish side of this Jim is that you have a valid TD set up nine count that occurred well above support support here being that breakout support level so you should see this instrument make its way up to Stevie's Green Line which is 3093 right now into that range and at 3093 just so happens to be the top of the daily profile out there so there should at least be a countertrend rally up to that area what it does to that area I don't know but that's what I would be looking for in the case of Suncore you say you're a longer term trader I think you've just got to be patient based upon what we looked at for the monthly timeframe hope that that helps you out with your decision making okay no other requests in just yet other than inside the Tiger's Den which is just a as valid a request and that was from who was it Peter somebody wanted to take a look at just trying to find out where what's the request for was it for gold well do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do boy oh boy oh boy okay well yeah the gold contract okay thanks thanks for helping me out I guess I could have just figured it out on my own if we take a look at the gold contract one of the things Peter likes to look at smart guy for wanting to look at it is you know what's what's gold doing in all the major currencies out there so if we take a look at that we're going to see gold priced in dollars gold priced in euros gold priced in yen and gold priced in pounds each moving lower on the day so what this tells us that we've got some sellers out here gold by the way has support at the bottom of its profile that's 1472 now that's using my synthetic version of the contract I'd have to look at December see if that's also got 1472 but right now Peter that's what you and I are going to go without here so it's moving lower in all currencies which suggests that it's going to continue moving lower to support support 1472 if we go take a look at Stevie's other chart white background chart out here this tells us that yet get 1472 of support we see that Stevie's oscillator and change line Stevie's green line has held as resistance been tested three days in a row out here so this too says to anticipate lower price so I'd be moving down to that 1472 now one of my other tools that you occasionally see subscribers see it because each morning we try to understand what's the message of the markets what just happened overnight are there bottoming signals topping signals what's going on for various instruments we take a look at that for example let's say this 30 minute timeframe now here are the roads momentum indicators signals different than the TD setup nine counts or the wave counts out here but here if we take a look at gold what I'd be looking for in the case of gold is is there any kind of bottoming signal well lo and behold on a 30 minute timeframe just so we can understand the noise it says bottom signal and what I know because it's green it says that this should have occurred here during the last last hour last half hour or so so let's go see if we can let's pull up the 30 minute chart for goldilocks let's go see what it says where do we have that well here's a eh let's do it here let's come over here let's just change this to the gold contract for its 30 minute timeframe and while a lot what we can see is price is pushing lower doing less relative energy and it's doing it on that bar and that's a beautiful thing that does not mean buy when I restate that again that does not mean buy okay I've said that price is just pushing lower doing less relative energy not until the cavalry arrives with this pattern here would you consider taking the trade unless you've got some advanced information are you really at a level of support which we just took a look at in the daily timeframe we didn't see a level of support there nor do I see any kind of TD setup support well 1490 would be a level out here but at this stage you'd be observing the way that gold trades for the next many hours out here to look for some type of bullish reversal signal for a counter trend Steve Rhodes with TFNN be right back since 1984 Basel Chapman has been using the Chapman wave methodology to advise

green so what are we going to be watching today to give you an indication as we come into the close what the markets are communicating to you if we go back to those roads momentum indicator signals out here one of the key target areas that the equity futures contracts are shooting for are it's steve's green line level out here that's that daily OUL oscillator and change line so what we can see here because there's a number present on the NQ in the support column 77 57 tells us that prices above support now you can just take a look at the last price to see that but so the NQ has already gotten above a level of resistance the ES the Dow and the have not let me just see here I think things are out of whack let me try to I don't know how they got out of whack they did get out of whack see if I can put them back into whack out here and where is the Russell 2000 there we go so just take a look at the top four so here what we can see the resistance level so where the ES mini is gunning for is 29 60 the Dow 26 679 the Russell 2015 18 and he closes above those levels will tell you that the odds of this only being a counter trend move just got diminished just got diminished that's if that occurs out there so what we have is right now we've got one of the equity futures contracts that gave us that signal on Friday here if we take a look at it because it was just a slight close above that level we can see that price is still above that area right now counter trend rallies would stop at resistance hasn't done that now remember we also use those TAS market profiles as resistance right so if we take a look at where's the TAS market profile for resistance for the NQ it's 78 44 so if you're asking me if prices move higher where's the NQ gunning for it's 78 44 now that spot VIX index right now still trading above its 50 day exponential moving average it's currently priced at 1660 that's the 50 day the spot is trading at 1686 if you see a close below 1660 folks it's really suggesting you don't be short or certainly tighten your stops hey thanks so much for being here stay tuned another great hour two hours coming up next David White and Tom O'Brien and I look forward oh I won't be here tomorrow my apology but I will not be here tomorrow hey have a great Monday folks

Hi there, it's DJ B and in this video I'm going to be answering a very popular question and that is, where do I buy briar model horses? So I live in Canada, which means briars are really hard to come by, but if you live in the United States, they're pretty easy, they're pretty common. If you're an international person living in the UK, Australia, or New Zealand or any of those overseas countries, it's a lot harder and I don't totally have answers for you guys. So I'm going to do my best to explain where you can buy briars within North America. So the easiest, most basic place to go about buying briars is definitely just on the briar website. So Briar Horses has its own website in which all of their current products are available. So if you go into traditional series here on the website and you scroll down, they have all of their recent releases as well as all the models that are not discontinued. So you can buy them here at any time. They often have shipping deals and sales happening. So there's free domestic shipping within the US over $50. Now I do find the briar website a little bit pricey. I mean $46.99 for a traditional model is pretty expensive. Briars models have gone up in value over the years. There was a time when I started collecting that they were only around $30, $35. And so that's buying your briar brand new in a briar box. This is what they generally look like when you purchase them. They come in a yellow box like this. Now there's also a lot of distributors that have their own online store. If you just look up Briar Dealer online, there's actually a lot of independent dealers that carry them either through their storefront, attack store, or an online website. So you can order a lot of these briars online actually through the website. So like this for example, Triple Mountain Model Horses is a Briar Dealer. This is a website. So if it's a website, generally you're going to be safe. It's going to be legit. A place like Castle Toys here. This is actually based in Canada and they have a large selection of briars. So these are going to be priced in Canadian because it is a Canadian dealership. So they're a little more expensive in Canada just because of the price exchange. So here we're ranging from the $50.60 to up to $70 range usually for a brand new briar. From the American kind of websites, they're a little bit cheaper. You can look around and compare different dealers to find the best price. Green Hawk is a really good one for Canada as well. There's free shipping on orders over $50, which is good for those Canadian peoples because I know it's hard for Canadians to find briars. Apple Saddlery is my favorite for Canadian distributors. Shipping is a flat rate of $10 and their prices I find are pretty decent. I got a whole bunch of these guys back on Boxing Day when they had a big Boxing Day sale. Horsing around here. So there's a whole bunch of different websites that you can look into just by searching Briar Dealer and pick the best one for you. I don't believe that any of these dealers are scammers. You're still going to get your product because it isn't an official website. They're paying to run this website, which means they are going to be legitimate. Now you might be concerned as to why I'm saying so frequently you're not going to get scammed. This is legit. So within the model horse community, a lot of people aren't looking for the briars brand new off the shelf. They're looking for the older ones. They don't have the ones that they want to collect the specific model from the specific year. A very good resource for this kind of thing is IdentifierBriar.com. I'm going to traditional and say you like the American Saddle Bread Stallion.  And so people are looking for that. They're looking to collect like this JCPenney American Saddle Bread. They want this one in specifics or they're looking for a Chabasco and they want this one in specifics. And so you can't buy these on the Briar website because it's already retired. So where would you find models to customize, models that are rare, models that are for your collection? So for vintage stuff, you definitely can go to your local antique stores or garage sales and you will find some things there depending where you live. And some local tax stores often carry them. So ranch supply stores. I know Tractor Supply Company in America definitely carries briars. They do limited runs with Tractor Supply Co as well. Greenhawk is a big one in Canada. So like different tax stores and hobby stores definitely carry briars. So you just have to kind of know your community and where they are being carried. There's a couple places online to purchase briars in a different manner. Now I'm going to make a huge disclaimer before I say this. There are scam artists in the model horse community. Unfortunately, people do take advantage of other people. They steal their money and they don't deliver the horses. This is an online transaction and not through an actual website. So you do have the implication of being scammed. That being said, I've been buying horses for 15 plus years. I have not been scammed once. Now the best thing that you can do in this circumstance is check the model horse transaction board. And I will show you that a little bit later in this video. The best website that I've found for buying models and most of my collection has come off of a website called Model Horse Sales Pages. This is what it looks like when you launch. You can post on here or you can just surf it and purchase models yourself. So over here are like the most recent posts that have occurred. So we have a couple horses here. So this is like a search bar that you can search for specifics. But if you just leave this blank and hit go, it's going to give you all of the ads. So you can see there is 141 pages of model horses listed on this website. There's a lot of things happening here. And it's everything from tack to Peterstone horses to China's to resins to model horse supplies, model horse references, micro minis, blank resins, original finished briars, like everything is on here. It's one of the most popular sites to find things. So there's going to be a lot of things if you're looking for that really specific horse. So say I was looking for a Nikoda horse. So if you type in Nikoda and hit go, it's going to come up with all of the ads that say Nikoda in them. So we have a moon warrior here. There's a Sundance and a phantom. These two are on holds. They're not available. Some of these ads have extra things in them. So when you click on the ad, this person is selling a whole bunch of different horses for various prices. So we're going to go into this micro mini hue that was for sale this week. So you can click on the picture to expand the picture. It's saying that this is on hold, so it's not available. This is who's selling it, which is me. And the type is just the abbreviation for what it is. So you would click on this link here. Brings you into the ad. It's going to show you when it was listed, what's happening, who it was sculpted by, what is it labeled as and the price shipping different things. And it's going to give you information on the seller. So the name when they joined their email, where they're from, if they accept international shipping, trades, time payments, different things. Contact vendors, save to a friend. And then you're going to scroll down and the main, the rest of the ad is going to appear to you. There's going to be some more information at the bottom. Say I wanted to buy this horse. Don't ever click this contact vendor button. This gives you a little pop up that you can send emails to, but it does not work for most people. So your best bet if you're wanting to buy this horse is just to copy the email and paste it into your own email to send them a message privately. So then it's it's an interaction between you and the seller and you're going to either transfer PayPal, not really through your credit card. So that's how a lot of people buy models. That's this is the number one website for that just because it's so rich and there's so many ads happening all the time. Now, another one that's recently come out, I've actually listed on for the first time. So my Otheo is here. And if I click view auction, it's going to take me here. And this is called model horse place. And this is just another version of model or sales pages. But more high tech and modern.  A lot of the popular artists are starting to list their customs here. Some of us come up on here, but there's definitely not as much as some of the other websites. Now, another really popular one is eBay.  I do shop on eBay sometimes. So the biggest thing when you're shopping here is make sure that the seller has 100 percent positive or a high percentage positive feedback. If they have a really low one, like less than 50 percent or even 70 percent, I'd say you want to stick to high 90s and 100 because that means that they've scammed people before or they're not representing the items they are selling appropriately. Now, with eBay, I have noticed to a lot of these people aren't collectors, so they don't know how to ship their horses. So if you're buying from just a random person with like a random model that they pulled out of their garage, there may not package it appropriately. So you may get it kind of smushed and weird. And all the packages I've ordered from eBay have been like that, unfortunately. You can find briars as well on places like Kajiji or Craigslist or different online sales websites. Amazon actually also is another one that does actually carry quite a few briars as well. You have to be careful with Amazon, though, because some of the prices are like a little wacky sometimes. If you get like one that's a little older, they'll like hike the price to like $100. If it's on Amazon, it's not worth $100. Some of them on model horse sales pages are just because they're rare. Another big one, though, definitely is Instagram. And Instagram is just a big one. If you search the hashtag briars for sale, people are constantly selling on Instagram for different prices, messaging these people. So you would contact these people by messaging them or receiving their email to do a transaction is how Instagram would work. And Facebook has a very large portion of this as well. So if you just look at briars for sale, there's a ton of groups. So if you click on the groups, there's like quite a few happening here. This one is really popular. So if you go into this group, people are often selling all kinds of things. Whole collections, rare models, different things. You can buy a ton of different horses online in this setting. Now, my biggest piece of advice is just that you're going to want to join the model horse transaction board. So this is for if you're using any of these off site websites such as Facebook, Instagram, model horse sales pages, model horse place. You want to go into this group. And this is called model horse transaction board, and it has 5,900 members. And this is majority of the model horse community just saying. And you want to search this group for the name. So if I search my name, it's going to come up with people that say, hey, she was great. Greens to DJB for this small herd. So she ordered some horses for me. She was happy. She said green light. So green light basically means good transaction. Red light means don't deal with this person.  And if anybody gives you a weird gut reaction, don't buy from them. If they sound like a kid, don't buy from them. But for the most part, you're pretty safe. There's a couple of really frequent names within the hobby that do come up. But if you just do a quick search on this transaction board, you'll find out right away. If the person isn't on the transaction board, that is your gamble. You're doing an online sale. If you feel like the person is going to be legit and follow through, then go for it. But if you don't definitely avoid the transaction and if you don't feel comfortable. Another thing that you definitely want to invest if you are going to be buying on these websites is PayPal. PayPal is like the best online money exchange process. I use it to sell. I take all of my payments through PayPal and I use PayPal to buy things. And it's just the easiest thing to use because it actually does come with protection insurance. So if you're sending money to someone, you can get goods and service protection. So if something goes wrong, you can make a claim through PayPal to get your money back. eBay has a similar function within it. But if you're working off of like model or sales pages, as long as you have that protection when you send the payment via PayPal, you should be OK because you do have that extra backing that comes from PayPal. So I would highly recommend using this. It's free to use. It doesn't cost anything. Sometimes if you do send money and alternate currencies, there is some fees that go along with it. But in general, if you live in the States, you're sending US money to someone else. It's free to use. You're just sending the money. You can input your bank information and your credit card. It's all completely safe. I highly recommend it. I use it for everything. Everyone in the hobby uses it for everything. So don't be afraid to sign up for that and use that for sure. I hope that this helps you in your process of buying model horses. And if you have any questions, feel free to comment down below or send me a message or even an email if you need to. So thank you so much for watching and happy online shopping.


I don't want to be, like, I don't want to be able to leave, maybe I'll, like, I don't want to be able to leave. Good thing I'm sure. Come on. I saw you. I'm sorry. Apologies, we're just going to wait for Senator Ash. Senator, come on in. Excellent. Thank you all for coming. I'm Johanna Miller, Energy and Climate Program Director at the Vermont Natural Resources Council. It's my pleasure to be here today joined by representatives of many of the 25 groups who have worked together to put a platform of climate action priorities together, and we are rolling that out today. These 25 groups represent the interests of Vermonters struggling to make ends meet, their young Vermonters, businesses, public health, faith leaders, their environmental groups, and more. We're pleased to roll out this consensus platform and call for action and honored to be joined by leading legislators, as well as Vermont Senate President Pro Tem Tim Ash as well. In just a few minutes we're going to hear from Senator Ash and a few other members of our coalition, but I wanted to take a brief moment and give you a quick overview of what those shared climate action priorities include. Those priorities include doubling the number of low and moderate income homes weatherized every year, creating an electric vehicle incentive program for low and moderate income Vermonters, starting first by strategically using the Volkswagen settlement dollars. They include expanding the deployment of renewable energy as we work to beneficially electrify our heating and transportation and power needs. It also includes joining other New England states in enacting a Global Warming Solutions Act, which requires making progress on our long term statutory climate goals. It also asks to review the results of the impartial economic analysis under the auspices of the Joint Fiscal Office undertaken by Resources for the Future, which looks at policies to decarbonize our economy. That study rolled out yesterday and we are asking legislators to take a look at the results and act on the policy that could serve all Vermonters well and grow jobs and protect vulnerable Vermonters. And lastly on our shared consensus platform we ask for lawmakers to stop expanding and investing in large scale fossil fuel infrastructure like pipelines. So these are a set of shared priorities of the 25 groups who have signed on to the blueprint for climate action. As one of the 20 members of Governor Phil Scott's Climate Action Commission, I also wanted to note that several of the priorities that we have outlined here are drawn directly from the recommendations of Governor Scott's Climate Action Commission. So we're here today to talk more about those priorities and stand ready to work with policymakers and the public to make them a reality. And in terms of making them reality, it's my pleasure to introduce to you President Tim Ash to outline his vision for moving forward and making progress on climate change this session. So welcome, Senator Ash. Well thank you and I am really delighted to stand here with such a broad cross section of Vermonters, especially young people, to think about our next step, our next steps on the journey of doing something about the global problem of climate change and taking local action to do something about it. I want to first begin by saying that we've already experienced, thanks to the good work of many of the people in this room, quite a transformation in Vermont. When I was working at Cathedral Square, a senior housing organization in about 2010, we put a solar system on the roof of three Cathedral Square in downtown Burlington. It was a 36 kilowatt system, which at the time was the largest system in Burlington. Today that would hardly be a blip on the radar screen. So we have come such a very long way in just about a decade thanks to the work of so many grassroots activists, legislators, partners in the business community and in government. We also know that weatherization, we've come a long way though we have much more to do. We've done a good job with multifamily housing. I'll give an example as well. Using HUD funds, we weatherized a 108 unit building, reducing the natural gas consumption of that building by 40% in one year. So year after year we're seeing less fossil fuel use and better budget for that housing facility. So we've made great strides, former Governor Schumann used to talk about how we were the fastest growing number of green jobs. But looking backwards while we can be proud, now the real question is what do we do looking forward? And that's really why this group is here today, is to say that it's time to really think about how we take our next steps forward. One of the great challenges we face as legislators is the public rightly says, how are you going to solve global warming tomorrow? What single step will you take to fix the entire problem? And we know that we're really in league with compadres throughout the world, not just here in the United States, but we have our part that we must do. And so the challenges I'm directing to our committees throughout the Senate is to determine what their respective role will be and what action steps they can take to contribute towards the next phase of our journey on fighting climate change. This will take place in a number of committees. I'll start with the transportation committee on which I now serve. The transportation sector is probably the greatest untapped potential to reduce our emissions. And we will be looking at everything from public transit, the use of VW funds, the incentivization of hybrid and electric vehicles. And when we do that, I want to be very clear that our primary emphasis in my opinion must be, I use the term democratizing our fight against climate change, including people who do not have the financial luxury to purchase expensive consumer items, expensive vehicles, the very low and moderate income people who often struggle throughout the state. And so we will be looking at a whole range of strategies with the primary emphasis of reducing emissions. Our agriculture committee has a role to play here too, not often thought about as a contributor to the fight against climate change. But everything from practices around feed and fertilizer and use of equipment, these are all opportunities for Vermont farm activities to contribute to the solution. Our economic development committee will be challenged to think as it looks at how we view the future of economic development and growth in our urban and rural communities, about how we co-locate renewable energy and make that an absolute priority. How do we locate renewable energy in communities that will actually encourage the movement of economic activity there, something that I think we've probably spent too little time focusing on. Our education committee has opportunities both in terms of the education it's providing broadly to all the students in the state, but also taking the next steps in terms of modernizing facilities. Those of you who have ever been in a Burlington public school know that we have great work ahead in terms of making sure that our large community institutions, our schools are more efficient and more reliant on renewable energy. The weatherization task ahead is great. We have an old housing stock, I don't need to bore you with all the stats, but needless to say without bolder steps moving forward, weatherization goals of 80,000 units being weatherized are just not going to happen. So we have to make major strides in tackling that particular challenge. So I guess I'll just conclude by saying that the effort in the Senate, and I know the same is true in the House, is not about any one committee. And it's not about one advocacy group of one item that they think is going to single-handedly solve it. It's really a combined effort across all sectors and all policy areas. And my own sort of spiritual guidance to the committees is to make sure that at every step of the way we're making sure that our efforts are always keeping in mind the types of households who need the economic linkage to fighting climate change. Right now we have had a pattern of people feeling that fighting climate change is something that only the people with extra money can really think about. They have the luxury of worrying about the environment. We have to divorce the concept that it's an issue only for the middle class and upper income people to think about. This is an issue that must financially benefit those who are low and moderate income in the state of Vermont. And that's why I particularly like this concept of beneficial electrification. The idea that as we fight climate change, we're actually helping the economics of households who have been struggling. So thank you, and I'm really looking forward to working with the whole team here. Thank you, Senator Ash. We really look forward to working with you, to your colleagues in this building, and appreciate what you've tasked your committees to do. And just note, these 25 groups that are standing here today represent those interests that you just articulated. We believe deeply in doing something about the challenge of climate change. We see the economic, job creation opportunity in it when we import 100% of the fossil fuels that we use. And most importantly, we believe strongly in ensuring that vulnerable Vermonters can participate in the transition and that we make them whole as we move forward in tackling this opportunity. And to speak to that really important perspective, I wanted to invite Erhard Monca, the Vermont Affordable Housing Coalition, up here to give us a sense of why they are supportive of this platform and an essential partner. Thank you, Joey, and thank you, Senator Ash. Good morning, and thanks to everyone who's here to support our urgent call for action this year on climate change. I'm especially pleased to share the podium with the pro tem and to hear of your commitment to take significant action that will move our state forward on what is without doubt the most important issue of our time. It's no longer a matter for informed debate that the future of our planet, our lives, and those of our children and grandchildren are at stake. My name is Erhard Monca. I'm here representing, as Joey said, the Vermont Affordable Housing Coalition and the tens of thousands of low income Vermonters that our members serve through affordable, energy efficient housing, financial assistance, and supportive services. Our coalition is made up of over 80 organizations that include the state's affordable housing developers, like Cathedral Square, which Senator mentioned, housing authorities, homeless service providers, low income advocates, and a broad array of anti-poverty agencies. We are here today to join the call to lawmakers and to the governor to support our six-point climate action plan. We ask that lawmakers enact these eminently doable, modest, pragmatic priorities before they go home in May. So why would a bunch of housing and homeless organizations support these broad based solutions to climate change? Well, because we understand that climate change is a housing issue. Climate change is a low income issue. When we look at the impacts of climate change, low income Vermonters are disproportionately impacted. We have approximately 70,000 Vermonters living in poverty in our state. They suffer the greatest consequences from our increasingly extreme weather. They live in the most risk prone locations, the most vulnerable structures, and are the slowest to recover from climate events. By way of example, I'll simply cite, ask you to remember that when Tropical Storm Irene hit us, those communities that were most disproportionately impacted were low income mobile home park communities in our state by far suffering the greatest impacts. Specifically in terms of housing, home energy costs are an unbearable burden for low income Vermonters, and the lower their income, the higher the percentage they pay to stay warm. One in five Vermonters is fuel poor, meaning they spend more than 10% of their income on fuel to heat their homes. Low income Vermonters have highest energy burdens and they often drive inefficient vehicles a long way to where they work because the only housing they can afford is far away from their jobs. Our members know that these are the realities that low income Vermonters face. We know that low income weatherization assistance programs not only lower fuel burden, but help make other health and safety improvements to their home, to Vermonters homes, connect them with needed social services, and result in proven positive health care outcomes. That's why we are engaged and committed partners in this effort today. When our members build, they build to the highest energy efficiency standards. This not only helps lower our carbon footprint, it lowers the overall cost of housing, making it more affordable for the low income Vermonters that our members serve, and more sustainable over the long term. All while creating good paying jobs that boost our economy and keep our hard earned dollars in state, instead of exporting them through the purchase of fossil fuels. Our members partner with the Vermont, with Vermont's five low income weatherization programs, and with 3E thermal. Their resources are often part and parcel of a complex mix of funding that our members need to create affordable housing in Vermont. That is why we are helping to lead the effort on one of the six points in our platform to increase weatherization production. We've done a lot in the ten years since the legislature set Vermont statutory goals to weatherize 60,000 homes by 2017 and 80,000 by 2022. Since 2007, we have weatherized 25,400 homes, over half of which were for low income residents. But clearly, in spite of our best efforts, we fell far short of the 2017 goals and are falling ever further behind on the 2022 goal. We need, number one, to reauthorize the current funding sources for low income weatherization, which expire at the end of June this year. And number two, to step up our game and double the number of low and moderate income homes that are weatherized annually, as recommended by the Governor's Climate Change Commission. In closing, I just want to say Vermont may be a small under-resourced state, but we're here to urge policymakers to make sure that Vermont plays its part in forestalling the disastrous effects of climate change. Let's make sure that we move up to our vaunted environmental reputation by backing it up with policies and resources that will have a greater impact on one of the largest contributors to our state's carbon footprint. As the last UN report warns, we only have 12 years left to make for a real difference. Hi, my name is Boreal Khaliba, and I am a senior at Harwood Union High School. And I'm part of the Vermont Youth Lobby. Earlier this year, our group decided to sign on to a climate agenda that calls for bold and comprehensive climate action in Vermont. As a young adult, I feel that it is necessary to act on the climate crisis now in order to save our future. For my generation and for the generations to come, climate change will have an incredible economic and environmental impact on all of our lives. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reported that in order to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees, human beings would have to cut down their carbon emissions by 45 percent by 2030 and be net zero by 2050. And that it is our responsibility as Vermonters to take serious and immediate action on the climate crisis before it is too late. As a young Vermonter, the economic impacts of climate change will be prevalent for the rest of my life. A report from NextGen Climate and Demos has quantified the cost of inaction on climate change in terms of lost income and wealth. I was born in the year 2000 and because of this I will lose $222,000 in income and $349,000 in wealth. That's an incredible amount of money that no one would want to lose. In order to combat the economic and environmental impacts of climate change, Vermont needs to act. I urge Vermont lawmakers to create an electric vehicle incentive program. This program would prioritize low and middle income Vermonters and would be funded by the VW Settlement Money. Last year the Vermont Youth Lobby created an effective campaign to raise support for the use of electrification with this settlement money. Transportation is the number one emitter of carbon dioxide in Vermont and the switch towards electrification can help lower our emissions. Yesterday I had the opportunity to listen and attend the RFF and JFO presentation on carbon pricing. My big takeaway was that in order to meet our goals of being net zero in Vermont, we must put a price on carbon and implement many other non-pricing policies. Thank you lawmakers for listening to our voices. We hope to work closely with you in the future on climate related policies that must be passed to guarantee a better future for everyone on this earth. Thank you. My name is Hopa Trero. I'm a junior at Montpelier High School and I'm proud to be representing Youth Lobby. I'm here today and I'm thankful for you all having me. I am here today because I'm excited to see my representatives use their leadership to the fullest extent in pushing for bold and comprehensive series of climate action initiatives. As of 2015, only 16% of Vermont's total energy consumption was powered by renewables. We know that we need to see Vermont make serious changes if we are to achieve our goal of 90% renewable energy by 2050. In passing legislation combating climate change, we need to prioritize rural remonters, working class remonters, and remonters at or below the poverty line. We can do so especially by creating an electric vehicle incentive program and prioritizing low and middle income remonters and doing so, and using the 3.6 million in consumer protection and Volkswagen settlement dollars to do so. And we can also double the number of low and middle income homes weatherized every year and by doing so support thousands of jobs, save remonters millions of dollars each year, establish a crucial aspect of our state's comprehensive energy plan, and meet our commitment to weatherize 80,000 homes by 2022. Transportation and heating are the two leading sources of Vermont's carbon emissions. By prioritizing weatherization and electrification, we can reduce carbon emissions as well as the fuel poverty that afflicts many remonters. Advancing such a comprehensive and bold set of initiatives is not only an opportunity to further our commitment to a cleaner economy in the fight against climate change, but also to champion low income advocacy. And we as Vermont's youth are in support of fighting climate change, not just as future leaders, but as the leaders of today. And right here, right now, we're pushing for justice in Vermont. Thank you. My name is Max Sabo. I'm a senior at U32 High School, and I'm speaking today also as a member of the Vermont Youth Lobby. As young people, we are coming to the age where our warming planet poses a threat to our future as adults, our future children, grandchildren. So when I look at the numbers, I'm terrified. Currently in Vermont, 20% of the energy we consume comes from renewable sources. However, it is essential that we work toward being in 100% renewable energy state and that this happens as soon as possible. Vermont already does not participate in burning coal for energy, but it does not mean that all of our energy comes from renewable sources. If we are able to become 100% renewable, we can replace old oil heaters and incentivize electric vehicles and truly begin the process of electrification. Transportation makes up for nearly 40% of all carbon emissions in Vermont. This is an astounding number, and it's essential that we promote electrification by prioritizing 100% renewable energy. In other words, it is insufficient to push for electrification when we are still using energy from non-renewable sources. Therefore, not only does renewable energy legislation need to be bold, but it must be comprehensive. We want to see our houses have electric heaters, solar panels, our cars to be electric. But all the while, the energy needs to be pulled from renewable sources. It excites me to speak today in the presence of Senate President Tim Ash and so many others because this cause that we are here fighting for is running out of time. The effects of climate change are unfolding rapidly, and this is a time where we call upon our leaders to act now with bold and comprehensive climate legislation. Thank you. Thank you. My name is Dan Barlow. I'm the Public Policy Manager with Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility, and it's a real privilege to be here with so many great legislators and elected officials and kids here from the Vermont communities focused on this issue. So, VBSR is a statewide business organization. We've been around since 1990. We have 700 members across the state, and our members know that you can't have a healthy business on a sick planet, and they're dedicated to the triple bottom line approach to business. They know that when the environment is clean and their workforce is strong, that makes them more successful businesses. So, as a state and as a country and as a world, we see two paths in front of us. The first path is the status quo. We acknowledge climate change exists, but we don't really do much to address it. So what happens to Vermont? Our total annual rainfall already at 50-year high continues to climb, causing flooding across the state. Our winters get warmer and shorter, threatening our $600 million winter recreation industry. Our maple sugaring season continues to shift and shorten, and Vermonters have to tap more trees to get the same amount of sugar from their harvest. Ticks and other illness-bearing insects thrive. Their seasons extend earlier into the spring, later into the fall, and our state parks are empty. And nationally, we face another economic crisis and the potential to lose twice what the economic wealth that was lost in the Great Recession 10 years ago. But we do have another path in front of us, and this is the path that the VBSR and our colleagues here support. We take advantage of this 12-year window that we have and address climate change and what business leaders are calling the greatest wealth creation opportunity of a generation. We create a climate economy here in Vermont, one that modernizes homes and buildings, lifts families out of cold and poverty, and focuses on investing in clean, local renewable energy. We stop sending nearly $2 billion a year out of state to fossil fuel companies. Instead, keep that money here in our communities circulating locally. This is the biggest by-local campaign in Vermont history. We position Vermont as a national and global leader on climate change, attracting new businesses, new opportunities, and a younger generation that wants to be part of the solution. And inspired by the construction of the railroads in the 1800s and the Interstate Highway System in the 1950s, Vermont leads the country in advancing electric vehicle infrastructure and a renewed investment in public and alternative forms of transportation, everything from bikes to trains. So what do we need? We need leadership. We need legislators who can rise up to the crisis of this generation. And we can decarbonize our economy, invest in green infrastructure, create jobs here in the state. This plan that came out today, the six-point plan, it's not just a plan to address climate change. This is an economic development plan for the future of the state of Vermont. We look forward to making this vision a reality. Thank you and be happy to take questions. I would say some of the proposals here have a cost and some do not. It's rather, for example, we're calling for an acting of the Voluntary Solutions Act like Massachusetts and Connecticut have done and Rhode Island are looking at. And that sets a frame for enabling entrepreneurship and leadership and policymaking to figure out the most affordable, strategic and equitable way to get to those goals that cost nothing. The weatherization that call will cost something. Right now we spend about $9 million. This is a recommendation of the Governor's Climate Action Commission. I think lots of people have creative ideas for how we actually could generate that revenue. But not all of them have a cost. And what all of them do have a cost is I think you've heard from several folks today is the cost of doing nothing, the cost of business as usual, the cost of sending about $2 billion every year out of state to pay for the energy that we all use. So I think that, you know, I can get into the nitty gritty details with you at some point, but I think that several of these do not have a cost. As I just said on the weatherization, I think that's about $9 million a year, correct me? Our low-income advocate friends, if that's inaccurate, but I believe that to be the case. On the transportation, electric vehicle incentives, we're calling for the state to use the dollars that are coming in from settlement funds strategically to mitigate the impact of how those funds were generated and to create a program for low to moderate income for owners in particular to begin to access and avail themselves of more efficient and affordable technologies. Related to a few of the other priorities, the study is a study. It's a set of facts and information upon which we can analyze which path we might choose to decarbonize our economy. That also doesn't yet come at a cost. And, you know, so several of these do not have a cost. And we are asking, yes, for the $3.6 million in consumer protection, state consumer protection, settlement dollars to go towards electrification, and that is a start. And this is why this is also a start of this conversation for 2019, why we believe that making progress on these goals is eminently possible. Again, several of them recommendations of Governor Scott's Climate Action Commission, and we very much looking forward to working with policymakers to figure out how to fund them and the most affordable strategic or how to implement them in the most affordable strategic way. I don't want to be the only one who speaks, but I guess I would say, as you know, the independent economic analysis didn't come out until yesterday. We have not had the opportunity to dig into the details of that report, so we thought it best not to come out with an answer before we had the information to base that answer on. So my bet is there is a different coalition of groups that includes businesses and low-income earners and faith leaders and others called Energy Independent Vermont that is looking at carbon pricing more specifically. And I am sure that several members of that group, including my own, are looking forward to digging into the details of that analysis and figuring out how we can actually grow jobs and protect vulnerable Vermonters and getting off of imported dirty fossil fuels. Is this designed to be an achievable, practical thing that you really think the legislature and the government can get on? You know, I think there is some new ideas in this plan and there is also some issues that the legislature and other elected officials in the building have been talking about for a few years, so there is data on there and there is history on there. So I do think that a lot of this plan is achievable this year and we need to make these changes. Our environment is threatened, our economy is threatened by climate change, so it is not a matter of what we can achieve, it is what we need to do. Thank you so much.
