From the Blog 
Almost every large company in the world has used fossil fuels at some point, whether at a federal level or a state level. Restrictions are being placed on how certain corporations handle their carbon footprint. While some companies have pledged toward a more carbon-neutral future, reaching those sustainability goals takes time, effort, and money. This has led to a new industry solely based on carbon dioxide extraction from the atmosphere. The carbon capture and storage industry is on the rise, with Fortune 500 companies investing millions into reducing their carbon credit and billionaires launching their start-ups in the sector.
The current earthquakes seen in Turkey are a devastating event that will have ramifications in all sectors of life. In this blog we will be discussing the economic impact. The recent 7.8 earthquakes in Turkey will significantly impact the Turkish economy, which will ripple throughout the world economy. Turkey has the 19th largest economy in the world at nearly 1 trillion USD. Economic consequences of this disaster are seeming to be high inflation, a collapsing stock market, and a devastated agricultural sector.
