Clean Spark, Inc. (CLSK) (Market Cap: $89.019M, Share Price: $2.24)

The $3.5bn cannabis industry is one of the nation's most energy intensive, often demanding 24-hour indoor lighting rigs, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems at multiplying grow sites. Legal cannabis cultivation in the U.S. consumes an estimated 1.1 terawatt-hours of electricity a year, according to the 2018 Cannabis Energy Report, published by Scale Microgrid Solutions along with New Frontier Data and the Resource Innovation Institute.

No matter what you think about Cannabis, there is no doubt companies providing and managing their energy use are going to be big winners. That's why we think one of the best cannabis plays isn't even technically a cannabis company at all. CLSK is one of the top microgrid companies in the entire world, currently working with NYSE company MAC on a potential $18 million project.

CLSK has received some attention for their unique cannabis industry microgrid solution. Their mPulse software reduces the monthly electricity bill of indoor grow-houses by up to 82%! They do this by virtually eliminating the demand charges that can account for almost 50% of the utility charges for such a facility.

CLSK also announced several highlights in its most recent letter to shareholders an agreement for an $18.3 million 'Zero Net Energy' Microgrid with an S&P 500 Member Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), near completion on a $900,000 contract to install a 'turn-key advanced microgrid system' at the U.S. Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, they have been awarded 2 patents, and they updated an acquisition that could be a huge boost to the company's year end revenues.

Now's a good time to start your research on the CLSK.
