Unlocking $2.1 Trillion in Energy Potential

One company has developed a technology that extracts valuable resources from coal without burning it. From jet fuel to diesel and more, Frontieras North America has the potential to address $2.1  trillion in annual markets*.

It’s similar to when John D. Rockefeller commercialized oil refining technology. If Frontieras captures just 2% of the global coal market, they would position themselves as the global leader in the space.

They just broke ground for their $850 million flagship facility and reserved the ‘FASF’ NASDAQ ticker. Don’t miss your chance to join the next phase of growth: invest in Frontieras before the opportunity ends on August 27.

Restaurant Spotlight

If your morning routine could use a little more sugar, DonutMakes might be worth setting the alarm for.

Located at 205 Grandview Drive in Summerville, this local donut shop specializes in big, fluffy yeast-raised donuts with everything from classic glaze and chocolate fudge to raspberry frosting, lemon filling and Boston cream. The filled donuts are especially worth a look—the Boston cream comes topped with chocolate frosting and packed with Bavarian cream.

But don't make the mistake of thinking this is strictly a donut run.

DonutMakes also has a legit breakfast menu with bacon, sausage and ham egg-and-cheese sandwiches on croissants or biscuits. If you're especially hungry, there's an Ultimate Croissant stuffed with sausage, bacon, ham, egg and cheese. They also serve sausage-and-cheese kolaches, including a jalapeño version wrapped in slightly sweet, slow-risen bread.

Wash it down with hot or iced coffee, a latte, or one of their flavored sweet teas like guava, passion fruit, raspberry or lychee.

They're open early and close at 1PM, so this is definitely a morning mission. Just remember, they're closed Tuesdays.
