Angel Mom Tells Senate Democrats 'Deportation Is Necessary,' Showing Photo of Murdered DaughterThere was a bit to learn from the webinar held on December 10 by EnergyCo; essentially a new organisation having grown from 20 to 200 people in three years and with a new board headed by Paul Binsted, and now also a new CEO. I have high confidence in the board: Alex Wonhas developed the ISP, Binsted did a great job as chair of Stanwell, Rebecca Colvin has a strong reputation in social license. The new CEO Hannah McCaughey is much travelled, career-wise, most recently being a senior adviser at ClimateWorks and having also worked at Ausgrid, Gelion, APA and British Gas according to her LinkedIn profile. I don’t propose to go into much detail about Energyco in this note ,but just to comment that: 1. The webinar did not address the issue of ensuring that the renewable developers will build the plant they have committed to. At the moment my strong understanding is that the developers wont commit until there is complete assurance that the transmission will be ready on time. Since the coal generators are definitely closing by the early 2030s, and will likely become even more unreliable well before then, it’s not an issue that can be ignored. The job requires that all the things necessary to keep the lights on be achieved. That involves the transmission, the connections modelling, the social licence and that the generation be built. At the moment, my sense is that the New South Wales government is fully aware of the issue but just unprepared to tackle it. 2. I was personally unhappy with Andrew Kingsmill’s response to a question about the South West Renewable Energy Zone (SW REZ). Andrew stated that the Orana zone requires 100 km of new transmission (plus some reinforcement downstream) and that the New England zone requires 250 km. However, according to Kingsmill, the SW Zone requires 500 km. That, for sure, is fair enough as far as it goes – and the SW zone, from a Sydney perspective, requires not just Humelink but also significant reinforcement of the Southern Sydney Loop. However, the SW zone is so attractive from a resource and social license perspective – and also very well located from a NEM perspective, with connections via VNI West to Victoria and Energy Connect to South Australia as well as Humelink – that I just don’t think that answer is forward-thinking enough. Equally, the quality of developer in the area and the project approvals that have already been obtained are way better than those in New England. In simple English, New Englanders are full of Barnaby Joyce types who would not know a good idea if it hit them on the head, whereas Riverina people and councils are interested in regional development. Technically it’s likely that SW development, excluding transmission, is cheaper as it is flat ground which makes crane access far more straightforward. Equally it’s an EnergyCo director – Alex Wonhas – who has written about using batteries to avoid the N-1 issues of double circuit lines, an idea basically poo-pooed by Kingsmill who said that batteries could only offer minor improvements to line capacity. An alternative view is that batteries could double capacity. At the very least, 4 GW switch gear could be used at Humelink, even though I will guess it wont be. Certainly they would be big batteries. If there was 4 GW going through Humelink and one circuit trips within 30 minutes AEMO needs to be secure for the loss of the second circuit, or so I’m told. Obviously I don’t know. I’m a financial analyst, On the we discussed the transmission links to the SW Zone with Brett Redman, CEO of Transgrid, who also expressed reservations. On the other hand, in another episode, So it’s clear that what the developers want and what the transmission people want are at odds. In my view this needs to be sorted out. Otherwise, I expect the renewable developers may well take things into their own hands as Westwind has hinted at doing in Victoria. Certainly, a far more cohesive and thoughtful response is required than it was possible for Andrew Kingsmill to give in a 30 second response to a question. In summary, EnergyCo is well on its journey now but it’s far, far too early to call it a success. Major issues still need to be sorted out. In particular I do think EnergyCo needs to be flexible, and to be fair it has shown flexibility, but also to think very hard about where the generation should be built and to ensure it is built by 2030.manaloplay live casino 。

Belgium shares higher at close of trade; BEL 20 up 1.67%

A fast-moving winter storm will head eastward across the Great Lakes, central Appalachians and the Northeast on Wednesday and Thursday, bringing a powerful arctic cold front with strong bursts of snow and forceful gusts of wind to millions of Americans. The storm, known as an “Alberta Clipper” due to the origin of these kinds of storms in the Canadian province of Alberta, is a low pressure system that moved across southeastern Canada and hit the Northern Plains and the Great Lakes region Wednesday before it spreads to the central Appalachians, the Northeast and the Mid-Atlantic on Thursday, according to a social media post from the National Weather Service Prediction Center. Dangerous travel conditions, power outages, fallen tree branches and whiteouts are projected, with 50 mph winds and the typically light and fluffy snow of a clipper storm, which makes it prone to drifting and difficult to clear, contributing to hazardous conditions. READ: Here’s what to know about the winter storm: States from the Dakotas to New England may feel the effects of the Alberta Clipper, as wind and winter storm advisories and warnings have been issued from the Great Lakes to the Northeast. Snow in North Dakota, northern Minnesota, Michigan, New York, northern Pennsylvania and New England is predicted by the National Weather Service . Conditions include snow squalls, warnings about which were in effect Wednesday morning in eastern North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota, according to a social media post from the National Weather Service Prediction Center. Lake-effect snow is also expected in northeast Ohio, northwestern Pennsylvania and western New York, with snowfall ranging from approximately 6 to 20 inches, adding to the snow that already fell in these states around the Thanksgiving holiday. Similarly, the National Weather Service warned about blizzard conditions in Maryland’s Garrett County and West Virginia’s Grant and Western Pendleton counties for late Wednesday until mid-afternoon Thursday, with wind gusts as high as 60 mph and 3 to 9 inches of snow expected. According to the National Weather Service , the lake effect occurs when cold air moves over the open waters of the Great Lakes and gathers moisture and warmth from the relatively warmer, unfrozen lakes. As the air rises, clouds begin to form and expand into a narrow band that drops snow downwind of the lake. But because the bands are narrow, they can produce heavy snowfall in specific areas depending on where the wind takes them, which means that snow could be falling in one place and the sun could be shining not too far away. Associated Press Dec. 2, 2024 Snow squalls are short-lived snow events that usually only last an hour, according to the National Weather Service . Despite their quick nature, snow squalls are intense due to their moderate to heavy snowfalls and strong winds that can result in whiteout conditions, which greatly reduce visibility and create unsafe travel conditions for motorists.

Nine states poised to end coverage for millions if Trump cuts Medicaid fundingUPPER DARBY, Pa. (WPVI) -- Thousands of drivers in Delaware County have been issued citations for passing school buses this school year after several districts have implemented new technology to catch violators. Video from a traffic camera on an Upper Darby school bus earlier this year shows the bus approaching Ruskin Lane on South 69th Street. The bus puts out its stop sign and a dark SUV speeds through. Seconds later, students cross in front of the bus. As police have learned, this is something that happens nearly 60 times a day in Upper Darby. "I was floored," said Upper Darby Police Superintendent Timothy Bernhardt. "We get inundated, both the school district and the police department, with complaints about traffic, and one of the main complaints is people passing school buses." That's why this year, the district started working with BusPatrol, a company that installs cameras on school buses that collect information on violators. "We can see the arm extend. We see the stop, flashing stop sign go up, and we see the car go by, and we see the offense in the beginning, middle, and end," he said. The technology captures images from the front, side, and rear and sends the information on violators to police departments who issue the citations. "When we went through and we were first implementing the technology, it was, 'Yeah you'll probably see a few hundred in the first few months,'" said Bernhardt There have been 5,300 citations in Upper Darby issued this school year. "It's also sad when you think about it that that many people are passing school buses on a regular basis," said Bernhardt Upper Darby isn't the only district that's implemented the technology. Marple-Newtown began this year as well, gathering 200-300 citations a month. Lower Merion School District is also considering using BusPatrol. "This isn't us trying to punish people, we're trying to teach people that safety has to be out there," said Bernhardt. Drivers we spoke with say they always stop for school buses but aren't surprised others don't. "I got cars passing me on the left, on the right, because I'm going to slow in the school zone," said Terrance Stirling. "I don't do it. I reject that, I think it's ridiculous," said Pat Jaffe. The citation comes with a $300 fine. Police say so far, not many people have fought the ticket.

Wall Street’s main indexes closed lower on Tuesday as technology sector losses offset gains in communications services while investors waited for key inflation reports that may influence the Federal Reserve’s next interest rate decisions. Among the S&P 500’s 11 major industry sectors, only three ended with gains a day ahead of the November reading of the Consumer Price Index, one of the last major reports ahead of the Fed’s Dec. 17-18 meeting. Headline inflation is expected to have risen slightly in November to 2.7 per cent from 2.6 per cent in October. The Producer Price Index report will follow on Thursday. “There’s a little bit of wait-and-see in the market ahead of the CPI and PPI data this week,” said Mona Mahajan, head of investment strategy at Edward Jones. “Markets want to see a number that won’t be too disruptive to the Fed next week.” If the CPI comes in line with estimates, investors will expect an “all clear” for the Fed to lower rates by 25 basis points next week, she added. Traders see an 86 per cent chance for a cut next week, CME’s FedWatch Tool showed. Bets had jumped after Friday’s news of an uptick in unemployment along with a rebound in job growth, which had slowed in October. Noting the S&P 500’s roughly 27 per cent gain for the year so far, Lindsey Bell, chief strategist at 248 Ventures in Charlotte, North Carolina, said investors are cautious ahead of the economic data and Fed meeting. “We’re in a seasonally strong period of the year and investors are just kind of taking a breather,” said Bell. Market participants will be watching out for signs that the US central bank will pause its easing cycle in January, after a host of Fed officials last week hinted at a slower pace of monetary policy easing on the back of a resilient economy. “It’s less about what the Fed does next week but what they say about the future trajectory of interest rates,” said Bell. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 154.10 points, or 0.35 per cent, to 44,247.83. The S&P 500 lost 17.94 points, or 0.30 per cent, at 6,034.91 and the Nasdaq Composite fell 49.45 points, or 0.25 per cent, to 19,687.24. Communication services, up 2.6 per cent, was the biggest percentage gainer among S&P 500 sectors with help from a 5.6 per cent rally in shares of Google-parent Alphabet after it unveiled a new chip. The biggest percentage decliner was real estate, falling 1.6 per cent. The S&P’s biggest index point drag was from technology, down 1.3 per cent. It was weighed down by a 6.7 per cent drop in Oracle shares after the cloud computing company missed Wall Street estimates for second-quarter results. Adding pressure to technology, the Philadelphia semiconductor index fell 2.5 per cent after China’s Monday announcement of an investigation into Nvidia over suspected violations of anti-monopoly law. The probe was widely seen as retaliation against US curbs on China’s chip sector. Shares in Walgreens Boots Alliance rallied 17.7 per cent, making it the S&P 500’s biggest percentage gainer after reports that it is in talks to sell itself to private equity firm Sycamore Partners. The S&P 500’s biggest percentage decliner was Moderna Inc , which fell 9.1 per cent after BofA reinstated coverage of the company with an ‘underperform’ rating. Alaska Airlines shares rose 13 per cent after it raised its fourth-quarter profit forecast, while Boeing gained 5.5 per cent after Reuters reported the planemaker restarted production of its 737 MAX jets last week. Among individual stock movers, software firm MongoDB fell 16.9% despite raising its forecast for annual results. In mid-caps, luxury homebuilder Toll Brothers shares fell 6.9 per cent after its quarterly results beat expectations but its current quarter forecasts disappointed. Declining issues outnumbered advancers by a 1.88-to-1 ratio on the NYSE where there were 117 new highs and 42 new lows. On the Nasdaq, 1,655 stocks rose and 2,671 fell as declining issues outnumbered advancers by a 1.61-to-1 ratio. The Nasdaq Composite recorded 87 new highs and 86 new lows while the S&P 500 posted 10 new 52-week highs and three new lows. On the volume side, on US exchanges 13.35 billion shares change hands compared with the 14.35 billion average for the last 20 sessions.

Recursion Pharmaceuticals CEO sells $285,600 in stock

Ola Aina’s Nottingham Forest moved up to third spot in the Premier League table after a narrow win over Tottenham on Thursday. In-form winger Anthony Elanga struck for a third straight game as Forest clinched fourth successive win in the top flight for the first time since 1995. It also earned boss Nuno Espirito Santo a first win over Tottenham – who had ex-Forest defender Djed Spence sent off in injury time – since being sacked by them three years ago. Nuno lasted just four months in North London and, when he was dismissed in November 2021, his stock in England had fallen following a stale end to his four years at Wolves. Although, as he was not tne first choice for the job in the first place, he was a symptom of the problems at Tottenham at the time, rather than the main issue himself. With victory, Forest have more points than during last season’s successful survival fight in half the games to underline the rapid progress made under Nuno, who has restored his reputation. He has the club in a strong position going into January’s transfer window, yet Forest are wary of upsetting the dynamic of a squad which has taken them so far this season, and keeping the team together may be more of a concern. BBC Sports reports that Elanga’s form means he will undoubtedly attract attention again with Newcastle long-term admirers, and the winger’s current goalscoring run has ended a 10-month drought. As for Spurs, they continue to drift after a sixth defeat in 10 Premier League games and are 11 points behind Forest and their former manager. Brief chants of ‘we want Levy out’ echoed from the away end, especially after Elanga’s 28th-minute winner, a cool low finish following a quick break. Former Forest favourite Brennan Johnson tested Matz Sels three times but despite dominating the ball – having almost 70% possession – Tottenham missed a ruthless edge and questions about their direction on and off the pitch will continue to grow.
