Saudi Arabia hopes that technology will push its local economy forward as the kingdom tries to reach the goals of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's Vision 2030 plans, a top Saudi official has told The Associated Press. Saudi Arabia's Minister of Industry and Minerals, Bandar Al-Khorayef said that his ministry is “betting” on technology to aid it, adding “Technology will be a main driver for our growth in the sector.” Al-Khorayef said technology also will create more jobs for the Saudi youth. That's a goal of the Vision 2030 plan, which also calls for weaning the kingdom off relying on fossil fuel sales. Investments in the industrial sector have reached more than $350 billion, and the number of factories in the kingdom has exceeded 10,000, according to the ministry. The value of Saudi non-oil exports in the first half of 2022 amounted to about $44 billion, an estimated increase of 31%. Al-Khorayef also discussed Lucid, a U.S.-based electric car builder in which Saudi Arabia has shares. The company will open a plant in Saudi Arabia for the local and regional markets. CEER, a Saudi electric car brand, will create a factory soon. Saudi investments in electric cars are expected to reach $50 billion in the next decade. Al-Khorayef said he expects a bright and “great future” for Saudi Arabia as a lot of investments are being allocated to invest in people. He said his country has “one of the largest programs to develop human capital, to make the Saudi citizen a global citizen.” This article was provided by The Associated Press.

CEER Houston Director Stefania Tomaskovic visits with Politics Done Right to discuss environmental justice, the environment, and more. The Silicon Valley Bank bailout is proof of a failed system. Another big bailout!: The “geniuses” who run our economy, the titans of finance, do what they do best. They gamble our money. They sneer at regulations that protect the taxpayers from their ineptitude and faux-libertarian stance. They ultimately fail because our private finance sector is nothing but a deck of cards that ultimately falls. And then they beg for a bailout. That is what Silicon Valley Bank did.

Prince Waleed Bin Nasser Al Saud joins The 966 -- Prince Waleed is CEO of Mukatafa, a consultancy based in Riyadh that brings together the public and private sectors in Saudi Arabia, forming an ecosystem that enables the private, public, and third-party sectors to collaborate, integrate, and grow together as the Kingdom drives forward with Vision 2030. Mukatafa means standing shoulder to shoulder in Arabic, and the growing organization founded by Prince Waleed has worked specifically within the Manufacturing, Education, Food and Beverage, Grocery, Luxury Fashion, Jewelry, Beauty, Electronics, and Furniture industries. Before that discussion, the hosts discuss U.S.-Saudi relations, the mining and minerals sector in the Kingdom and much more...1:28 - Richard's One Big Thing is why U.S.-Saudi relations are in need of a healthy reset and how some recent commentary on U.S.-Saudi relations seems to recognize the need for the U.S. perspective to be updated on Saudi Arabia13:14 - Lucien's one big thing is all of the recent developments in Saudi Arabia's mining and minerals sector, overseen by Minister Bandar bin Ibrahim AlKhorayef, Deputy Minister for Mining Affairs Khalid Al-Mudaifer, and Deputy Minster Osama Zamil. The team is full steam ahead with developing the mining and minerals sector and working to make Saudi Arabia more attractive for industry in general. AlKhroyef said recently that Saudi Arabia plans to award over a dozen mining exploration licenses to international investors.Five new exploration sites are up for licensing and the kingdom will release details of an additional 10 opportunities next year, the minister said in a speech at IMARC. More than 145 licenses have been issued so far and the country has seen a 27% year-on-year growth in its mining revenue. The Minster also referenced the recently announced ambitious strategy to attract investments worth $32 billion to the sector.[Note: here is the interview referenced by Lucien: https://im-mining.com/2022/11/02/91213/]22:37 - Prince Waleed Bin Nasser Al Saud joins The 966 -- Prince Waleed is CEO of Mukatafa, a consultancy based in Riyadh that brings together the public and private sectors in Saudi Arabia, forming an ecosystem that enables the private, public, and third-party sectors to collaborate, integrate, and grow together as the Kingdom drives forward with Vision 2030.

The meetings are being held at the Sharm el Sheikh. There are two main sites for the event: the Blue Zone and the Green Zone. The Blue Zone, based at the Sharm el Sheikh International Convention Center just south of the town center, is where the official negotiations will be held. That space will be managed by the United Nations and is subject to international law. More than 35,000 delegates are expected to attend the event, including President Biden and more than 100 heads of state, according to the U.N. climate body. That is smaller than last year's summit in Glasgow, which brought together 120 world leaders and over 40,000 registered participants. But for a year in which no major decisions are officially expected, it is still a substantial gathering. Saudi Arabia announces visa-free entry ahead of FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022For the first time ever, Saudi Tourism Authority announces the extension of the Saudi multi-entry visa, the new announcement states that the multi-entry visa allows Hayya Card holders to stay in Saudi for up to 60 days, with pre-entry to the FIFA World Cup not required. Further extensions will allow for ‘Hayya with Me (1+3)', allowing Hayya Card holders and three additional friends and family members to enter the kingdom.Saudi Arabia Launches Its Own EV BrandThe kingdom's sovereign wealth fund announced last week it is launching an electric vehicle brand together with Taiwan's Foxconn, called Ceer. It will become the first Saudi automotive brand to produce electric vehicles in Saudi Arabia, and will design, manufacture, and sell a range of vehicles for consumers in the country and the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region, including sedans and sports utility vehicles.Saudi Arabia Hosting The 22nd Arab Radio & TV FestivalRunning from 9th-12th November 2022, 30 other countries will be participating in the event – including 12 that are non-Arab countries. Over 1000 media experts and professionals from around 200 radio and television networks and production and distribution companies will be attending. 2022's edition of the Arab Radio and Television Festival is being held in Saudi Arabia for the first time, as opposed to its usual location in Tunisia, where its headquarters are based and will coincide with the establishment of the Future of Media Exhibition. Saudi Arabia commits $2.5bn to Middle East Green Initiative over next 10 yearsSaudi Arabia will contribute $2.5 billion to a green initiative in the Middle East over the next ten years, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman announced during the Cop27 UN climate summit. Prince Mohammed was speaking at the second edition of the Middle East Green Initiative conference being held in Cairo alongside the Cop27 climate change summit in Egypt. He told attendees that the kingdom aims to provide more sustainable energy systems and that Saudi Arabia would build a prominent headquarters for the initiative. “With concerted regional efforts, the initiative seeks to support efforts and co-operation in the region to reduce and eliminate emissions by more than 670 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent,” he said. Saudi Arabia's October PMI marks highest growth since January 2021The headline seasonally adjusted Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) of Saudi Arabia rose to 57.2 in October 2022 from 56.6 last September, marking the strongest business outlook since January 2021. The PMI highlighted solid business conditions in the non-oil private sector economy during October 2022, according to Riyad Bank's data. Firms witnessed enhanced domestic economic conditions and smooth inflationary pressures, which resulted in the most promising outlook for future output since the beginning of 2021.
"Foxconn: iPhone maker bets on electric truck firm Lordstown Motors Foxconn, which makes iPhones for Apple, says it is deepening its investment in a US electric pick-up truck firm, which could challenge Tesla's Cybertruck. The technology giant is spending up to $170m (£147.8m) on shares in the loss-making start-up Lordstown Motors. The major cash injection comes as the company aims to ramp up production of its debut model, the Endurance. Lordstown recently began building the vehicle at a former General Motors plant in the US state of Ohio. Under the deal, the world's largest contract manufacturer of electronics bought a more than 18% stake in Lordstown, making it the largest investor in the company. Apple iPhones delayed over China Covid lockdown UK battery firm averts collapse as funding secured Mini move to China unfortunate, minister says ""Since announcing our first transaction with Foxconn more than a year ago, it has been our objective to develop a broad strategic partnership that leverages the capabilities of both companies,"" Lordstown's executive chairman Daniel Ninivaggi said. ""Foxconn's latest investment is another step in that direction,"" he added. The two companies also said they would jointly develop an electric vehicle together, although they did not give further details of the plan. The tie-up came after the world's biggest electric carmaker Tesla, which is owned by multi-billionaire Elon Musk, was earlier this month reported by the Reuters news agency to be planning to start mass production of its Cybertruck at the end of 2023. That would be two years after the original target for the highly-anticipated pick-up truck that Mr Musk unveiled in 2019. Taiwan-based Foxconn's investment is the latest cash injection into Lordstown as it continues to run at a loss. Separately on Monday, figures for the three months to the end of September showed a net loss of $154.4m, wider than the $95.8m loss the company reported for the same time last year. Shares in Lordstown rose by almost 18% in extended trading in New York after the announcements. Last week Foxconn agreed a deal with Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund to produce electric vehicles in the kingdom. The joint venture will operate under the brand name Ceer, which sounds like the Arabic word for ""drive"". Ceer will license technology from Germany's BMW and aims to start selling its electric vehicles from 2025. The deal is part of Saudi Arabia's push to move its economy away from its dependence on fossil fuels. Last month Foxconn's chairman Liu Young-way said he hopes the company will one day make cars for Tesla as it ramps up electric vehicle manufacturing operation. Speaking at the company's annual Tech Day, he said the firm aimed to replicate its success in manufacturing consumer devices as it expands into making electric vehicles for major motor industry brands. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-63551439?xtor=AL-72-%5Bpartner%5D-%5Bgnl.newsletters%5D-%5Bheadline%5D-%5Bnews%5D-%5Bbizdev%5D-%5Bisapi%5D&xtor=ES-213-[BBC%20News%20Newsletter]-2022November8-[top+news+stories] " "#TheMummicogblogOfMalta Amazon Top and Flash Deals(Affiliate Link - You will support our translations if you purchase through the following link) - https://amzn.to/3CqsdJH Compare all the top travel sites in just one search to find the best hotel deals at HotelsCombined - awarded world's best hotel price comparison site.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Preregistration: Air Conditioner Test, published by johnswentworth on April 21, 2022 on LessWrong. Warning: None of the participants in the Great Air Conditioner Debate Of 2022 have endorsed my summaries of their positions in this post. Including me. Background In Everything I Need To Know About Takeoff Speeds I Learned From Air Conditioner Ratings On Amazon, I complained about the top-rated new air conditioner on Amazon. I claimed that it's a straightforward example of a product with a major problem, but a major problem which most people will not notice, and which therefore never gets fixed. Specifically: although it does cool the room, the air conditioner also pulls hot air from outside into the house. People do notice the cool air blowing from the air conditioner, but don't think to blame the air conditioner for hot air drawn into the house elsewhere. Simply adding a second hose would fix the problem at relatively low extra cost, and dramatically improve the effectiveness of the air conditioner. But companies don't actually do that because (apparently) people mostly don't notice the problem. To my surprise, multiple commenters disagreed with my interpretation of the air conditioner example. They argue that in fact one-hose air conditioners work fine. Sure, single-hose air conditioners are less-than-ideally efficient compared to two-hose, but it's not a very big difference in practice. CEER efficiency ratings account for the problems, and the efficiency difference is typically only about 20-30%. Also, The Wirecutter tested lots of portable air conditioners and found that there wasn't much difference between one-hose and two-hose designs. (Credit to Paul for both those pieces of evidence.) Really, what this example illustrates is that simple models and clever arguments are not actually very reliable at predicting how things work in practice. One should instead put more trust in experiment and reported experiences, including all those 5-star ratings on Amazon. I, on the other hand, think the “second hose doesn't help much” claim is a load of baloney. I think it is far more probable that CEER ratings are bullshit and The Wirecutter messed up their test, than that a second hose makes only a small difference. And so began The Great Air Conditioner Debate Of 2022. . Why Do Air Conditioners Need Hoses? Ideally, an air conditioner should work much like a fridge: it pumps heat from air inside to air outside. Inside and outside air do not touch or mix; only heat flows from one to the other. A portable air conditioner sits inside the house. So, in order to pump heat to the outside air (without letting it mix with inside air) it needs two hoses. One hose runs from a window to the air conditioner, and sucks in outside air. The other runs from the air conditioner back to the window, and blows the outside air back out. Inside air comes in and out through vents in the air conditioner, and the unit pumps heat from the inside air to the outside air, keeping the two separate throughout the process. A single-hose air conditioner doesn't do that. A single hose air conditioner sucks in indoor air, splits it into two streams, and pumps heat from one stream to the other. The hotter stream blows out the window (via the one hose); the cooler stream blows back into the room. The problem with a single-hose design is that it blows air from inside to outside; it removes air from the room. That lowers the pressure in the room slightly, so new air is pulled back in via whatever openings the house has. That air comes from outside, so presumably it's warm - and it's replacing formerly-cool indoor air. (Technical term for this problem: “infiltration”.) Oversimplified Summary Of The Debate I'm not even going to try to do justice here, just give what I currently think are the key points, in roughly ch...

In Texas, between 2000 and 2016, petrochemical refineries released more than 400 million pounds of pollution into the air. However, in all that time, the Environmental Protection Agency never once consulted the most affected people. The Coolest Show Host Rev Yearwood dives into this issue with two experts from the Coalition for Environment, Equity & Resilience (CEER). Iris Gonzalez is the coalition director at CEER, and Carol Smith serves as its climate ambassador. Land in the Black community continues to be haggled away by politicians and business people who don't live in these communities but look to profit through petrochemicals production. Petrochemicals contribute to air contamination, water pollution, and land deterioration, while greenhouse gases released also contribute to global climate change. Several studies have shown an increased amount of people with cancer living near these facilities.

W ostatnich 3 latach dużo i głośno jest o RPA, o korzyściach, zaletach. O tym, że tzw. „ biznes” w firmach w końcu może coś zrobić bez udziału IT i ich owianych sławą „ mendejów”. Bo „biznes” został nauczony „komitetów, CeeRów, kolejkowania, scrumowania, edżajlowania”. A tu nagle pojawia się coś co temu „biznesu” może ulżyć. Gdzie „on” sam może coś skonfigurować i nie czekać 3 lata. Jednak nie jest to super panaceum na wszystkie bolączki i raczej powinno być traktowane jako rozwiązanie przejściowe, ale sami wiecie, że „prowizorki nie mając obciążenie tym, że mają być na lata, dobrze sprawdzają na … lata”. Aby to ogarnąć i przybliżyć wszystkim zainteresowanym tematem zaprosiłem do rozmowy prof. Szkoły Głównej Handlowej Andrzeja Sobczaka – pasjonata automatyzacji. Rozmawiamy o: - dlaczego dostawca energii elektrycznej potrzebuje RPA - kiedy roboty „zabiorą miskę ryżu” - czy roboty się uczą - dlaczego firmy z powodu RPA mogą się pożegnać z CIO - od RPA nie ma ucieczki - czym jest RPA dzisiaj, a czym było w założeniach - czy będzie „next bing thing”jakie zagrożenia niesie RPA - jakie zmiany w edukacji pracowników są niezbędny, aby RPA miało sens - jak zrobić wdrożenie RPA „po krakowsku
Interested in learning more about the Clean Energy Package? Check out our online course: http://bit.ly/CEP_online_course The second day of FSR Global Forum coincided with the day when the new Electricity market Regulation and Electricity market Directive as well as of the Regulations on Risk Preparedness and on ACER were adopted by the European Parliament. This marks the finalisation of the Clean Energy Package negotiations. Dr. Annegret Groebel shares with us her insights on the CEP role in enhancing the functioning of the internal electricity market and reaching climate goals, specifically on the role of regional coordination centres (RCCs); the establishment of the EU DSO entity and its tasks; the updated adoption process for network codes and guidelines.
In the framework of the 7th World Forum on Energy Regulation (WFER), ICER Women in Energy and FSR teamed up to ‘give a voice’ to women professionals actively contributing to the event. Marie-Pierre Fauconnier is President of the Board of Directors at CREG and Vice President of CEER. During the interview with Swetha Bhagwat (FSR), her first remark highlighted how the role of women has changed in the energy sector: 25 years ago, they were very few, while today, although still a clear minority, they are gaining more and more space and responsibilities. According to Ms. Fauconnier, the two biggest challenges the energy sector will be facing in the upcoming future are the integration of RES in the energy mix and the impact of digitalisation and new technologies. These “novelties” generate both opportunities and threats. It is crucial for energy regulators to ensure that ‘every customer is onboard’ so that no one is left behind. Digitalisation and the speedy adoption of fast-changing technologies are challenging the very same way regulators work and operated. New skills and approaches are needed to cope the energy transition. Women can provide an important contribution in this regard.

In the framework of the 7th World Forum on Energy Regulation (WFER), ICER Women in Energy and FSR teamed up to ‘give a voice’ to women professionals actively contributing to the event. Annegret Groebel is Vice-President at CEER and Head of the International Relations Department at BNetzA, Germany’s multisector regulatory authority. In this podcast, she sheds light on BNetzA’s approach and discusses the main similarities and differences when it comes to a ‘multisector regulation’. Network industries under the supervision of BNetzA share similar cost structures and face the problem of recovering sunk costs. The challenge for regulators is then to assess those costs and ensure an adequate structure and level of the network tariff paid by network users. However, regulators like BNetzA play a role also in ensuring the integrity and transparency of the wholesale markets, as mandated in the EU by REMIT. As a concluding remark, Ms Groebel stresses the importance of looking at the regulatory experience of other countries and other sectors. Knowledge sharing, eagerness to learn and cooperation are essential to avoid mistakes and improve the regulation of the industries under the oversight of NRAs.

What lessons from the SmartNet Project? Interviews with the stakeholders #1: Andrew Burgess (CEER, OFGEM) ‘What is interesting of the SmartNet project is that it’s looking at difficult issues in detail and it’s trialling them to see what works’ Highlights from the SmartNet Project Advisory Board (Glasgow - February 2018) The EU Horizon2020 funded SmartNet project arises from the need to find answers and propose new practical solutions to the increasing integration of Renewable Energy Sources in the existing electricity transmission network. http://smartnet-project.eu/
Recorded 11 May 2017 at CEER, Brussels Description: Nicolò Rossetto (FSR)and Ben Voorhorst (COO at TenneT, ENTSO-E)discuss the report prepared by the Florence School of Regulation on the integration and the decarbonisation of the European electricity sector. Mr Voorhorst acknowledges the relevance of the missing pillars and the roadblocks identified in the report and underlines the necessity for European policy-makers to take clear decisions regarding coordination of actions and decisions, sharing of costs and benefits, and of solidarity beyond costs and benefits. Without such basic and intrinsically political choices, technical entities like TSOs cannot provide, by their own, efficient and effective solutions enabling the full integration of the European electricity system and a smooth and speedy transition to a low-carbon economy.
Jean-Michel is joined by Annegret Groebel, vice-President CEER & Vice-chair of ACER's Board of Regulators, to discuss regional cooperation in the internal energy market and the coupling of regions. How can we converge towards a common regime? And who is in charge of the process? Recorded 23 September at the conference "Completing the European Power Market Integration" organised by ENTSO-E in Bratislava with the support of FSR. http://fsr.eui.eu/event/completing-european-power-market-integration/ “I think we should not talk of regionalisation because this indeed has the negative impact of splitting the market, and we all work towards the internal energy market.” “All stake holders must work together, and would not say it is bottom up or top down, maybe we can say it’s kind of a diagonal”
Sebastian Pooschke and Christopher Bremme of Linklaters discuss the findings of the CEER status reviews on the implementation of unbundling rules for TSOs and DSOs.

At the International Energy Agency in Paris, 28 April 2016, Jean-Michel Glachant - Director of the Florence School of Regulation, interviews Fulvio Fontini, an expert on European capacity mechanisms, he works for both the Italian regulator (Autorita per l'Energia Elettrica il Gas) and CEER. “Administrative borders don’t have any effect on electrons, so we need to deal with the typology of the system” “There is an issue of security of supply, which is still a national issues, this is what the European legislation prescribes… this is the way that we set up our rules, whatever can be done at national level should be done at national level providing that it is homogenised” “One dimension of capacity is the dimension of assessing security of supply, whether it is effectively needed or not that you have a capacity mechanism, and what are the consequences of introducing capacity mechanisms for security of supply”
On Wednesday, February 24th, at 9:30 am in CEER 001, the Office for Mission and Ministry will host Cardinal Peter Turkson, President of the Pontifical Council on Justice and Peace, who will make a presentation on Laudato Si and the Human Family. The presentation is free and open to the campus community.
