1. Slamming Is a Serious Threat for Facilities Slamming is a deceptive practice where unauthorized third parties trick business staff into signing up for expensive electricity supply contracts, often by posing as utility representatives. This can result in facilities unknowingly paying much higher rates. 2. Financial Impact Can Be Huge Justin shares real-world examples where facilities ended up paying outrageous rates—like 30¢ per kWh (kilowatt hour) instead of the standard 10¢—sometimes adding up to thousands of dollars each month. One client's bill was reduced from $15,000 to $5,000 per month after the issue was detected and resolved. 3. Most People Don't Check Utility Bills Thoroughly Business owners and their staff rarely scrutinize line items on utility bills, making it easy for slamming and mistakes like being placed in the wrong “rate class” to go undetected for years. One example saved a company $120,000 in refunds. 4. David Energy Offers Ongoing Bill Monitoring as a Free Value-Add David Energy provides free bill “health checks” and ongoing monitoring to spot slamming and correct rate errors. This service is meant to protect clients from these costly mistakes and ensure they aren't overpaying, with no obligation to switch providers. 5. Education and Proactive Partnering are Critical Know the difference between utilities, suppliers, and brokers. David Energy acts as a direct supplier—not a broker—and works directly with Con Edison. Partnering with a provider who proactively reviews bills adds substantial value and financial protection for facility owners. If you want to take advantage of their free bill review, reach out to Justin and the David Energy team with your most recent utility bill for a no-strings-attached analysis.

Students concerned about what's ahead for planet Every spring for the last five years, Aaron Burke, the librarian at South Avenue Elementary in Beacon, has led students to nearby Fishkill Creek to stock the stream with 3-inch brown trout. While watching the 60 or so fish grow in a 55-gallon aquarium in the basement library, the children give them names like Fred and Bob. Burke hopes to get kids to put down their video games and foster a love of nature. "There are very few kids playing outside," he said. "If you don't have any feelings about the environment, you're not going to change your behavior." Burke is among a growing number of educators in the Highlands who are part of a climate-education movement, teaching students about the changing environment and helping address what has been called "climate anxiety." One survey found that nearly 60 percent of students said they are "extremely worried" about climate change, while 85 percent are at least "moderately worried." Leah Alper, who teaches about climate change at Haldane in her environmental science elective, said she has seen that worry firsthand. "Students want to talk about it," she said. Sofia Kelly, a junior who founded the Habitat Revival Club, which has 40 members, agreed. "We had 80-degree weather in October," she said. "It's frightening." "This generation is going to be facing real challenges with regard to climate change, and we need to start educating them accordingly," said Greg Stowell, superintendent for the Garrison district, one of 53 schools designated by the U.S. Department of Education this year as a Green Ribbon School for environmental education, sustainability practices and improved health and wellness. Last month, the state Department of Education unveiled a plan to include climate education in a widespread revamping of New York's high school graduation requirements. A curriculum is expected by the fall of 2026. New York is following the lead of a handful of states that have mandated climate education, including New Jersey, Connecticut, California and Illinois. Colorado high school graduates can receive a seal of climate literacy on their diplomas by demonstrating mastery. About 75 percent of districts nationwide teach about climate change to some extent, according to a survey by the North American Association for Environmental Education. However, it also found teachers are concerned about the lack of standardized curricula and administrative support. At Haldane, Christian Hoolan weaves climate-related lessons into his discrete mathematics class, an elective popular with seniors. For example, the class analyzed the cost of heating and cooling Hoolan's home. "We dissected my Con Edison bill and figured out what it means when the price of energy is 8 cents per kilowatt-hour," he said. In the Garrison district, middle school students create journals in English and Language Arts classes about the environment. "We start with connecting kids to nature," said Rachel Arbor, the director of environmental education. "Before we start learning about climate problems, we need to deal with our personal relationship with the environment." Arbor recently published an article in Environmental Education Research about how nature journaling can improve mood among middle schoolers. She was one of nine teachers nationwide selected this year to receive a Presidential Innovation Award for Environmental Educators from the Environmental Protection Agency. Arbor, who lives in Beacon, is leaving the district in January to focus on her consulting firm, Gaia Scholastic. The district has hired her successor, Christa Buccola Henriquez, and Stowell said it plans to continue to host an annual youth climate summit where area students and professionals come to Garrison to discuss climate-related topics.
Mayor Adams says he wants to use his executive authority to change New York's sanctuary city law. Then, NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny told NBC New York investigators have uncovered evidence that Luigi Mangione had prior knowledge UnitedHealthcare was holding its annual investor conference in Manhattan. Finally, Governor Hochul says she's ordering the MTA to do a full review with Con Edison to figure out why electrical issues caused prolonged subway delays Wednesday night.

The photographers I am exposed to by doing this show never cease to amaze me. Recently, my buddy Ian Spanier told a friend of his that he should be on the show, and gave him my contact info. At that point, Jason Gardner reached out to me, and when Ian, who has been on the show a few times himself, suggests someone I need to pay attention. Jason is an interesting photographer. He has galleries on his site for Editorial, Events, Personalities, and Lifestyle, and the work is fantastic. Honestly, there were a few of his lifestyle images I really wanted to cover on the show, and hopefully we get to revisit that subject one day. For this show though we look at a project Jason has been working on for years, a lot of years. For over 15 years, throughout 15 countries, Jason has documented the ritual and festival of Carnival, focusing on traditional, folkloric, and community celebrations. The resulting images, which are the subject of his second book, We the Spirits, and a window into how humanity, worldwide, celebrate life, tradition, and folklore. Photographs from We the Spirits were displayed in the exhibition Costume and Masquerade: at the Stadhaus in Ulm, Germany, and the project was selected to be exhibited at the Mois de la Photo OFF Photography festival in Paris, and that's just two of the many exhibitions that Jason's work has been displayed at, and in fact the images from We the Spirits will be on display again for an exhibition at Ted and Nune Studio, Street Hastings-on-Hudson, NY from April 6 - May 19. With a client list that includes Con Edison, HBO, TED Talks, Dassault Systèmes, Electrolux, Grand Central Station, Samsung Corporation, N-Y Historical Society, Freshworks, Ogilvy & Mather, Direct TV, Pfizer, Big Brothers Big Sisters NY, and Human Rights Watch, it's no wonder Jason has seen the success he has. Seriously, go check out his Lifestyle / Editorial work, or his Personalities gallery. So good. Getting back to that term "Visual Anthropology", Jason describes it this way: "In my practice, I document visually various aspects of a culture, and how it is celebrated, both venerating traditions and looking forward. I am interested in what constitutes cultures and most especially how they are celebrated, from honoring traditions to envisaging the future. By focusing on cultural manifestations such as music, dance, festival, and spectacle, as well as symbols, street art, glyphs, costumes, or shrines in a closet, I capture the intangible, visually translating the symbolic connections of what might not be visible at first glance. Placing my photographic practice within the framework of Visual Anthropology, I hope to tell stories by focusing on cultures, traditions and practices which often happen behind the public's view. I capture things that build up to define the cultural milieu and community's regional identities. I look for that ineffable moment of transformation in a ceremony, the traditional song or costume epitomizing regional pride and identity, a symbol representing a culture, these all combine to reflect the culture. I wish to reveal some of the diversity of the spiritual, material, intellectual and emotional landscape of a community. Making the connections among the various manifestations, to show their relationship with each other, and how they interlock, helps to form my view of the culture I am documenting. These displays of culture are significant, to me, in that they represent one of the more profound ways that humans can express themselves." And I think all of that comes through in his work. Join documentary photographer Jason Gardner and me as we talk about his "Visual Anthropology", and as we dissect one of the images from his travels documenting the ritual and festival of Carnival throughout 15 countries, on this Behind the Shot.

I'm here with the Vice President of North American Sales for Wind Power Lab. Joel Saxon and renewables expert Rosemary Barnes, and this is the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast. Duke Energy has announced an agreement to sell its unregulated utility scale commercial renewables business to Brookfield Renewable for approximately 2.8 billion. Joel, that's a nice tidy amount. Brook Brookfield Renewable, uh, is one of the world's largest owners in operators of renewable power, and we'll acquire the business including about 3.4 gigawatts of a utility scale, solar, wind, and battery storage across the United States. Duke Energy, obviously Will, will book a profit of about 1.1 billion before this whole thing is settled. So I think it works out for both sides. Joel.

The All Local 4pm update for February 7, 2023
In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Jeremy Savlov. Jeremy is a young, goals-driven professional. An important objective of his is to buy a home. To achieve this desire sooner, Jeremy decided to live with his parents to save money on expensive rent. By living in the suburbs, he's intentionally sacrificing some of his social life, and rather than splurge in his twenties, he's focused on saving money for his very own home. As Jeremy shares, it's very hard to think ahead and do something for your future self when your current self is a little bored or frustrated. From a young age, Jeremy was very outgoing and curious. As he grew up, his parents supported him to explore and develop his values. Starting at age 13, he tried out different jobs including working at a restaurant, babysitting, and volunteering as a summer camp counselor for homeless preschoolers. Throughout high school he played soccer and track competitively. From these and other experiences, Jeremy developed his core values: effective communication, compassion, integrity, respect, curiosity/open mindedness, self-improvement, and humor. Jeremy attended Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, NJ where he continued to compete in track and graduated with a Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering in May 2021. While at Stevens, Jeremy took on three engineering-related cooperative work experiences: Con Edison (public utility), New Line Structures (construction management), Amazon (operational efficiency). Since graduating, Jeremy works as a Consultant Engineer for FM Global, a worldwide property insurance carrier. He consults with clients to assess and help them understand a variety of hazards that may pose a threat to both their physical facilities and the continuity of their business operations. He also collaborates with clients to find cost-effective solutions to mitigate these risks. In mid-2021, Jeremy began volunteering for his hometown fire department in Monmouth Junction, NJ. This was something Jeremy wanted to pursue at a younger age, but he never had time to attend the fire academy while in college. The knowledge he gains from being a volunteer firefighter overlaps with and improves his understanding of assessing risk with clients he works with at FM Global, and vice versa. Jeremy believes the values he has prioritized will help him to continuously grow professionally and personally throughout his life. Jeremy loves seeking new experiences which enable him to ask questions, learn and apply his new knowledge to other parts of his life. In his free time, Jeremy enjoys playing soccer, riding his motorcycle and setting aside quality time to spend with family and friends. See all episodes >

Host Bill Ringle's mission with this show is to provide the strategies, insights, and resources that will unlock the growth potential of your business through these powerful conversations. Interview Insights Top 3 Takeaways If we are data literate, we can read data faster, interpret them better, and be quicker in making decisions and providing solutions. The goal of data visualization is to provide the most significant degree of understanding in the least amount of effort. It spares us from cognitive overload because it is easier to understand what we can quickly see. Collaboration is about creating something far more significant than you can make independently. Read the Show Notes from this Episode Steve talks about his fourth-grade teacher, Mario Messi, who developed his love of reading. He is part of Steve's pursuit of data literacy. [01:45]How do the best leaders create the best conditions that allow their people to be their best and perform at their best and make sure to celebrate it. [04:29]Recognizing good work is not about physical rewards, like a plaque, but a genuine understanding of your people's contributions. [05:18]The Big Picture and The Big Book of Dashboards are geared toward data visualization practitioners. Steve talks about his fear in writing about this topic of serving some things that experts may already know about. [06:07]People tend to cling to their old tools, like spreadsheets, even if they are not as effectively reporting data as data visualization. Steve encourages us not to fear being a beginner again and embrace data literacy. [08:19]How to know if you are data literate. [10:16]Why do we see so many bar charts? [11:43]Data visualization versus storytelling: How to go from being just data literate to be able to use data to tell a story or make decisions. [14:27]The four components of setting the stage for effective data visualization: 1. Somebody needs to know the data. 2. somebody has to know the tool. 3. Have stakeholders help steer decision-making. 4. Be able to iterate quickly as you get feedback from others.[16:00]Steve shared his experience as one of the many people making graphs for Seth Godin's upcoming book, The Carbon Almanac. [21:15]Chapter eight of the book talks about Charle Menard's chart, which is considered the Monalisa of data visualization, and the problems that Steve finds in it.

In June 2011, a Con Edison truck was parked outside of Hector Monsegur's New York apartment, every day for over a week. But Hector - better known as Sabu, the ringleader of the LulzSec hacking group -wasn't fooled: he guessed, correctly, that the FBI was on to him. But it turned out that of all the people who broke or disregarded the law in this particular story, only one man had a reason to worried: Jeremy Hammond.
