Temperatures have fallen below zero in much of the UK this week, just as gas and electricity prices rose. From New Year's Day the price cap set by the regulator Ofgem on every unit of power we use will mean the price for heating, washing and cooking for a typical household will rise by just over one per cent. A typical bill will go up £21 a year to £1,738. But, that is in fact 10% or £190 lower than the price cap set a year ago. How are people coping with costs this winter?From New Year's Day the fees private schools charge parents will be subject to VAT at 20%. Previously private school fees were exempt. The Independent Schools' Bursars Association has told Money Box that schools are raising fees from this term by between 13% and 18%, though some are absorbing the whole cost while others pass on the full amount raising fees by 20%. What impact will that have on schools and parents? The Treasury says pupils numbers at independent schools have remained steady since 2000, despite fees increasing by around 75% in real terms since then. We'll speak to Rudolf Eliott Lockhart - CEO of the Independent Schools Association.From 1st January catching the bus could cost you 50% more. Single fares in England which had been capped at £2 have risen by a pound to a maximum of £3. What impact will that have on passengers?And 'tis the season to be - taking things back.

In this episode of the How to Protect the Ocean podcast, host Angelo interviews Mark Zacharias, the Executive Director of Clean Energy Canada. The discussion centers around a rebuttal to an article published by the Fraser Institute, which claimed that renewable energy is going to be significantly more expensive than anticipated. Mark Zacharias addresses three main arguments presented in the Fraser Institute article: Renewable Energy Costs: The article suggests that renewable energy drives up costs and is intermittent, making electricity grids less reliable. Mark counters this by highlighting examples from jurisdictions like South Australia and Iowa, where the transition to renewable energy has led to lower electricity costs. He notes that in Alberta, recent renewable energy procurements have resulted in power bids as low as $0.05 per kilowatt hour, significantly cheaper than the retail electricity rates. Impact of Climate Policies on the Grid: The article argues that climate policies, such as EV sales mandates and natural gas bans, will overwhelm the electricity grid. Mark refutes this by explaining that EVs have a minimal impact on grid demand and can even contribute to grid stability through vehicle-to-grid technologies. He also emphasizes the efficiency of heat pumps compared to traditional heating methods, which can lead to overall energy savings. Electricity Imports and Structural Deficits: The article claims that Canada's reliance on electricity imports indicates a structural deficit. Mark clarifies that while British Columbia has imported power during droughts, this practice allows for strategic management of resources and has resulted in significant profits from power trading. He argues that imports can be beneficial and do not signify a failure of the grid. Throughout the conversation, Mark emphasizes the importance of updated information and the need to move beyond outdated narratives about renewable energy. He advocates for a future where clean energy is not only viable but also economically advantageous, countering the misconceptions perpetuated by the Fraser Institute's article.

We're living hand to mouth and having to borrow money from friends to pay the electric bills." These are the words of a woman who runs a textile firm in Pakistan. The Pakistan Textile Council has written to the government, warning that the country faces an energy crisis that could force manufacturing companies to shut down. Sam Fenwick is joined by a California wildfire expert who has been at the forefront of modelling high-risk areas for years.

A recent Cisco AI Readiness Index reveals a significant gap between the urgency for AI implementation and the actual capabilities of organizations. Despite 98% of surveyed business leaders feeling pressure to deploy AI, only 13% are fully prepared, and a mere 21% have the necessary graphics processing units to handle current and future AI workloads. The receptiveness of boards to AI has also declined, indicating a growing trust and understanding gap that CIOs and IT leaders must address.The episode highlights the concerns of employees regarding AI adoption in the workplace. While 60% of firms claim to use AI tools, many workers report infrequent usage and express worries about data security and job displacement. A survey shows that only 27% of employees receive training on AI tools from their employers, leading to a reliance on self-education. This lack of structured training could hinder the effective integration of AI technologies, emphasizing the need for businesses to invest in comprehensive training programs to build confidence and competence among their workforce.Sobel also addresses the rising energy demands driven by AI, particularly affecting small businesses. Research indicates that electricity bills for small firms in the U.S. could increase by up to 70% due to the surging energy needs of data centers. This trend poses a significant threat to smaller enterprises, which may struggle to absorb these costs. The episode underscores the importance of IT firms positioning themselves as partners to small businesses by offering energy-efficient solutions and cost optimization tools to navigate these challenges.Finally, the episode explores recent advancements in AI technology, including updates from Anthropic and a new startup, Age. Anthropic has enhanced its AI chatbot, allowing users to select different writing styles, while Age focuses on quality assurance and process automation with its new product, Runner H. However, concerns about the reliability of AI tools persist, particularly regarding citation accuracy in OpenAI's ChatGPT. The discussion emphasizes the need for businesses to balance AI adoption with a strong focus on reliability, transparency, and ethical considerations to ensure long-term value and trust in AI technologies.Three things to know today00:00 Businesses Struggle with AI Adoption: Training Gaps, Board Doubts, and Workforce Concerns Persist05:12 AI-Driven Energy Demands Threaten Small Business Survival Amid Rising Electricity Costs07:53 Anthropic and Paris Startup H Expand AI Horizons with New Features and Targeted Models  Supported by:  https://www.coreview.com/msphttps://www.huntress.com/mspradio/   All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

—Here are 3 big things you need to know—   One — Donald Trump is nominating TV's Doctor Oz to lead the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.  CMS oversees Medicare, Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program, and Healthcare-dot-gov, which currently provide coverage to nearly 50-percent of Americans. Two ---- President Biden has approved sending antipersonnel landmines to Ukraine in its war against Russia.  Multiple reports said Tuesday that the U.S. expects Ukraine to use the mines in its own territory in a region where Russian troops have made significant advances.   And number three — Most U.S. households will spend about the same or less on energy this winter, but some states may face higher costs due to colder weather. According to the Energy Information Administration, states like Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Illinois, and Kansas might see natural gas bills rise by 10 to 15 dollars per month. Electric heating may see a 2-percent increase, while natural gas prices will vary, with some areas dropping and others, like the Midwest, expected to rise by 11-percent.

U.K. inflation rose to 2.3% year-over-year in October, above the Bank of England's target of 2%. The increase resulted from higher energy costs and persistent inflation in the services sector, which comprises about 80% of the economy. Following this rise, the Bank of England raised its main interest rate to 4.75%, marking the second increase in three months. Bank Governor Andrew Bailey noted that rates are unlikely to decrease soon, influenced by new budgetary measures from the Labour government. These measures may lead businesses to raise prices, sustaining inflation into the next year. Global inflation remains unpredictable due to geopolitical tensions and economic policies, including potential tax cuts and tariffs planned by U.S. President Donald Trump. Central banks globally have increased borrowing costs since the pandemic began, responding to supply chain disruptions and rising energy prices.Learn more on this news visit us at: https://greyjournal.net/ Hosted on Acast.

One party in DC blames the White House for high energy costs while the other side blames “Big Oil.” Who is right? Every time oil / gasoline prices spike, we hear cries of oil company “greed.” (Does this mean they are not greedy when prices are low? Does corporate greed fluctuate?) Jacki gives questions to prompt critical thinking in the minds of those who view the commodities markets as a drama (an episode of “Dallas”?) rather than a function of supply and demand.   Follow Jacki: X: @JackiDailyHost TruthSocial: JackiDaily Rumble: TheJackiDailyShow YouTube: TheJackiDailyShow Instagram: JackiDaily Facebook: The Jacki Daily Show

As the winter months approach, keeping energy costs down becomes a priority for both renters & homeowners. Martin Desmond, Managing Director at Cork-based Wizer Energy has shared some key insights and practical tips that residents can apply to lower their energy bills as temperatures dip. Renters - What Can You Do? Renters often feel limited in how much they can influence their energy bills, particularly in older buildings. However, there are several small but effective changes renters can make to lower energy usage and in turn, their bills. "There are a lot of people renting in this country and they may be living in older, more energy-inefficient buildings which mean things can be pretty precarious as the temperatures drop and the days become shorter, the good news is there are a few things you can do to save some money and offset any big bills that may be racked up," said Desmond. Heating The Space Correctly "Heating is one of the biggest costs in winter, but small adjustments can make a big impact. If you can lower your thermostat by just one degree you can reduce your heating bill by up to 10% annually. This means savings of around €150 to €200 a year depending on the size of your rental property," explains Desmond. He continues, "If you're in a position to do so, you can also talk to your landlords about really simple energy efficiency improvements. Installing draught excluders or asking for thicker curtains can reduce heat loss significantly. If you're paying for heat, these steps can lead to another 5-8% savings on bills. It's something so small but it makes a huge difference - Also you'll see in a lot of older properties that there'll be significant issues with damp, if you get some thicker curtains in and pair them up with a draught excluder, you're seriously mitigating the risk of mould growth by reducing the amount of condensation that may form on walls and windows." Appliances - Fridges, Washing Machines & What to Do Be energy efficient with appliances. Renters often assume there's little they can do, but there are plenty of small tricks that can have a big impact. Martin advises, "Fridges and freezers mostly account for 10-20% of energy bills. Here's the interesting part, these machines actually work more efficiently when they're full, so by keeping them well stocked you'll ensure proper air circulation, which can reduce their energy usage by up to 10%. If you have something to defrost, let it do so in the fridge overnight - it lowers the fridge's temperature, reducing its workload." Washer and Dryers "Washing at lower temperatures is another great tip. Setting your washing machine to 30 degrees instead of 40 can save up to 40% on energy use per load. Similarly, avoid using the dryer unless necessary - dry clothes on a clothes horse instead. Electricity costs have soared in recent years and the dryer can be a massive drain on your pocket, to dry an average load of clothes you could be looking at costs as high as €2 depending on the age & energy rating of your unit, so try and dry them elsewhere if you can." Lighting - LEDs the Way to Go Lighting is often overlooked, but switching to energy-efficient LED bulbs can reduce lighting costs by 75%. "It's a small investment with big returns. Energy-efficient bulbs can reduce annual electricity bills by as much as €50 for an average rental property, so don't miss out!" Smart usage of cooking appliances is another key strategy. "Use your microwave, air fryer, or even a slow cooker instead of the oven, whenever possible," suggests Martin, "These appliances use significantly less energy and are often more convenient for a busy renter." Shop Around! Many renters aren't aware they can switch energy suppliers. "If you're renting a property and paying for your electricity and gas, you're entitled to switch providers. Doing so could save you up to €300 a year" advises Martin - Smart meters and energy monitors can also help. "Installing a monitor is a simple way to track usage ...

Tips for Tasmanian farmers to save money on energy costs on farm

Temperatures are back in the upper 90s this week. Programs offered by the Community Action Agency of Butte County can help make homes more energy efficient and reduce energy costs. Also, Plumas County supervisors voted to fund two public electric vehicle charging stations at their last meeting, and fares will be waived for bus riders in Butte County next Wednesday.

Energy costs across the U.S. “would probably go down substantially” if the U.S. sharply increased mining and production of Alaska's natural resources, according to Adam Crum, commissioner for the Alaska Department of Revenue.  Geographically, Alaska is by far the largest U.S. state at more than 663,000 square miles. It is also among the most natural resource-dense states in the nation.  Alaska became a state in 1959, and under its Statehood Act, it is “mandated that the mineral resources and the subsurface rights were collectivized by the state so that the state could actually collect the royalties and production taxes off of that to fund the government,” Crum explains on “The Daily Signal Podcast.” While other states, such as Texas and North Dakota, can have “individual farmers who actually have mineral rights, nobody has that in Alaska,” he said, explaining that his state was “set up to be a resource-development state since inception.”  One of the world's largest zinc and lead mines can be found in northwest Alaska and has now “been producing for over 40 years and has provided very extensive jobs,” according to Crum.  The mine has allowed the local indigenous population in northern Alaska to “not only have an economy to stay there, but you have this town now, it's about 4,000, 5,000 people of primarily Inupiat Eskimos living up there. They get to benefit from this, and they can still get to live a subsistence lifestyle,” Crum explains.  Asked about the environmental effects of mining and drilling in Alaska, the revenue commissioner said life expectancy has increased in native communities where natural resources are being extracted as industry has strengthened local economies and increased the quality of life.  Crum joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss the vast natural resources Alaska has to offer.  Alaska House of Representatives Speaker Cathy Tilton joins the show after the conversation with Crum to discuss the greatest challenges facing America's most northern state, and to share some of Alaska's best-kept secrets.  Enjoy the show!
