No estúdio eixos, ao vivo durante o diálogos da transição na Energy Summit 2026, no Rio, o jornalista André Ramalho recebeu Luiz Fernando Leone Vianna, vice-presidente Institucional e Regulatório do Grupo Delta Energia. O executivo trouxe um balanço dos projetos vencedores no leilão de reserva de capacidade — a ampliação da UTE William Arjona (67 MW) e a Usina Campo Grande (150 MW) — e adiantou que a empresa pretende antecipar a entrega de 2028 para 2027, utilizando equipamentos usados em meio a um mercado de máquinas novas inflacionado e com escassez. Vianna também fez uma análise crítica da crise de liquidez que atinge o setor de comercialização de energia, apontando como principais causas a distorção do PLD em relação à operação real do sistema e a calibragem do mecanismo de aversão ao risco (CVaR, em inglês), que elevou o custo do setor em R$ 3 bilhões para um ganho marginal de apenas 0,3% na segurança dos reservatórios. Ele defendeu que ajustes regulatórios são urgentes para que a abertura do mercado prevista para 2027 não se torne uma "abertura de direito sem efetividade", já que a atratividade do preço e a confiança do consumidor são essenciais para vencer a inércia da migração. ____________________

How a Pacifica Bar Became a Flashpoint for Queer Civil Rights The San Francisco Bay Area is known as one of the most LGBTQ+ friendly areas in the country but it wasn't always this way. Back in 1956, the beachside city of Pacifica was the scene of a police raid at a local bar, known to be friendly to the queer community. Hazel's Inn's owner, Hazel Nikola had her liquor license revoked and was arrested along with 90 of her patrons. As Ana De Almeida Amaral reports for the podcast Bay Curious, the raid would be a blueprint for law enforcement over the next 15 years. ‘Like an Angel': Meet the Helpers Working at Bay Area Immigration Court For decades, San Francisco was home to was Northern California's principal immigration court. Over time, advocates built around it one of the most extensive immigrant-defense networks in the U.S. a web of nonprofit legal organizations, volunteer court companions, rapid-response groups and pro bono attorneys who help immigrants find their way through a system where they're not guaranteed legal representation. But the Trump Administration has closed the court and by the end of this year, thousands of cases are expected to be transferred to Concord, about 30 miles to the northeast, where the immigration court is only a couple of years old and the support infrastructure around it is still developing. Sergio Jaime Lopez knows the importance of building up that network. He once stood in front of an immigration judge himself and is now one of many local advocates who are helping immigrants navigate the changing U.S.  immigration system.  Learn more about your ad choices.
