☆ Oil, Gas Companies Urged to Pursue Relatively Cheap Fix on Emissions
  + stars: | 2023-06-27 | by ( Will Horner | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +5 min
The energy sector accounts for 40% of all human-caused methane emissions, most of which come from oil and gas companies that release it as a byproduct. The Biden administration’s Inflation Reduction Act includes a plan to charge oil and gas companies for methane emissions, as well as almost $1.6 billion to help these businesses emit less methane. The U.S. and the European Union have also spearheaded a pledge, signed at the COP26 summit in 2021, to reduce global methane emissions. The U.S. Methane Emissions Reduction Act Plan includes tighter regulations, increased transparency and incentives including $47 million to fund research into technologies that reduce methane emissions. The investment would enable oil and gas companies to reduce methane emissions by identifying and quickly repairing methane leaks as well as upgrading older infrastructure that is prone to leaking.

☆ The CTO of a climate-tech company shares a 3-part approach to technology that can improve employee recruitment and performance

Consider using standard technology as a recruiting toolReavill said Commons uses standard technology externally, in its consumer-facing applications, but also internally as a means of attracting top talent. Although some CEOs are skeptical about remote work, Reavill believes more tech leaders should embrace it. The main thing stopping companies in the environmental industry from quickly progressing isn't technology, "because we have a lot of powerful technology," Reavill said. "When things get bigger, and things become much more complex, you have to introduce more powerful and, in some ways, more constraining tools," Reavill said. A common sign of internal strain is when training new employees on standard technology tools becomes a burden.

"We started panicking and started connecting with other folks who we know have short-term rentals," Sullivan told Insider. Given the sharp rise of short-term rentals there, some local lawmakers have recently called for amending the law. But short-term rentals are often essential to a healthy tourism economy, particularly in vacation destinations. Investors jumped in to capitalize on the boom, and the market soon became saturated with short-term rentals. There's one thing pretty much everyone can agree on: Short-term rentals are here to stay.

"We started panicking and started connecting with other folks who we know have short-term rentals," Sullivan told Insider. Rather than a collapse of the industry, the increasingly bifurcated state of the market — a bust for some, a boom for others — is a clear sign that we have hit a turning point in the long-running battle over short-term rentals. Given the sharp rise of short-term rentals there, some local lawmakers have recently called for amending the law. Investors jumped in to capitalize on the boom, and the market soon became saturated with short-term rentals. There's one thing pretty much everyone can agree on: Short-term rentals are here to stay.
☆ Kia, Hyundais are easy targets for thieves, insurance data confirms

In fact, 2015-2019 Hyundai and Kia models are roughly twice as likely to be stolen as other vehicles of similar age. Hyundai and Kia operate as separate companies in the United States, but Hyundai Motor Group owns a large stake in Kia and various Hyundai and Kia models share much of their engineering. Some videos posted on TikTok showed allegedly stolen Hyundai and Kia vehicles being driven recklessly and even crashing. HLDI’s estimates of theft frequency are based on the number of a given model on the road and the frequency of vehicle theft claims. Kia pointed out the majority of Kia vehicles in the United States have push-button start systems that make theft more difficult.
