Two other defendants, American Airlines (AAL.O) and Southwest Airlines (LUV.N), previously settled for a respective $45 million and $15 million. Delta and United called their seating capacity reductions a legitimate response to reduced demand, rising fuel prices and the 2008 global financial crisis. Both carriers went through bankruptcy not long before the purported conspiracy began, with United emerging in 2006 and Delta emerging in 2007. United said it was disappointed with the judge's decision, and will seek to have it reconsidered or file an appeal. Payouts will not begin until claims against Delta and United are resolved.

☆ Keep an eye on 'blue' bonds, a little-known income alternative tied to clean water

"Blue" bonds, securities focused on protecting bodies of water, are popping up with increased frequency with the help of nonprofits. Earlier this month, Denmark's renewable energy producer Ørsted said it would become the first energy company to issue blue bonds. But he said there likely won't be more options until there is wider demand for those blue bonds already available. Because of this, he recommends investors look beyond blue bonds to green bonds that have some focus on water issues. The primary investment thesis behind blue bonds, Atkinson said, is understanding the risk of ignoring the need for healthy oceans and clean water.

The company said that the projects were being hit by delays and increased costs on suppliers, like wind turbine component manufacturers and the specialized ships needed to install the large machines, whose blades are as long as football fields. “There is a continuously increasing risk in these suppliers’ ability to deliver on their commitments and contracted schedules,” Orsted said in a statement on Tuesday. The company said that the sharp rise in interests rates would increase costs in the United States. Orsted also said that it might not be able to achieve tax credits from the United States as large as it previously anticipated. The impairments amount to about half of the $4 billion that Orsted said it had invested in its offshore portfolio in the United States but are only a fraction of the value of these projects and the company’s overall American plans.
