Also, power generators will have to meet certain requirements to keep their place in the queue, including a financial deposit. Deadlines and penalties for transmission providers: Transmission providers will have strict deadlines to to respond to power generators waiting in the queue, and will face penalties if they miss those deadlines. Also, power generators will be able to add a source of power to a single interconnection request. It can be so expensive to build new transmission, sometimes power generators can't afford the cost and have to cancel their power generation plans completely. Also, power generators wait for an average of five years in these queues because grid operators are flooded with interconnection queue applications.

The "crypto couple" Ilya Lichtenstein and Heather Morgan are due for a plea hearing on August 3. The couple is expected to plead guilty to orchestrating a $4.5 billion bitcoin-laundering scheme. An attorney for both Lichtenstein and Morgan did not respond to Insider's request for comment ahead of Thursday's plea hearing. Prosecutors also alleged that Lichtenstein and Morgan had been planning to flee to Russia under new identities. Lichtenstein, whom prosecutors have described as a flight risk due to his Russian citizenship, has remained incarcerated.

☆ While Western states fight tooth-and-nail over the shrinking the Colorado River, Arizona has let water flow freely — in part to feed cows in Saudi Arabia
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-18 | by ( Kelsey Vlamis | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

Western states that rely on the shrinking Colorado River have struggled for years to agree to cuts. Arizona was among the states that came to an agreement in May and has asked residents to cut back. The Washington Post found Arizona has let a Saudi firm pump water unchecked for years. But since 2015, Arizona has let a Saudi Arabian firm use water largely unchecked. While the extent of water usage by a Saudi company for alfalfa exports has sparked controversy in Arizona, others have pointed out that the state's water problems go well beyond that.

☆ Prosecutors are 'sending a message' by asking for harsher sentences for Oath Keepers defendants: DOJ official
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-13 | by ( Natalie Musumeci | Sonam Sheth | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

The DOJ wants harsher sentences for eight Oath Keepers members convicted over the Capitol riot. One department official told Insider the DOJ is "really sending a message" by appealing the 8 defendants' sentences. "It's very unusual for DOJ to appeal, but these are unusual cases and unusual times," said the Justice Department official, who requested anonymity to speak about the cases. The DOJ appeal filing didn't include details laying out prosecutors' reasoning; the department official told Insider those details will be laid out in court later. "Typical DOJ, they got their pound of flesh and still want more," Moerschel's lawyer Scott Weinberg told Insider.

A lawyer for a convicted Oath Keeper slammed the DOJ for appealing his client's sentence. Prosecutors requested a 10-year sentence for David Moerschel; he was ultimately sentenced to three. "I wish they would channel their inner Elsa and just let it go." "Typical DOJ, they got their pound of flesh and still want more," Scott Weinberg, who represents David Moerschel, told Insider. The defendants whose sentences the DOJ appealed are Moerschel, Oath Keepers founder Elmer Stewart Rhodes, Kelly Meggs, Kenneth Harrelson, Jessica Watkins, Roberto Minuta, Joseph Hackett, and Edward Vallejo.

Former US President Donald Trump arrives to deliver remarks at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in Bedminster, New Jersey, on June 13, 2023. That sort of comment is further than where many of Trump's rivals for the GOP presidential nomination will go publicly. Still, even out in the open, there are indications that they believe this federal indictment is far more serious than the last one. But the Trump indictment took over, with participants expressing deep concern about backlash and the party's fracturing beyond repair. On one hand, if Trump's GOP rivals blast him, they risk further alienating his committed GOP supporters.

"For the first time, tax-exempt entities will be able to receive a payment equal to the full value of the tax credit for building qualifying clean energy projects," Podesta said. "That's a game-changer for our ability to spread the benefits of clean energy to every community in America." "The Inflation Reduction Act's biggest tools are tax credits, which provide an unprecedent 10 years of policy certainty for the clean energy sector," Podesta said. Conventionally, states, territories, tribes, local governments and nonprofits have not been not eligible for tax credits, because they do not derive profits from which to deduct the value of a tax credit. Taken together, the two bits of guidance stand to grease the flywheel of climate tech investment already being spurred by the Inflation Reduction Act.

☆ Opinion: Trump backers are going bonkers with dangerous threats

No one will be above the law.”That’s what then-candidate Donald Trump said at a campaign rally in August of 2016. Trump has reached for apocalyptic rhetoric, calling for his supporters to protest at the Florida courthouse when he is arraigned on Tuesday. The threats of violence reflect an authoritarian impulse completely at odds with the alleged principles of the Republican Party and the conservative movement. Here’s the key difference: Trump was not charged for having the classified documents but for willfully trying to hide the documents after the feds enquired. When facts and reason no longer apply, desperate individuals resort to threats of violence.

Two of Donald Trump's lawyers have stepped down. They'll no longer represent him in the Mar-a-Lago documents case and the Jan. 6 investigation, per CBS. Trump announced he's being indicted on federal charges over his handling of classified documents. Trump confirmed the two lawyers had departed on his Truth Social page on Friday morning, thanking them for their work. The Justice Department has been investigating Trump over classified documents that were found at his Mar-a-Lago property during an FBI search last summer.

Donald Trump was a big fan of Hillary Clinton's lawyer, prosecutors say. As prosecutors investigated his stashing of classified documents, Trump marveled how Clinton stayed out of trouble, the feds allege. Trump praised the lawyer in private, saying he "did a good job" deleting her emails. Trump praised Clinton's lawyer last year for deleting some of her email messages, marveling at how she stayed out of trouble, according to a stunning indictment from federal prosecutors. "And he was great... so she didn't get in any trouble," Trump said, according to the court filing.

Donald Trump knew he wasn't supposed to share classified docs, prosecutors allege in an indictment. But he showed off a classified battle plan after he was president, saying "Look what I found," feds allege. He also showed a classified map to a member of his political team at Mar-A-Lago, the indictment says. Look, look at this." Trump also claimed — as his lawyers have in previous media interviews — that he always had the ability to declassify documents.

On Friday, officials unsealed the newest indictment against former president Donald Trump. The indictment includes numerous photos of classified documents stored at Mar-a-Lago. The federal charges — 37 counts in all — relate to Trump's handling of classified material. Prosecutors allege that Trump broke the law when he removed highly sensitive material from the White House and took it to Mar-a-Lago. This stash allegedly included "hundreds of classified documents" from agencies including the CIA, NSA, and the Department of Justice.

☆ Fact check: Seven of Trump’s false or unsupported claims on the documents investigation

Here is a fact check of seven of the claims Trump has made about the investigation since the FBI raided his Mar-a-Lago resort and residence in August 2022. The Presidential Records Act says that, the moment a president leaves office, NARA gets custody and control of all presidential records from his administration. Bush all took millions of documents; he repeated the claim that Obama took documents at the CNN town hall in May. In Trump’s case, the presidential documents found in haphazard amateur storage at Mar-a-Lago, including documents marked classified, were in Trump’s possession despite numerous attempts by both NARA and the Justice Department to get them back. The claim that Biden has been “totally uncooperative” with the investigation into his handling of official documents is transparently false.

The Department of Justice indicted former President Donald Trump in the Mar-a-Lago records case. With the indictment, Trump became the first current or former president in American history to face federal criminal charges. Prior to Trump's indictment, federal prosecutors told his attorneys in early June that he was a target of the investigation. In September, he said there would be "problems" like "we've never seen" before in the event of his criminal indictment.

OTTAWA, June 1 (Reuters) - The Canadian government is backing up to C$3 billion ($2.24 billion) in loans for Trans Mountain Corp (TMC), the crown corporation building an over-budget and long-delayed oil pipeline expansion to Canada's Pacific Coast. Last year Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government, which bought the Trans Mountain pipeline in 2018 to ensure the expansion project got built, provided a C$10 billion loan guarantee to TMC. The Trans Mountain Expansion will nearly triple the flow of crude from Alberta's oil sands to Burnaby, British Columbia, to 890,000 barrels per day and is intended to boost access to Asian refining markets. Finance Ministry spokeswoman Marie-France Faucher said the loan guarantee was "common practice" and did not reflect any new public spending. TMC is paying a fee to the government for the loan guarantee, she said.

Montana is the first US state to ban TikTok, as US lawmakers discuss a federal ban. US lawmakers have been talking about a possible TikTok ban over its ties to China. Montana's law suggests a federal ban would be hard to enforce — and might not solve anything. Last week, Montana became the first US state to ban TikTok — and the rule's implementation could show just how hard it would be to enact a federal ban. Montana's TikTok ban is hard to enforce from a tech standpointWhile the ACLU and other civil rights groups are questioning the legality of Montana's TikTok ban, even if it did stand up to a court challenge, it's hard to actually enforce.
