'Dems Want Net-Zero... This Is It': Secretary Wright Urges Indian Point Nuclear Plant Restart In a press conference at the shuttered Indian Point site, Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) urged the immediate rebuilding and reopening of the Indian Point nuclear plant , framing it as a practical fix for New York’s self-inflicted energy woes. “ Nuclear power is the cleanest source of energy ,” Wright stated . “The Democrats want to talk about net-zero carbon emissions — this is it. And they have a responsibility. If they are serious about bringing down costs, costs that they drove up, they have a responsibility to work with the administration, work with the local government to bring this back online.” Rep. Lawler was more direct, “Hudson Valley families are being suffocated with rising energy costs because of Governor Hochul’s failed and disastrous energy policies. It is time to reverse course.” The plant’s two reactors were once delivering over 2,000 megawatts of reliable, carbon-free baseload power , supplying about 25% of New York City’s electricity and roughly 10% of the state’s total needs before closing. That output equated to enough electricity for approximately two million homes. Closed in phases (Unit 2 in 2020, Unit 3 in 2021) under a deal cut with then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo over baseless safety and environmental concerns , Indian Point’s departure forced greater reliance on natural-gas plants. The politically-motivated stunt has driven NYC electricity bills nearly 60% above the national average , spiked carbon emissions, and contributed reliability shortfalls amid surging demand from data centers and electrification.

Chicago soybean oil prices futures surged more than 4% at the open, as a spike in energy prices driven by the conflict in the Middle East lifts demand for crops used in biofuel production. Crude oil broke through $100 a barrel on Monday as more major Middle East producers curbed production and the Strait of Hormuz remained all but closed. That is raising prices for vegetable oils and grains used in crop-based fuels. Wheat futures also extended gains, after jumping the most since 2024 on Friday. The war is disrupting flows of fertilizer and pushing up freight costs, lending support across grain markets.

HSBC Holdings, Xiaomi, AIA, Pop Mart International, Tsingtao Brewery and others are among about 650 listed companies that may need to change their trading unit under proposed reforms by bourse operator Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX). Market participants generally support the reform as it would bring Hong Kong’s stock market trading in line with international practices and allow retail investors to more easily trade a wider range of stocks, but they also warn of challenges in implementing the changes. Here is what you need to know about this board lot reform. What is the board lot reform about? HKEX in December issued a consultation paper seeking views until March 12, on what would be its largest-ever reform of trading units, also known as board lots. Advertisement Currently there are 44 lot sizes, ranging from the smallest lot size of 10 shares per lot to the largest at 100,000 shares per lot. The proposed reform would limit lot sizes to eight options – one, 50, 100, 500, 1,000, 2,000, 5,000 and 10,000. HSBC now trades at 400 shares per lot, while Pop Mart, AIA and Xiaomi trade at 200 shares per lot. They are among the 25 per cent of companies that would need to change their trading units under the proposal. Advertisement The reform would also halve the minimum value per lot to HK$1,000 (US$128) and introduce a new maximum value of HK$50,000 per lot. The HK$50,000 threshold is for stocks with more than 100 shares per lot. About 16 companies, including Akeso and Tsingtao Brewery, are above the upper limit.

The incident occurred at the end of the first half of Preussen Munster's 2-1 home defeat by Hertha Berlin in Bundesliga 2. VAR had intervened and referee Felix Bickel was asked to review the incident on a pitchside monitor, but found the screen blank. "A masked spectator from the active fan section illegally entered the pitch and unplugged the technical equipment," Preussen Munster said in a statement., external With Bickel unable to make the call, the decision was left to the VAR official Katrin Rafalski in Cologne, ruling that it was a foul and for Bickel to award a penalty, which Hertha scored. "Preussen Munster regrets the incident and will do everything in its power to identify and bring the perpetrator(s) to justice," the club added, "Furthermore, immediate measures have been taken to prevent similar incidents in the future. Initial findings indicate that this was a planned action - a banner to that effect was displayed in the home section shortly after the technical malfunction." German media reported that a banner reading "Pull the plug on VAR" was displayed.
