Analysis: Is this the clearest proof yet Musk wants to get involved in UK politics? The world's disruptor-in-chief, Elon Musk, meets the UK's political disruptor-in- chief, Nigel Farage. And subsequently, Reform UK publishes news-making, cor blimey, take-a-look-at-this photos. But they are more than that, for they are the most clear-cut proof yet of the richest man in the world's desire to get involved in – meddle in, as some see it – British politics. There is another way of describing the pictures of three men at Donald Trump's pad, Mar-a-Lago, in Florida: two billionaires and Farage Farage had one mega rich man alongside him when meeting someone even richer. Reform UK's new Treasurer is Nick Candy, a billionaire property developer who used to donate to the Conservatives and who, incidentally, is married to the former pop star Holly Valance. But Candy is a pauper compared with Musk, the serial entrepreneurial disruptor in business with his rockets, electric cars and social media platform, now doing the same in politics. Farage is the master of political storytelling freighted with an intrigue that keeps people interested. This time it was all about eye-catching imagery and a teasing but not exactly straight answer about a donation. Money was discussed, we are not told how much, we don't know for certain if it'll ever happen and if it does what it will amount to, but the next chapter was trailed – Trump's inauguration next month, which Farage will be attending. The Reform UK leader, now back from Florida, told me the suggestion Musk might give his party $100m (£78m) was wildly over the top. But a number much smaller than that could still be very big, and game-changing for Reform's prospects. The question is whether it would be legal – and whether it would be seen as legitimate. The All Party Parliamentary Group on Fair Elections says it wouldn't and wants the law changed. Downing Street says the government has committed to strengthening the rules, which currently allow donations from UK registered companies The danger for the government is any change in the law might look like self-interest and changing the rules of the game half way through. But never before have we seen a man as rich, with a megaphone as large, so enthused about strutting the political stage – abroad as well as at home. That poses profound questions about how much influence and from where is judged to be too much influence from too far away And here is a thought experiment for you: is your own instinct in how you answer those questions driven primarily by what you think of Farage and Musk, or about the principle of foreign donations? The former Conservative MP Miriam Cates wrote on X: "Now imagine…a picture of Bill Gates with Keir Starmer, pledging support for the Labour Party. You are either for or against foreign interference in British politics. It can't just depend on whether you agree with or like the individual billionaire concerned." Farage will be back across the Atlantic in a few weeks to toast Trump's return to the White House. On this latest visit he also managed a photo with the US Vice President Elect, JD Vance. The Reform UK leader has friends in high places and friends with deep pockets. Little wonder he is causing Labour, the Conservatives and others to fret about the political threat they fear he increasingly poses to them.

AI Failures Will Spike In 2025: A Call For Decentralization Innovation As we enter 2025, it's clear the AI industry is on the brink of explosive growth—but also a moment of truth. The race to dominate AI is heating up, driven by geopolitical rivalries , billions in government funding , and a relentless push for the next breakthrough. With all this exponential momentum, we have to be prudent: The abuse of AI technology in an overly centralized manner could lead to its downfall, and the integration with blockchain technology and crypto can be a trustworthy response to that. The Great AI Divide: The Race for Global Influence in the Digital Age The AI race isn't just a corporate endeavor; it's a matter of national strategy. The United States, recognizing AI's strategic importance, has already imposed strict export controls on advanced technologies to countries like China. This has forced China to double down on domestic innovation, with state-backed investments pouring into firms like Huawei to develop homegrown alternatives to NVIDIA's AI chipsets. China will likely scale up its AI efforts in 2025, treating it as a cornerstone of national competitiveness. Similarly, in the U.S., the AI industry will see a surge in private capital, federal funding, and corporate R&D initiatives. AI will also play a central role in other key sectors like electric vehicles (EVs), defense technology, biotechnology, aerospace, and aviation, which are already caught in the geopolitical crossfire of tariffs and trade wars. This escalating competition may lead to breathtaking advancements in AI capabilities. However, it will also create conditions ripe for an unsustainable bubble. The Bubble of 2025: A Dot-Com Déjà Vu ? Parallels to the late 1990s dot-com bubble are on the horizon. A flood of capital and overambitious promises are setting the stage for overinvestment and inevitable failures. As new AI startups emerge and established companies pivot to capitalize on the trend, we'll likely see a wave of poorly conceived projects—hastily designed technologies that fail to deliver on their promises. AI failures in 2025 will stem from a lack of focus on real-world applicability and long-term value creation. Startups chasing the "next big thing" will often prioritize hype over substance, leading to a proliferation of tools and platforms that are either redundant or untrustworthy. This lack of trust is particularly troubling in consumer-facing AI products. Consider the development of AI-powered personal assistant robots for homes. While the prospect of such technology might feel futuristic, many consumers are hesitant to adopt it without robust assurances about safety, privacy, and ethical safeguards. How Blockchain and Decentralization Can Help One of the most pressing challenges in AI is the "black box" dilemma, where AI decisions are opaque and difficult to audit. Blockchain's immutable and transparent ledger provides a powerful solution by recording every stage of the AI lifecycle, from data collection and training to deployment decisions. This ensures that systems remain auditable and trustworthy. By integrating blockchain into AI development, we can ensure transparency, enforce ethical guidelines, and prevent monopolistic control—aligning the AI industry with the principles of trust, decentralization, and human benefit. We name this effort “decentralized AI ”. 2025 will be a pivotal year for AI in general and decentralized AI. It will bring groundbreaking advancements, record-breaking investments, and, unfortunately, a slew of failures. But if the industry can use these challenges as an opportunity to recalibrate, it might emerge stronger, more focused, and more aligned with humanity's needs. This is a moment for all of us—investors, technologists, regulators, and consumers—to think deeply about the role AI should play in our lives. It's not just about what we can build; it's about why we build it. By fostering a culture of purposeful innovation and ethical responsibility, we can ensure that AI serves as a force for good, not just in 2025 but for future generations.

Trends of Drone Technology The advances in drone technology have changed every aspect of daily life. Be it for individuals as for industries. Drones use, ranges from domestic use to industrial use. The recent evolution and innovation in drone technology make it evident that there are still greater that can be done with drones. Drones ranges in variety of sizes, from phone size drones called selfie drones use to take pictures to taxi size drones used for transportation of people. Drones application sectors include agriculture, mining, animals and forestry preservation, insurance, products delivery, most evidently security and much more. Many companies have positioned themselves already are major producers of drones for diverse sectors, such as DJI, airware, UASUSA, and DroneAfrica (a startup producing drones in Cameroon). The usage and sales of drones has open wide markets even more rewarding ones than the sales of drones. That’s the training around the use of professional drones in their respective sectors of application and also the market of alternative gadgets associated with drones. Multiple gadgets can transform domestic drones into highly sophisticated drones. For example, multi-spectral cameras build for drones provides extensive details of pictures and videos, artificial feathers lets drones morph their wings like birds, airbrake enabling drones to occupied as much as 60% lesser space than what was initially estimated. The Drone market in Africa is value at 84 million dollars, and for sure the major market share goes to drone related services. The evolution in drone technology and the service around it will greatly impact the economical market structure in Africa and the world at large.

< Back In Michigan and Wisconsin, cities are finding rooftops alone may not achieve solar energy goals Curated By Renewable Energy World 12 Dec 2024 A new contract between Kalamazoo, Michigan, and utility Consumers Energy signals a change in direction for the city’s clean energy strategy as it seeks to become carbon neutral by 2040. Solar was seen as a pillar of the city’s plans when it declared a climate emergency in 2019 and set a goal of zeroing out carbon emissions by 2040. After spending years exploring its options, though, the Michigan city is tempering a vision for rooftop solar in favor of large, more distant solar projects built and owned by the utility. It’s not alone either, with Grand Rapids, Milwaukee, Muskegon and other cities taking a similar approach. “Folks want to see solar panels on parking lots and buildings, but there’s no way as a city we can accomplish our net-zero buildings just putting solar panels on a roof,” said Justin Gish, Kalamazoo’s sustainability planner. “Working with the utility seemed to make the most sense.” Initially there was skepticism, Gish said — “environmentalists tend to not trust utilities and large corporate entities” — but the math just didn’t work out for going it alone with rooftop solar. The city’s largest power user, the wastewater treatment pumping station, has a roof of only 225 square feet. Kalamazoo’s largest city-owned roof, at the public service station, is 26,000 square feet. Spending an estimated $750,000 to cover that with solar would only provide 14% of the power the city uses annually — a financial “non-starter,” he said. So the city decided to partner with Consumers Energy, joining a solar subscription program wherein Kalamazoo will tell Consumers how much solar energy it wants, starting in 2028, and the utility will use funds from its subscription fee to construct new solar farms, like a 250 MW project Consumers is building in Muskegon . Under the 20-year contract, Kalamazoo will pay a set rate of 15.8 cents per kWh — 6.4 cents more than what it currently pays — for 43 million kWh of solar power per year. If electricity market rates rise, the city will save money, and Kalamazoo receives Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) to help meet its energy goals. The subscription is expected to eliminate about 80% of Kalamazoo’s emissions from electricity, Gish said. The electricity used to power streetlights and traffic signals couldn’t be covered since it is not metered. As the city acquires more electric vehicles — it currently has two — electricity demand may increase, but city leaders hope to offset any increases by improving energy efficiency of city buildings. Consumers Energy spokesperson Matt Johnson said the company relies “in part” on funds from customers specifically to build solar, and considers it a better deal for cities than building it themselves, “which would be more costly for them, and they have to do their own maintenance.” “We can do it in a more cost-effective way, we maintain it, they’re helping us fund it and do it in the right way, and those benefits get passed on to arguably everybody,” Johnson said. Grand Rapids, Michigan, joined the subscription program at the same time as Kalamazoo. Corporate customers including 7-Eleven, Walmart and General Motors are part of the same Consumers Energy solar subscription program, as is the state of Michigan. Costs and benefits “There’s a growing movement of cities trying to figure out solar — ‘Yes we want to do this, it could save us money over time, but the cost is prohibitive,’” said John Farrell, co-director of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance. Until the Inflation Reduction Act, cities couldn’t directly access federal tax credits. The direct-pay incentives under the IRA have simplified financing, Farrell said, but cities still face other financial and logistical barriers, such as whether they have sufficient rooftop space. Advocates acknowledge deals with utilities may be the most practical way for budget-strapped cities to move the needle on clean energy, but they emphasize that cities should also strive to develop their own solar, and question whether utilities should charge more for clean power that is increasingly a cheaper option than fossil fuels. “Our position is rooftop and distributed generation is best — it’s best for the customers, in this case the cities; it’s best for the grid, because you’re putting those resources directly on the grid where it’s needed most; and it’s best for the planet because it can deploy a lot faster,” said John Delurey, Midwest deputy director of the advocacy group Vote Solar. “I believe customers in general and perhaps cities in particular should exhaust all resources and opportunities for distributed generation before they start to explore utility-scale resources. It’s the lowest hanging fruit and very likely to provide the most bang for their buck.” Utility-scale solar is more cost-effective per kilowatt, but Delurey notes that when a public building is large enough for solar, “you are putting that generation directly on load, you’re consuming onsite. Anything that is concurrent consumption or paired with a battery, you are getting the full retail value of that energy. That is a feature you can’t really beat no matter how good the contract is with some utility-scale projects that are farther away.” Delurey also noted that Michigan law mandates all energy be from clean sources by 2040; and 50% by 2030. That means Consumers needs to be building or buying renewable power, whether or not customers pay extra for it. “So there are diminishing returns [to a subscription deal] at that point,” Delurey said. “You better be getting a price benefit, because the power on their grid would be clean anyways.” “Some folks are asking ‘Why do anything now? Just wait until Consumers cleans up the grid,’” Gish acknowledged. “But our purchase shows we have skin in the game.” A complement to rooftop In 2009, Milwaukee adopted a goal of powering 25% of city operations — excluding waterworks — with solar by 2025. The city’s Climate and Equity Plan adopted in 2023 also enshrined that goal. For a decade, the city has been battling We Energies over Milwaukee’s plan to install rooftop solar on City Hall and other buildings through a third-party owner, Eagle Point Solar. The city sought the arrangement — common in many states — to tap federal tax incentives that a nonprofit public entity couldn’t reap. But We Energies argued that third party ownership would mean Eagle Point would be acting as a utility and infringing on We Energies’ territory. A lawsuit over Milwaukee’s plans with Eagle Point is still pending. In 2018, We Energies launched a pilot solar program in Milwaukee known by critics as “rent a roof,” in which the utility leased rooftop space for its own solar arrays. Advocates and Milwaukee officials opposed the program, arguing that it encouraged the utility to suppress the private market or publicly-owned solar. In 2023, the state Public Service Commission denied the utility’s request to expand the program. Wisconsin Citizens Utility Board opposed the rent-a-roof arrangement since it passed costs they viewed as unfair on to ratepayers. But Wisconsin CUB executive director Tom Content said the city’s current partnership with We Energies is different, since it is just the city, not ratepayers, footing the cost for solar that helps the city meet its goals.Milwaukee is paying about $84,000 extra per year for We Energies to build solar farms on a city landfill near the airport and outside the city limits in the town of Caledonia. The deal includes a requirement that We Energies hire underemployed or unemployed Milwaukee residents. The Caledonia project is nearly complete, and will provide over 11 million kWh of energy annually, “enough to make 57 municipal police stations, fire stations, and health clinics 100% renewable electricity,” said Milwaukee Environmental Collaboration Office director Erick Shambarger. The landfill project is slated to break ground in 2025. The two arrays will total 11 MW and provide enough power for 83 city buildings, including City Hall – where Milwaukee had hoped to do the rooftop array with Eagle Point. Meanwhile Milwaukee is building its own rooftop solar on the Martin Luther King Jr. library and later other public buildings, and Shambarger said they will apply for direct pay tax credits made possible by the Inflation Reduction Act — basically eliminating the need for a third-party agreement. “Utility-scale is the complement to rooftop,” said Shambarger. “They own it and maintain it, we get the RECs. It worked out pretty well. If you think about it from a big picture standpoint, to now have the utility offer a big customer like the city an option to source their power from renewable energy — that didn’t exist five years ago. If you were a big customer in Wisconsin five years ago, you really had no option except for buying RECs from who knows where. We worked hard with them to make sure we could see our renewable energy being built.” We Energies already owns a smaller 2.25 MW solar farm on the same landfill, under a similar arrangement. Building solar on the landfill is less efficient than other types of land, since special mounting is needed to avoid puncturing the landfill’s clay cap, and the panels can’t turn to follow the sun. But Shambarger said the sacrifice is worth it to have solar within the city limits, on land useful for little else. “We do think it’s important to have some of this where people can see it and understand it,” he said. “We also have the workforce requirements, it’s nice to have it close to home for our local workers.” Madison is also pursuing a mix of city-owned distributed solar and utility-scale partnerships. On Earth Day 2024, Madison announced it has installed 2 MW of solar on 38 city rooftops. But a utility-scale solar partnership with utility MGE is also crucial to the goal of 100% clean energy for city operations by 2030. Through MGE’s Renewable Energy Rider program, Madison helped pay for the 8 MW Hermsdorf Solar Fields on a city landfill, with 5 MW devoted to city operations and 3 MW devoted to the school district. The 53-acre project went online in 2022. Farrell said such “all of the above” approaches are ideal. “The lesson we’ve seen generally is the more any entity can directly own the solar project, the more financial benefit you’ll get,” he said. “Ownership comes with privileges, and with risks. “Energy is in addition to a lot of other challenging issues that cities have to work on. The gold standard is solar on a couple public buildings with battery storage, so these are resiliency places if the grid goes down.” This article first appeared on Energy News Network and is republished here under a Creative Commons license.

< Back SIA Commends CHIPS Act Incentives for Coherent Semiconductor Industry Association 18 Dec 2024 SkyWater Technology, X-FAB the following statement from SIA President and CEO John Neuffer applauding CHIPS and Science Act manufacturing SIA Commends CHIPS Act Incentives for Coherent, SkyWater Technology, X-FAB Friday, Dec 06, 2024, 8:00am by Semiconductor Industry Association WASHINGTON—Dec. 6, 2024—The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) today released the following statement from SIA President and CEO John Neuffer applauding CHIPS and Science Act manufacturing investments announced by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Coherent, SkyWater Technology, and X-FAB. The Coherent project in Sherman, TX will expand production of indium phosphide wafers. The SkyWater Technology project in Bloomington, MN will expand mature-node foundry capacity. And the X-FAB project in Lubbock, TX will expand production of silicon carbide wafers. “The CHIPS Act investments announced today will reinforce U.S. supply chains for current-generation and mature-node semiconductors, thereby helping to strengthen America’s economic and national security. We applaud Coherent, SkyWater, and X-FAB for investing ambitiously in the domestic semiconductor ecosystem, and we applaud the Commerce Department for advancing these important incentives.” The CHIPS Act is on track to strengthen American manufacturing, create jobs, boost economic growth, and promote national security. The CHIPS Act’s manufacturing incentives have sparked substantial announced investments in the U.S. In fact, companies in the semiconductor ecosystem have announced 90 new projects across 28 U.S. states—totaling hundreds of billions of dollars in private investments—since the CHIPS Act was introduced. These announced projects will create more than 58,000 jobs in the semiconductor ecosystem and support hundreds of thousands of additional U.S. jobs throughout the U.S. economy. An SIA-Boston Consulting Group report released in May projected the United States will triple its domestic semiconductor manufacturing capacity from 2022—when CHIPS was enacted—to 2032. The projected 203% growth is the largest projected percent increase in the world over that time. The report also projected America will capture over one-quarter (28%) of total global capital expenditures (capex) from 2024-2032. The U.S. Department of Commerce previously announced incentives for a range of companies and projects that will help strengthen the U.S. semiconductor supply chain. Previous Next
