Question: Univision formally announces Vincent Sadusky as CEO

This news article should be represented to find a fitting news title:

Univision Communications Inc. announced on Wednesday that Vincent Sadusky will be its next chief executive officer, taking over the Spanish-language media giant as it grapples with difficult times.
Scroll for more content...
Sadusky is a veteran of the Hispanic-media world, having previously worked for Telemundo, Univision's main rival.
"Vince is distinctly qualified to lead UCI through the next phase of its growth, given his impressive track record of leadership, vision, deep industry experience and relationships," Haim Saban, chairman of Univision's board of directors,said in a statement. "This is a unique moment for UCI, and we believe that we have the right strategy and team in place to execute on the opportunities in front of us. On behalf of the entire Board, we look forward to working with Vince to achieve great success for UCI."
Starting on Friday, Sadusky will take the CEO reins over from Randy Falco, who announced in March that he plans to retire by the end of the year. Falco's announcement came as a surprise because the Univision board had just renewed his contract through 2020 a few months earlier.
"I know it was only a few months after I signed a new two-year deal, but I felt that at age 65 I wanted to end my time as CEO earlier than planned," he said at the time. Falco will stay as an adviser to Univision through the end of the year.
In his statement on Wednesday, Saban praised Falco's eight years with Univision, transforming it "into a modern media organization with a diverse portfolio of assets, sterling brands and content that audiences and marketers want, backed by strong earnings growth, a significantly improved balance sheet and a team of motivated and purpose-driven employees."
In his own statement, Falco said on Wednesday that leading Univision "has been one of the most personally and professionally rewarding experiences of my life."
"So much has changed -- and will continue to change -- in the media landscape but through it all one thing remains true: no other media company serves and supports Hispanic America like UCI, something that is more important than ever in our world today," he said. "I believe wholeheartedly in UCI's mission and vision and am confident that the Company will remain on a path for continued success with Vince leading the way."
Bloomberg was the first to report last week that Univision was planning to name Sadusky as CEO.
Earlier this month, the company announced an 18% drop in first quarter profits from the year before, though it remains a ratings giant.
At around the same time Falco announced his planned retirement, Univision also said it was calling off a long-planned public offering and conducting a review of the business that could lead to cost cuts, the Wall Street Journal reported at the time.
A source with knowledge of the company and its board said that some of the board members were "disappointed" in Falco and tasked him with cutting costs and brought in the Boston Consulting Group to help him do so.
"Slashing and burning," the source said. "They're cutting an enormous amount of money out of the television and digital organization. I've never seen anything like it."
In March, Saban refuted reports that the board was unhappy with Falco, saying that the board "reluctantly agreed to Randy's wishes" to retire early, adding "we could not be more pleased with his performance."
The next question is whether Sadusky will oversee Univision as it considers a possible sale. In his last job as CEO of Media General, Sadusky oversaw the sale of the company to Nexstar Broadcasting Group in 2016.
In a statement on Wednesday, Sadusky said he is "eager" to work with Univision's "talented team to enhance the Company's leadership position and underscore its crucial role as a source of news and information."
"Over the last few months, [Univision] has taken a number of steps to evolve and thrive in today's rapidly changing media environment and I am committed to ensuring the Company is in the best position possible to serve its audiences for decades to come," he said.
The Univision Network is a CNN newsgathering partner.

Lexmark International, Lexington’s iconic maker of printers and a key economic engine here for decades, announced Wednesday morning that its new CEO, David Reeder, has resigned.
“All of the Lexmark family want to thank David Reeder for his impressive efforts as CEO of the company, and as CFO as well,” Mickey Kantor, chairman of the Lexmark Board of Directors, said in a statement. “We wish him and his family the best in the future.”
Reeder was hired as CFO in 2015. He became CEO after the company was sold last year to a Chinese-based consortium.
The news release said Reeder left for “personal reasons” and that a search for a new leader was commencing.
The company said Brock Saladin, senior vice president and chief revenue officer, and Allen Waugerman, senior vice president and chief technology officer, would lead the company in the interim.
David Reeder talked last month with Business Lexington in an exclusive interview: Reeder profile.

Question: Trey Songz arrested for alleged assault

Trey Songz has been arrested for an alleged assault of a woman.
The singer was accused of hitting a woman in the face during the NBA All-Star weekend and is said to have handed himself in, accompanied by his attorney Shawn Holley, to Los Angeles police department on Monday morning (03.19.18).
TMZ reports that Trey Songz was released two hours later after posting a bond of $50,000.
Taking to social media earlier on Monday, he wrote: "For weeks my lawyers & Mgmt have asked me not to comment on this and I initially agreed but this morning I feel that my fam, the women that raised me, my friends & fans especially the youth need to hear from me. I am being lied on and falsely accused for someone's personal gain ... I won?t be speaking too much more on this but would like to thank you for all the prayers and support. ?????? (sic)"
The woman - who had claimed she was "choked and punched" by Trey Songz - had previously been granted a temporary restraining order against him.
The woman's lawyer Lisa Bloom took to Twitter previously: "Update: we obtained the restraining order against Trey Songz this morning. There's no excuse for violence against women. It must stop. It stops when when stand with victims."
Prior to receiving the order, Ms. Bloom said that they had no choice but to seek the restraint because it is an ongoing investigation.
She added: "We took this step today to protect my client's rights to peacefully live and work, and we will continue to fully cooperate with law enforcement's investigation of this serious matter. The room was filled with Mr. Songz's friends and employees. We are asking just one of them with a conscience to reach out to us and tell us what they saw. Don't be a bystander to violence against women."

WASHINGTON | Three women who have previously accused President Donald Trump of sexual harassment shared their stories on NBC’s “Megyn Kelly Today.”
Jessica Leeds, Samantha Holvey and Rachel Crooks on Monday told of alleged harassment by Trump spanning decades.
The White House called the claims false and “totally disputed in most cases.” It said “the timing and absurdity of these false claims speak volumes.”
One of the accusers, Rachel Crooks, called the White House statement “laughable.”
Crooks said of sexual misconduct: “I think politicians seem to be immune to this.”
Holvey described the pain the women felt after Trump’s victory. “We are private citizens and for us to put ourselves out there, to try to show America who this man is, and especially how he views women, for them to say, ‘Meh, we don’t care,’ it hurt.”
The women, who first shared their stories before the November 2016 election, were holding a press conference later Monday to call for a congressional investigation into Trump’s alleged behavior. They cited the recent revelations of sexual misconduct by prominent men in business, media and politics, for their decision to speak out publicly against Trump once again.
“The environment’s different,” Holvey said. “Let’s try again.”

Republican congressman from New York says the Trump administration has been taking strong action against Russia. On 'America's Newsroom,' King reacts to Republican senators calling for a second special counsel.

Question: Nova Scotia punches ticket to Scotties Tournament of Hearts semifinal

Nine consecutive wins for Team Nova Scotia in Penticton at the South Okanagan Events Centre

By Matthew Abrey
Special to the Penticton Western News
Mary-Anne Arsenault and her Nova Scotia rink just keep on winning at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Penticton.
The Dartmouth-based rink brought down Tracy Fleury and Team Northern Ontario by a 6-2 score, winning their staggering ninth match in a row, earning a berth in Sunday’s semifinal.
“It was so nice to put a really good game together,” said Arsenault, who has played in the Scotties 13 times. “I’m so proud of my girls. They played awesome and anytime we were in a little bit of trouble, (they) would make a double and we were back.”
Arsenault blanked the first three ends keeping the hammer for the fourth where she opened the scoring. She managed to expertly draw around the high-sitting guards with her final two stones to lay two, giving her Nova Scotia rink a 2-0 lead going into the fifth end.
Fleury earned one back in the fifth by picking and rolling across the inner blue rings to lay one, cutting Arsenault’s lead to 2-1.
Arsenault fired right back making a pair of tight draws into the inner rings through a cluttered upper house to lay three in the sixth end — extending her lead to 5-1.
Fleury blanked the seventh, then drew to the button in the eighth to cut into Arsenault’s lead. However, her Nova Scotia rink still found themselves down 5-2 heading into the ninth end.
The ninth end featured a jam-up heading into skips’ final shots. Fleury cleared the jam-up with her last stone of the end, but Arsenault hit and stuck her hammer shot to further pad her lead at 6-2.
The teams decided to play the 10th end, even though Arsenault had a sizeable lead, but did not play the entire length. They shook hands with four rocks remaining after Northern Ontario couldn’t keep enough stones in the house to justify finishing the end.
“We would have liked to have played better,” said Fleury, whose rink went 8-3 in tournament play. “But Nova Scotia played amazing and we just had some key misses. They played well and put a lot of pressure on us.”
Arsenault is now two wins away from giving Team Nova Scotia its first Scotties Tournament of Hearts national title in 14 years. Nova Scotia will play the loser of Saturday night’s Page Playoff, between Manitoba and Team Wild Card, in the semifinal at 9 a.m. at the South Okanagan Events Centre to determine who will move on to the final. The winner of the Saturday night 7 p.m. draw will move directly to the final, which takes place at 4 p.m. on Sunday.
The HeartStop Lounge, located at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre, will feature the final on one of their giant-screen TV’s on Sunday, the other will be playing the Super Bowl. Tickets are not required to take in the action at the HeartStop Lounge.
For ticket information for the rest of the 2018 Scotties Tournament of Hearts draws, go to www.curling.ca/2018scotties/tickets/.
The 2018 Scotties Tournament of Hearts All-Star teams were also released, and are presented as follows:
1st Team:
Skip – Jennifer Jones
Third – Cary-Anne McTaggart
Second – Jill Officer – Manitoba
Lead – Dawn McEwen – Manitoba
2nd Team:

Second – Jessie Scheidegger – Alberta
Lead – Ranoura Westcott – Team Canada
And at the fifth end break, Team Saskatchewan skip, Sherri Anderson, was presented with the Marj Mitchell Sportsmanship Award, which honours the player that most exemplified sportsmanship and dedication to curling throughout the tournament.

Snooping mom discovers secret stash

represent this text to find a news title for it

Dear Amy: I was snooping in my son's basement and discovered he is growing weed. Should I confront him? He could lose his job, house, reputation and shared custody of his daughter.
I am a nervous wreck thinking about how to approach him. My husband would have a stroke if he found out. I know I should do something, but what?
-- Sad Mom
Dear Sad: Here's what you should do: Stop snooping in your son's basement.
Unless he has a sophisticated commercial marijuana ranch down there, you should assume this is for his own use, and leave it alone.
If you absolutely cannot stand it and must confront him about this, you will have to tell him the truth about your own behavior. One natural consequence of your admission would be for him to stop trusting you.
If you are ready to make this sacrifice, you should only urge him not to expose his child to his marijuana growing and weed use. Obviously, if you found this in the basement, so could she, and this would put his daughter in an even worse position than you are in, because involving her in this sort of secret could be ruinous for their relationship, and disastrous down the line.
State laws regarding marijuana cultivation seem to be quite convoluted. If he doesn't have a license to grow and is caught (by someone other than you) the consequences could be extreme in proportion to his crime.
Dear Amy: My daughter, 9, is in Girl Scouts. She loves it. I offer a lot of my time helping out the troop. Today, they went to an ice show in which the troop paid for the tickets, so this was not an out-of-pocket expense for us.
The parents were asked to either provide a snack for their daughters, or send money for the girls to buy a snack. We opted to send a snack instead of sending money, as we struggle financially.
Once they got there, they realized that you can't bring snacks in to the facility (understandable), so one of the troop leaders purchased popcorn buckets for each girl.
All the other girls brought money and were able to purchase their own drinks to go with the popcorn.
My daughter did not have any money with her, so her troop leader bought her a drink with a souvenir cup. My daughter thinks it cost around $15. I emailed the troop leaders and asked how much the souvenir/drink was and offered to reimburse them for it.
I felt like this was the right thing to do. However, my husband disagrees. He feels as though I shouldn't have offered, since we basically followed their initial instructions.
I know this is a small problem but every time someone purchases something on my kids' behalf without us asking, I feel obligated to at least offer to reimburse them when I have the funds. I know they can answer, "No -- don't worry about it." Am I wrong for offering to reimburse the troop leader? Or is my husband right?
-- Confused Girl Scout Mom
Dear Confused: You did the right thing. These troop leaders volunteer their time to help supervise the girls, and in addition to spending their time, they willingly spend money on all sorts of little (and large) things along the way. It was kind of this troop leader to purchase this treat for your daughter. You can assume that she did so very happily and does not expect to be reimbursed, since this was an unanticipated expense.
Of course you should acknowledge this and (if you're able) offer to reimburse her. You can expect her to turn down your offer, but your gesture is a nice way of acknowledging her kindness without making specific assumptions. She was being nice, and now you will be nice in return. That is the social contract your husband doesn't seem to understand.
Dear Amy: The man signing his letter "No Prior Precedent" described his wife's adult biological daughter, who she had surrendered for adoption at birth, entering their lives as an adult and wanting her biological mother to readopt her.
It is quite obvious that this person wants money. Once she is legally their child, she stands to inherit their money.
-- Seeing the Obvious
Dear Obvious: State laws differ, but generally children do not have an automatic right to inherit. And the prospect of inheritance does not always motivate people seeking a relationship with their parents.

Question: Charlottesville Violence Highlights Cities' Struggle To Balance Rights And Safety

"How do you reconcile public safety and the First Amendment?" That's the question Charlottesville, Va., Mayor Mike Signer asked in an interview on Sunday.
And it's a question city and state governments are likely grappling with after the weekend's violence in Charlottesville.
Around the country, white nationalists and other groups have protested efforts to remove statues and other symbols of the Confederacy. As counter-demonstrators arrive to protest the white nationalists, the resulting scenes are often tense and brimming with the potential for violence.
State and local officials prepared for Saturday's protests in Charlottesville, which were known about for months. But in the wake of fierce brawling in the streets of the usually quiet college town, and then a driver plowing his car into a crowd of pedestrians, killing one and injuring 19, many are asking what Charlottesville authorities could have done differently—and what could be done to prevent such violence in the future.
City Permitting and Free Speech
Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe told NPR's Morning Edition that local authorities had done what they could to head off the fighting that erupted, but that they were foiled by a federal judge's decision to allow the Unite The Right rally to go on in Charlottesville's Emancipation Park.
Charlottesville tried to revoke the permit it had issued for the rally to be held in Emancipation Park, in order to move the protestors about a mile away to McIntire Park, which offered more open space.
"That was the place it should have been. We were unfortunately sued by the ACLU and the judge ruled against us," McAuliffe said. "That rally should not have been in the middle of downtown ... where [people] dispersed all over the city streets, and it became a powder keg. We've got to look at these permits, and we've got to look at where we put these rallies and protesters."
The ACLU responded that the injunction was the city's fault because it mounted a weak legal case.
"The Governor's anger about what happened is understandable," ACLU Virginia Executive Director Claire Guthrie Hastings said in a statement to NPR. "We are angry, too. The situation that occurred was preventable, and our lawsuit challenging the City to act constitutionally did not cause it. ... All we did was ask the City to live up to the requirements of the Constitution. That it failed to do so is on the City, not us."
Charlottesville Police Tactics Scrutinized
Also under scrutiny was the action – or inaction – of the Charlottesville police.
McAuliffe told Morning Edition that the police did "a magnificent job," and said the potential for violence had been high.
"They had to be very careful," the governor said. "We had been planning for this for a while. We had to show tremendous restraint because ... these people all came armed. I've never seen so many weapons. These people were wearing better gear than my own state police were wearing. They had body armor, helmets. I mean people were walking around with semi-automatic rifles through the streets."
"[If] one person fired one shot, it would have been a melee, and I would be talking to you today with a lot of body bags. None of that happened."
"Think of this," McAuliffe said. "Not one window was shattered, not one ounce of property damage, not one shot fired, and not one person went to the hospital, except for the 19 who were hit by a car terrorist. Which, you can't, you know – there's no preparation's that's gonna prepare for some nut, some murderer, who's going to turn his car into a weapon and run through a crowd."
But both protesters and counter-protesters criticized the police response.
"There was no police presence," Brittany Caine-Conley, a minister in training who locked arms with other clergy members in counter-protest, told The New York Times. "We were watching people punch each other; people were bleeding all the while police were inside of barricades at the park, watching. It was essentially just brawling on the street and community members trying to protect each other."
Princeton professor and activist Cornel West, who was also at the protest, told The Washington Post "the police didn't do anything in terms of protecting the people of the community, the clergy."
The Unite The Right rally's organizer, Jason Kessler, was also critical. "Charlottesville refused to honor permit as ordered by a federal judge. CPD didn't even show up until 1.5 hrs into the permit," he tweeted. "Inside the park was peaceful. Outbreaks of violence occurred where police refused to separate or even pushed the feuding groups together."
White nationalist Richard Spencer, another organizer, said the police had failed to protect the people who had gathered for the rally. "We came here as a demonstration of our movement," Spencer told the Post. "And we were effectively thrown to the wolves."
The ACLU's Hastings also criticized the policing on Saturday, which she said "was not designed to be ... effective in preventing violence."
"I was there and brought concerns directly to the Secretary of Public Safety and the head of the State Police," said Hastings. "They did not respond. In fact, law enforcement was standing passively by, waiting for violence to take place, so that they would have grounds to declare an emergency, declare an 'unlawful assembly' and clear the area."
Charles Ramsey, who formerly headed the police in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., told the Post that demonstrators and counter-demonstrators "need to be in sight and sound of each other, but somebody has to be in between .... That's usually the police."
"The whole point is to have overwhelming force so that people don't get the idea they can do these kinds of things and get away with it," he said.
An NPR request for comment from the Charlottesville Police Department was not returned.
Lt. Joseph Hatter, a commander with the Charlottesville police, told the Post that officers tried to create separate areas. "It didn't work, did it?" he admitted. "I think there was a plan to have them separated. They didn't want to be separated."
He told the newspaper that he doesn't know that police waited to react to the violence. "I think we did the best we could under the circumstances."
Public Assembly and Public Space
Questions about how governments manage protests are likely to continue, and to be argued in court.
On Friday, a federal judge granted a temporary injunction, ruling that the city could not revoke the permit it had issued to Kessler to hold the demonstration in Emancipation Park.
In his opinion, Judge Glen Conrad said Kessler was likely to prevail on his claim that Charlottesville's decision to revoke his permit was content-based.
"Kessler's assertion in this regard is supported by the fact that the City solely revoked his permit, but left in place the permits issued to counter-protestors," Conrad wrote. "The disparity in treatment between the two groups with opposing views suggests that the defendants' decision to revoke Kessler's permit was based on the content of his speech rather than other neutral factors that would be equally applicable to Kessler and those protesting against him. This conclusion is bolstered by other evidence, including communications on social media indicating that members of City Council oppose Kessler's political viewpoint."
The judge wrote further that though the city maintained its decision to revoke Kessler's permit was due to the number of people likely to attend his demonstration, "their concerns in this regard are purely speculative." He added, "there is no evidence to support the notion that many thousands of individuals are likely to attend the demonstration."
Following the events in Charlottesville, those worried about potential violence have fresh evidence.
Public protests can become especially complicated when people are carrying guns and dressed in full camouflage, as some did this weekend in Charlottesville.
McAuliffe argues officials need help from the courts if governments are to maintain public safety while allowing people to exercise their First Amendment rights.
"We've got to get a better understanding with these judges to understand our job is to keep our community safe," he said. "The judiciary needs to do a better job of working with us."
And the ACLU's Hastings says that whatever strategies authorities use, they need to be lawful and in keeping with the Constitution: "It is my firm hope and desire that the Governor and other local officials will learn from this past weekend how constitutionally to prevent events like the horror we saw in Charlottesville."

Question: Top North Korean official in U.S. to try and save summit between President Trump and Kim Jong Un

SEOUL, South Korea – A top lieutenant of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is in the United States conducting one of three sets of parallel talks aimed at salvaging a summit between Kim and President Donald Trump.
Kim Yong Chol is meeting with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in New York to finalize plans for the summit, while lower-level officials have been meeting at the inter-Korean border and in Singapore for other pre-summit negotiations.

A look at what is at stake in the three sets of talks:
–––
U.S. TALKS
Kim Yong Chol is likely to convey to Pompeo that Kim Jong Un is serious about the summit and also to discuss the contents of a joint statement to be issued at its end.
Some experts say major thorny issues are still unsettled between the two countries, and that is why a senior official like Kim Yong Chol has traveled to the United States to narrow the gap.
Trump abruptly canceled the summit last Thursday before quickly reversing course and announcing the meeting could happen. His decision came amid widespread doubt in the United States that North Korea would be willing to actually scrap a nuclear program it has struggled for decades to build.
Meanwhile, South Korean President Moon Jae-in, who met Kim Jong Un last Saturday, said the North Korean leader is uncertain whether he can trust Trump’s promise to provide a security guarantee if North Korea abandons its nuclear weapons.
Given these basic concerns, Kim Yong Chol’s talks with Pompeo are likely to focus on a possible compromise between Washington’s push for a speedy nuclear disarmament and North Korea’s preference for more gradual steps matched by corresponding benefits from the U.S.
Kim Yong Chol, 72, is the most senior North Korean official to visit the United States since 2000. His official title is vice chairman of the ruling Workers’ Party. He previously headed North Korea’s military intelligence agency and was believed to be behind two attacks in 2010 that killed 50 South Koreans and a 2014 cyberattack on Sony Pictures.

DMZ TALKS
U.S. and North Korean officials started talks on the North’s side of a border village on Sunday to set the agenda for the summit. The village is inside the mine-strewn 4-kilometer (2.5-mile) -wide Demilitarized Zone, a buffer created at the end of the 1950-53 Korean War.
The U.S. delegation is headed by Sung Kim, the U.S. ambassador to the Philippines who served as America’s top negotiator to now-stalled six-nation talks on North Korean nuclear disarmament, and as its ambassador to Seoul. In 2008, he witnessed North Korea’s destruction of the cooling tower at its main nuclear complex in a show of good faith with the United States. In recent years, however, satellite photos have indicated that North Korea has restarted its plutonium reactor at the complex.
His North Korean counterpart is Vice Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui, the North’s highest-ranking female diplomat. A recent statement by Choe threatening to scuttle the summit and warning Washington of a nuclear showdown led Trump to temporarily cancel the summit, citing “open hostility” from the North.
The two sides are believed to have exchanged their countries’ views on North Korea’s denuclearization, America’s security assurances and other issues. South Korean media said they wrapped up their talks on Wednesday after Kim Yong Chol’s departure for New York.
Choe served as an English-language interpreter during the six-party talks, while Sung Kim, a Korean American, is fluent in Korean. Analysts say that is likely to have smoothed their talks because they could understand each other even when they were speaking their own languages at the negotiating table.
–––
SINGAPORE TALKS
This meeting is to plan protocol, security and other logistical issues and might also include determining when and where in Singapore the summit would be held.
The two countries originally planned to hold the summit in Singapore on June 12. After putting the summit back on track, Trump tweeted Friday that it “will likely remain in Singapore on the same date, June 12th, and, if necessary, will be extended beyond that date.”
A delegation led by another of Kim Jong Un’s trusted aides, Kim Chang Son, flew to Singapore on Monday night. South Korean media reported that he began talks with Joe Hagin, the White House deputy chief of staff for operations, who is in Singapore with other U.S. officials.
No details have emerged about the talks. Possible venues for the summit include Singapore’s presidential palace, the Shangri-La hotel and the Marina Bay Sands hotel.
Kim Chang Son served as Kim Jong Un’s chief of staff after the 34-year-old leader took power in late 2011. His current official title is a departmental director at the State Affairs Commission, which is headed by Kim Jong Un.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov arrived in North Korea on Thursday for talks with senior officials.
Lavrov's visit comes ahead of a planned summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and was seen as an attempt by Moscow to ensure its voice is heard in the North's diplomatic overtures with Washington, Seoul and Beijing.
After his arrival, Lavrov met with North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho.
Russia's Foreign Ministry said in a statement earlier they would discuss bilateral issues as well as the overall situation on the Korean Peninsula. Details of Lavrov's schedule in Pyongyang were not disclosed.
Despite having a border with the North and relatively cordial relations that President Vladimir Putin has seemed to want to develop further, Russia has so far remained largely on the sidelines as Kim has emerged onto the world stage this year.
Kim has already met twice with China's President Xi Jinping and South Korean President Moon Jae-in. One of Kim's top lieutenants, former intelligence chief Kim Yong Chol, is now in New York to discuss with U.S. officials the agenda for the summit planned in Singapore on or around June 12.

A mum was terrified when the charger she was using for her e-cigarette exploded while she was driving.
Charlotte Bellis was in the car with her 13-year-old son when the device blew up.
Luckily neither she nor son Lewis were injured and she managed to pull over and disconnect the charger.
But she fears the incident could have been much worse.
Mum-of-two Charlotte bought the Chinese-made charger from B&M for £17.99. The discount chain has said it is now looking into the matter.
Charlotte, from Connah’s Quay , told the Daily Post: “I had literally been plugged in for five minutes when it caught fire.
“I just panicked and pulled it out.
“At first it was like a sparkler and then there was a flame. My eldest son was in the car with me and I was worried.”
The device’s box said it is suitable for iPhones, iPads and for general use as a charger. It also claims to be ‘certified by Apple.
But the fire service said that only chargers specifically for e-cigarettes should be used with them.
Charlotte added: “Luckily there was no damage to the car because we pulled it out straight away.
“It could have been a different story if it had been plugged in at home and I hadn’t been there.”
“A spokeswoman for North wales Fire and Rescue Service said: “Power adaptors used for charging e-cigarettes should comply with The Electrical (Safety) Equipment Regulations 1994 and The Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulations 2006.
“It is recommended that only the battery and charger provided with the e-cigarette are used when charging.”
A spokesman for B&M said: “We’re shocked to hear about the incident and have made our supplier aware. We’ve not had complaints about this product before, so would ask that the customer get in touch with our customer service team so that we can investigate the incident.”

Jason Greenblatt, U.S. President Donald Trump’s Special Representative for International Negotiations, on Monday evening denounced Palestinian Authority (PA) chairman Mahmoud Abbas, after he called U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman the "son of a dog".
“The time has come for President Abbas to choose between hateful rhetoric and concrete and practical efforts to improve the quality of life of his people and lead them to peace and prosperity,” said Greenblatt.

WELL, GOOD: Trump to greet Netanyahu by abandoning ‘2-state’ doctrine.

Question: UK workers face renewed hit to spending power in 2018: Korn Ferry

Workers in Britain look set to suffer another hit to their spending power in 2018 while most of their peers in the world's other big rich economies will have small gains, human resources firm Korn Ferry said on Tuesday.
[LONDON] Workers in Britain look set to suffer another hit to their spending power in 2018 while most of their peers in the world's other big rich economies will have small gains, human resources firm Korn Ferry said on Tuesday.
A combination of high inflation, caused in large part by the 2016 Brexit vote, and weak wage growth means British workers are expected to see their salaries fall in real terms by 0.5 per cent next year, according to a survey published by the firm.
The most recent official data has shown British average weekly earnings fell by an annual 0.4 per cent in the three months to September when adjusted for inflation.
Globally, inflation-adjusted wages are expected to rise by 1.5 per cent next year, Korn Ferry said, the weakest predicted increase in five years, underscoring the challenge for policymakers in many countries where unemployment is low but wage growth is weak.
sentifi.com Market voices on:
Benjamin Frost, Korn Ferry's global general manager, said the situation in Britain was aggravated by the jump in inflation which hit three per cent in October and is expected to stay at that level when data for November is released on Tuesday.
"What stands out is that employers are not increasing their pay rises to account for that," he said. "They have limited ability to charge their customers more and improvements in productivity are easier said than done in the short term."
In the United States, workers were expected to see a real-terms salary increase of one per cent in 2018, based on forecasts of wage increases of three per cent and inflation of two per cent.
Korn Ferry said the predicted salary increases were based on its database which contains information from 25,000 organisations across more than 110 countries. In Britain, 770 firms took part.

Question: Betts homers twice to lift Red Sox over Phillies 7-3

PHILADELPHIA — Mookie Betts homered twice and Xander Bogaerts had three RBIs to help the Boston Red Sox beat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-3 on Wednesday night.
Betts had four hits and drove in three to lead an offensive barrage off Phillies starter Jeremy Hellickson (5-5). Boston tagged him for six runs on nine hits in just five innings.
Betts led off the game with a single, had an RBI double in the second, but his biggest hit was a solo home run, his 10th of the season, in the fourth inning after the Phillies had scored three runs to close within 5-3.
He had a chance to get the cycle in the ninth inning, but instead of a triple connected for home run No. 11 to put the game out of reach. It was his eighth career multi-homer game.
Betts was dazzling defensively as well, and made a stellar diving catch in right field to rob Howie Kendrick of a hit in the fifth inning.
Bogaerts was also impressive, with a two-run double off Hellickson in the first and a single that scored Betts in the second. He also had a fine defensive play robbing Hellickson of an infield hit, squashing a potential Phillies rally in the fourth.
Andrew Benintendi drove in the other Red Sox run with a sacrifice fly.
The Phillies scored three runs off Boston starter Brian Johnson in the third inning on a two-out single by Kendrick and a two-run home run by Aaron Altherr, his 10th of the season.
Johnson left the game with an arm injury, but the Red Sox bullpen shut the door on the Phillies, as four different relievers combined to allow just two hits over the final 6 1/3 innings. Hector Velazquez (1-1) was credited with his first major league win.
The Boston bullpen has now gone 21 1/3 consecutive innings without allowing a run.
Not much is going right for the Phillies who have the worst record in baseball. They have lost eight consecutive games as well as all eight interleague games this season, matching a franchise record for consecutive interleague losses since games between the two leagues started in 1997.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Red Sox: Starting pitcher Brian Johnson left the game in the third inning with what the Red Sox indicated was left shoulder discomfort. After two strong innings, Johnson lost a lot of velocity on his pitches, leading to the Phillies only offensive outburst of the game.
Phillies: 2B Cesar Hernandez will be out of action for at least six weeks with an oblique strain, but that doesn't mean the Phillies are going to call up red hot prospect Scott Kingery, who leads all of minor league baseball with 18 home runs at Double A Reading. Kingery isn't on the 40-man roster currently and Phillies GM Matt Klentak said before the game that Kingery isn't ready for a call-up. He did suggest, though, that Kingery will likely be moved to Triple A soon.
WELCOME BACK
Recalled prior to the game RHP Hector Velazquez was pressed into emergency duty when Johnson was injured. After getting hammered in his first major league appearance in May, Velazquez was solid against the Phillies allowing just one hit and two walks in 3 1/3 scoreless innings and earning his first big league victory.
UP NEXT
Red Sox: LHP Chris Sale (8-2, 2.97) has won each of his last seven decisions and leads the majors with 126 strikeouts.

Question: Erdogan says referendum turnout among Turks abroad jumps

FILE PHOTO: Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan addresses his supporters during a rally for the upcoming referendum, in Izmir, Turkey, April 9, 2017. REUTERS/Umit Bektas/File Photo
(In this April 11 story, corrects second paragraph to show overseas voting has finished.)
By Tuvan Gumrukcu
ANKARA Turks living overseas are turning out in greater numbers to vote in a referendum on changing the constitution to create an executive presidency, President Tayyip Erdogan said on Tuesday, a development that pollsters say could benefit him.
Voters in Turkey will go to the polls on April 16 to decide on the referendum that would give Erdogan sweeping new powers. Voting for expatriate Turks began as early as late March in some countries and ended on Sunday.
The referendum campaign has brought a rapid deterioration in relations with some of Turkey's European allies over the banning of some rallies by Turkish ministers in the Netherlands and Germany on security grounds, something Erdogan has denounced as "Nazi-like" tactics.
A high turnout abroad is likely to boost Erdogan, pollsters say, citing past elections, but at home it could hurt him as opposition voters traditionally make up a bigger proportion of those who tend to shun the polls on an election day.
"There is an amazing explosion of votes abroad. Around 1.42 million votes have been cast," Erdogan said at a ceremony in the southeastern city of Sanliurfa, calling on his supporters to flood the ballot box with "yes" votes in the referendum.
The figure Erdogan cited suggests a turnout of around 50 percent, based on the 2.88 million voters registered abroad in the last general election in November 2015, according to data from the High Electoral Board (YSK).
In that election the turnout was around 40 percent among expatriates, with 56 percent of those votes being cast for the AK Party, which Erdogan founded more than a decade ago.
Polls show a close race days before the referendum, putting the "yes" vote slightly ahead, but indicate that nearly half the country could reject the proposed constitutional changes.
Foreign vote results will be announced once the actual referendum is held on Sunday.
BITTERLY DIVIDED
One polling company, Mak Danismanlik, seen as close to Erdogan, said initial exit polls from abroad showed the "yes" vote at 62 percent. It said the only country where the "no" vote had prevailed was the United States. It did not say how many people it had polled or where the research was conducted.
Pollsters Gezici, whose research has tended to overestimate opposition support, forecast 82-83 percent voter participation domestically and a "yes" vote as high as 56 percent if the turnout is lower in Turkey.
The referendum has polarised the nation of 79 million. Erdogan's opponents fear increasing authoritarianism from a leader they see as bent on eroding modern Turkey's democracy and secular foundations.
Erdogan argues that the proposed strengthening of the presidency will avert instability associated with coalition governments, at a time when Turkey faces security threats from Islamist and Kurdish militants.
It was not immediately clear what the turnout in specific countries was, but in the November 2015 election, around 40 percent of the Turks in Germany cast their votes while the figure was around 45 percent in the Netherlands.
Germany's Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspaper said Turks living there had cast 696,863 votes for the referendum, bringing turnout in Germany to 48.73 percent.

President Trump called Turkey's Islamic president Recep Tayyip Erdogan to congratulate him on a controversial and contested referendum victory, sources in his palace said.
The referendum was on proposals to give the Turkish presidency massively enhanced powers, and bitterly divided the country, with the opposition now planning a legal challenge.
But a defiant Erdogan denounced the West's 'crusader mentality' on Monday after European monitors criticized the referendum.
Erdogan, whose narrow victory laid bare the nation's divisions, told flag-waving supporters that foreign election observers should 'know their place' and Turkey did not 'see, hear or acknowledge' criticism that the vote did not live up to international standards.
Call: Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Turkish president, was said by sources in his own palace to have received a congratulatory call from President Trump, after being declared to have won narrowly in a referendum whose outcome is now being contested
Attack on the 'crusaders': Erdogan, who appeared with his wife Emine, at his presidential palace, accused European election monitors who raised concerns over the referendum of having a 'Western crusader mentality'
Division: Campaigners against Erdogan's referendum were back on the streets of Istanbul, Turkey's largest city, on Monday. He won by a wafer-thin margin, with cities including Istanbul and the capital Ankara voting against him
It was unclear whether that was before or after his call from Trump.
The White House spokesman Sean Spicer sidestepped questions on the call, saying that there would be no discussion of it before the full official report of international election monitors.
'There is an international commission that is reviewing this and issues a report in 10 to 12 days. We will wait and let them do their jobs,' he said.
Opponents accuse Erdogan of leading a drive towards one-man rule in Turkey, a NATO member that borders Iran, Iraq and Syria and whose stability is of vital importance to the United States and European Union.
The main opposition party rejected the result and called for the vote to be annulled.
Thousands of people marched through at least three neighborhoods of Istanbul, some chanting 'Thief, Erdogan', 'no to the presidency' and 'this is just the beginning' after calls on social media for protests in several cities.
Late on Monday, cabinet extended a state of emergency by three months, Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus told reporters - the third such extension since a failed coup attempt last July.
Election authorities said preliminary results showed 51.4 percent of voters had backed the biggest overhaul of Turkish politics since the founding of the modern republic.
But the narrowness of his victory could add to volatility in a country that has lately survived an attempted coup, attacks by Islamists, a Kurdish insurgency, civil unrest and war across its Syrian border.
The result laid bare the deep divide between the urban middle classes who see their future as part of a European mainstream and the devout rural poor who favor Erdogan's strong hand.
Erdogan reiterated his readiness to restore the death penalty at several appearances on Monday, which would effectively end Turkey's decades-long quest to join the EU.
He said it was not important if the EU suspended Turkish accession talks.
'The crusader mentality in the West and its servants at home have attacked us,' Erdogan told a crowd as he arrived at Ankara airport, referring to the foreign monitors' assessment.
'We neither see, hear, nor acknowledge the political reports you'll prepare,' he said later at the palace. 'We'll continue on our path. Talk to the hand. This country has carried out the most democratic elections, not seen anywhere in the West.'
The mission of observers from the 47-member Council of Europe, the continent's leading human rights body, said the referendum was an uneven contest. Support for 'Yes' dominated campaign coverage, and the arrests of journalists and closure of media outlets silenced other views, the monitors said.
Ottoman legacy: Erdogan marked his victory with a visit to Yavuz Sultan Selim, who ruled the Ottoman empire from 1512 until 1520. The powers gained through the referendum - if it survives legal challenge - make him the country's most significant figure since Ataturk
Palatial: The disclosure of a call from Trump to Erdogan was made by sources inside the presidential palace in Ankara
'In general, the referendum did not live up to Council of Europe standards. The legal framework was inadequate for the holding of a genuinely democratic process,' said Cezar Florin Preda, head of the delegation.
While the monitors had no information of actual fraud, a last-minute decision by electoral authorities to allow unstamped ballots to be counted undermined an important safeguard and contradicted electoral law, they said.
Turkey's foreign ministry dismissed the observers' criticism as lacking objectivity and impartiality.
The U.S. State Department said it had taken note of the European monitors' concerns and looked forward to a final report, urging the Turkish government to protect the rights and freedoms of all citizens, however they voted.
Erdogan, a populist with a background in once-banned Islamist parties, has ruled since 2003 with no real rival, while his country emerged as one of the fastest-growing industrial powers in both Europe and the Middle East.
He has also been at the center of global affairs, commanding NATO's second-biggest military on the border of Middle East war zones, taking in millions of Syrian refugees and controlling their further flow into Europe.
He vowed Turkey's recent incursion into northern Syria would not be its last such venture in the region, saying it would carry out as many military operations as necessary, wherever necessary, in its fight against terrorism.
The two largest opposition parties both challenged the referendum, saying it was deeply flawed.
The pro-Kurdish opposition Peoples' Democratic Party said it presented complaints about unstamped ballots affecting 3 million voters, more than twice the margin of Erdogan's victory.
Backing: Erdogan has significant support from the poorer and more devoutly Muslim parts of the country, and they rallied at his palace in Ankara after the result
Boost: As Erdogan celebrated victory in the face of legal moves to challenge the outcome, the country's currency, the Turkish lira, rallied
The main secularist opposition People's Republican Party said it was still unclear how many votes were affected.
'This is why the only decision that will end debate about the legitimacy (of the vote) and ease the people's legal concerns is the annulment of this election,' deputy party chairman Bulent Tezcan said.
The president survived a coup attempt last year and responded with a crackdown, jailing 47,000 people and sacking or suspending more than 120,000 from government jobs such as teachers, soldiers, police, judges or other professionals.
The changes could keep him in power until 2029 or beyond, making him easily the most important figure in Turkish history since state founder Mustafa Kemal Ataturk built a modern nation from the ashes of the Ottoman empire after World War One.
The result triggered a 2 percent rally in the Turkish lira from its close last week.
Germany, home to several million Turks, said it was up to Erdogan himself to heal the rifts that the vote had exposed.
'The tight referendum result shows how deeply divided Turkish society is, and that means a big responsibility for the Turkish leadership and for President Erdogan personally,' said Chancellor Angela Merkel and Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel in a joint statement.
Relations with Europe were strained during the referendum campaign when Germany and the Netherlands barred Turkish ministers from holding rallies. Erdogan provoked a stern German response by comparing those limits to the actions of the Nazis.
Under the changes, most of which will only come into effect after the next elections, due in 2019, the president will appoint the cabinet and an undefined number of vice-presidents, and will be able to select and remove senior civil servants without parliamentary approval.

Question: Meet the cast of Ex on the Beach

MTV’s Ex on the Beach is back for series six, where the guys and girls are single and ready to mingle. That is, until their exes arrive and threaten to spoil the pool party.
This season promises to introduce more exes than ever before, so expect a catfight or two. Before tonight’s premiere at 10pm, let’s meet the residents cohabiting a luxury villa on the Greek island of Crete.
Josh Ritchie
Josh Ritchie, 22, is a real ladies’ man. He appeared on the 2015 series of Love Island and now that he’s joined Ex on the Beach, there’s only one thing on his mind…
He says, “I’ve never been in love before, but I’ve made love to several girls at once.”
He scores himself as a 10/10 for looks and he’s cocksure (ahem) that all the women on the beach will love him. We’ll just have to wait and see.
He’s also been linked to Celebrity Big Brother’s Stephanie Davis, who recently gave birth to a baby boy. The rumour mill has even speculated that Josh, rather than fellow CBB star Jeremy McConnell, could be the father.
Check out his Twitter and Instagram.
Maisie Gillespie
At the age of 20, Maisie Gillespie is the youngest member of the show. She’s originally from Bristol and studies journalism and politics at Cardiff University.
Maisie has been the subject of a couple of headlines herself as the former fling of Made in Chelsea’s Alex Mytton when he was still dating his ex Nicola Hughes.
She caused a stir when she featured in a Snapchat photo – barely clothed – taken by Love Island star Tom Powell. They met through her work, Climax Promotions, where she’s responsible for looking after celebrity guests. At the time, Tom was supposed to be dating his Love Island co-star Sophie Gradon.
Maisie says, “I am very aware of being a posh tottie, but there’s more to me than wealth.” She even owns donkeys.
Check out her Twitter and Instagram.
Sean Pratt
If you have a quick snoop on Sean Pratt’s Instagram, you’ll quickly discover who caught his eye on Ex on the Beach. He’s now one half of a loved-up couple with a co-star from the show – even making her his Woman Crush Wednesday.
The 26-year-old former stripper and naked butler from Coventry has gone as far as having her name tattooed on his hand. It looks like things really are serious, then.
If you want to relish the drama of the journey, we recommend steering clear of social media.
He says, “I like to think of myself as a modern day Jack Sparrow. I’m just a pirate looking for my treasure.”
Check out his Twitter and Instagram.
Harriette Harper
Harriette Harper, a 25-year-old glamour model from Essex, previously dated Pete Wicks from The Only Way Is Essex. Considering he’s still with Megan McKenna, who’s appeared on Ex on the Beach, we don’t think he’ll be jogging across the sand Baywatch-style anytime soon.
“I’m so sick of bad boys. I need a real man. I need a soldier,” Harriette says.
She nabs herself a cheeky kiss in the first episode, but could he be the real man she’s looking for?
Check out her Twitter and Instagram.

Question: Power struggle: Solar, wind challenge coal as more affordable energy source

Part Two
LIKE gold and other minerals, the Philippines is rich in coal.
According to the Department of Energy (DOE), the country’s in situ coal reserves as of December 2015 amount to 470 million metric tons (MT), or 19.7 percent, of the country’s total coal-resource potential of 2.39 billion MT.
The country’s energy-source mix, however, is slowly shifting to renewable energy (RE), with more and more companies venturing into RE-related development projects.According to Greenpeace Philippines climate and energy campaigner Reuben Muni, what is needed is the required boost from the DOE, which should be facilitated by the ongoing energy-mix policy review, which specifically aims to veer the Philippines away from coal addiction.

The coal industry is booming in the Philippines because of increased interest brought about by the huge demand for cheap, reliable energy source, according to Muni.
Underexplored areas
THE DOE reported that there are 30 coal-operating contracts in the development and production phase; 48 coal-operating contracts in the exploration phase; and 83 small-scale coal-mining operators as of July 2016.
The Coal and Nuclear Minerals Division (CNMD) is also continuously scouting for underexplored coal areas.
In May 2014 15 prospective coal areas in Mindanao and five companies submitted nine applications for seven of these areas. These areas are in the provinces of Agusan del Norte, Agusan del Sur, Surigao del Sur, Zamboanga del Norte and Zamboanga Sibugay. On May 18 that year all seven coal- operating contracts were awarded to companies after complying with the technical, legal and financial requirements of the DOE.
“It is but very timely to invest in coal facilities, as the price of oil continues to rise, with coal being still the cheapest option with abundant supply worldwide,” according to the DOE, as posted in its official web site about coal and its investment opportunities.
The key investment opportunities in the coal sector for private companies include the setting up of coal-preparation plants to upgrade the quality of Philippine coal and
making these acceptable to current coal users. Other investment opportunities involve the expansion of production volumes of higher-rank Philippine coals, which can be used without upgrading and/or blending with high-quality imported coal.
Other investment opportunities include the introduction of clean-coal technologies (i.e., circulating fluidized bed combustion) to ensure utilization of Philippine coals with minimal adverse effects on the environment, and the putting up of mine-mouth power plants designed to utilize the abundant low-rank coals that have no alternative markets.
‘Clean coal’
REGARDED as the dirtiest of all fossil-fuel source of energy, advocates for coal as fuel are losing the climate and energy discourse. Hence, so-called clean coal and clean-coal technology have been introduced to attract more investment.
Higher-rank coals are now an option for prospective investors. Purportedly, it can be used by current users without the need for any coal preparation or blending with imported coals.
According to the DOE, high-rank coals exist. The agency pointed to the coal deposits being mined by the Philippine National Oil Co. (PNOC) with its Taiwanese partner in Malangas in Zamboanga Sibugay, by the Ibalong Resources and Development Corp. in Southern Cebu and by the Rock Energy International Corp. on Batan Island.
The DOE said the coal deposits in Catanduanes Island have been contracted out to Monte Oro Resources and Energy Inc. for coal exploration, while the coal areas in General Nakar, Quezon, are waiting to be contracted. According to the DOE, “there are also two other coal fields of good quality”: the Integrated Little Baguio (ILB) and Lalat mines. The ILB mine is covered by the PNOC’s coal-operating contract. On the other hand, the Lalat area will be developed through a joint venture between PNOC and Filsystems Inc., the DOE said.
According to the DOE, it is the downstream coal sector, particularly the utilization of coal for power generation, and cement- manufacturing companies that can introduce clean-coal technologies in existing and future power and cement plants to minimize adverse effects of coal on the environment and still be competitive, are definitely welcome.
No such thing
There is also what the DOE describes as clean-coal technology.
Coal washing or preparation—a wet method of cleaning low-rank coal by separating coal from the wastes using specific gravity differences—reduces ash and sulfur contents of coal and increases its heating value.
There are other technologies, such as circulating fluidized bed combustion technology, flue gas desulfurizer and setting up mine-mouth power plants.
However, Muni said there is no such thing as clean coal or clean-coal technology because “coal is coal”.
Early in February last year, Greenpeace warned that deaths due to stroke, heart and other cardiovascular diseases, and respiratory illnesses because of air pollution may go up from the current 960 annual premature deaths to 2,410 deaths per year, with the construction and operation of more coal-fired power plants in the country.
A report, titled “Coal: A Public Health Crisis”, was released by Greenpeace along with environmental and public-health interest groups to warn the government and the public about the health impacts of existing coal-fired power plants and the plan to construct more in the future.
The report that cited diseases and deaths attributed to coal use in the Philippines said coal-fired power plants expose people to toxic pollution, resulting in hundreds of premature deaths every year.
Sunrise industry
SOLAR, wind and, possibly, ocean current are ready to give coal its biggest challenge as energy source.
In fact, RE may soon become the next sunrise industry in the Philippines and Southeast Asia.
Setting aside the impact of climate change or the climate-change scenario, looking from a purely economic point of view, Muni said there will come a time that the Philippines will be forced to shift to renewables.
“Coal resources are already depleted,” he said. The technology itself,” Muni added. “The price of RE technology is dropping.”
Unlike RE like solar, wind and ocean current, the potential energy supply that can be generated is limitless, he added.
The No. 1 country in terms of wind- and solar-power generation today is China, according to Muni, citing again the “Boom and Bust 2017—Tracking the Global Coal Plant Pipeline” report.
This year 47 new coal plants that were scheduled for construction in China were canceled. When you talk about China, the average power-generating capacity of coal-fired power plants is around 500 megawatts (MW), according to Muni. That means a 48-percent drop in preconstruction activities and a 62-percent diminution in construction stats, he added.
“From a global point of view, the trend is clear,” Muni said. “There are regions in the world that the shift is apparent, like Southeast Asia. Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines are among them. [But] China is leading the way.”
According to the Greenpeace official, it was the Europeans that earlier led the march to RE, with Germany as top dog.
“[But] Asia is now making the shift,” Muni said. “China and India are leading the shift from fossil fuel to renewables.”

Many many major businesses have already adopted renewable energy, but even the latecomers still have a good chance to stake out a position in the clean power vanguard. On the federal level, President Trump has pulled back on national decarbonization goals, leaving a leadership gap that the private sector is eager to fill. There are also opportunities on a local level, as some utilities are offering renewable energy options that go go above and beyond the requirements of their own state governments.
The recent actions by utilities are especially interesting because they indicate that the US economy will continue to decarbonize, even though the Trump Administration remains determined to prop up the coal, oil and gas industries.
Electricity companies take the renewable energy pledge
Midwest Energy News has been tracking the clean power trend among 17 energy companies in its region, and found that a significant majority of 13 have set their own targets for renewable energy, emissions reduction or both.
According to Reporter Andy Balaskovitz, these targets amount to a no-brainer from a bottom line perspective, mainly because the cost of renewable energy has been dropping. The availability of low cost natural gas also dovetails with emissions reduction goals, though the lifecycle impacts of natural gas undercut its “cleaner” reputation.
One standout example is Iowa’s mid MidAmerican Energy. Although Iowa’s renewable energy standard is almost 35 years out of date, MidAmerican has set a 100 percent renewable energy target.
The Consumers Energy example
Balaskovitz makes the point that utilities prefer to set their own standards because they can set their own deadlines and smooth out rate impacts, but direct bottom line considerations are only part of the equation. Utilities that set their own standards can also claim all the good publicity for making progress on their benchmarks.
In addition, Balaskovitz notes that utilities like Consumers recognize the value of clean power to shareholders. For now that includes natural gas, though renewable energy is beginning to edge gas out of the picture in some markets:
Investor-owned utilities and their national trade group, the Edison Electric Institute, say they are adjusting to changing customer and corporate attitudes and declining costs of renewables and natural gas. …And appealing to shareholders means investing in utility-owned generation, including natural gas, solar and wind.
Balaskovitz provides the example of the Michigan utility Consumers Energy to illustrate this proactive clean power strategy at work.
Back in 2012 the company fought against a proposed state renewable energy standard, but just last February the company met — and beat — a similar proposal. The new state proposal calls for 30% renewable energy. Consumers Energy pledged 40% by 2040 and also promised to cut emissions by 80%.
In contrast, the current state requirement is only 15% by 2021. Utilities in the state are on track to meet that modest goal, but now Consumers Energy stands out from the pack.
In yet another bad sign for President Trump’s pro-coal messaging, in 2016 Consumers Energy closed seven coal power plants to jumpstart its clean energy goals.
Good publicity for renewable energy fans
Last week Consumers Energy provided a good example of the media opportunities offered by self imposed renewable energy standards, when it announced new clean power partnerships with GM and Switch:
General Motors and Switch are the first participants in a new Consumers Energy program to help large businesses use large renewable energy sources. Both companies are now matching 100 percent of their electric use at key operations in Michigan with wind-generated power. Although Switch is not a household world, GM’s participation is significant. The company has been a renewable energy early adopter and sees itself as both a leader and mentor. Dane Parker, General Motors vice president of Sustainable Workplaces, emphasized that point in announcing the new partnership:
Corporations have a leadership opportunity to help accelerate and scale renewable energy, making it more accessible and affordable for everyone. The Consumers Energy program will help General Motors meet its commitment to source 100 percent renewable energy at all global operations by 2050, while reducing emissions in our Michigan communities and making the grid greener.
What about nukes?
Some energy analysts lean on nuclear energy as the most efficient means of large scale, rapid decarbonization, but that strategy appears to be situational.
In countries with strong central policy makers there is still a window for nuclear energy, but that’s not the case here in the US. Electricity demand is relatively flat, renewable energy resources have yet to be tapped out, and local opposition makes the idea of widespread re-nuclearization politically impossible.
Although the US continued its nuclear programs under President Obama as well as Trump, it is unlikely that utility customers and investors would favor a decarbonization strategy that depends on building fleets of new nuclear power plants.
For nations where demand is expected to grow rapidly, there is still a policy window for nuclear energy. That’s a realistic outcome in nations where powerful central governments set policy regardless of community concerns, although global solar capacity is actually beginning to catch up with nuclear.
