Is Energy Security the New Energy Transition?
Carter’s national energy plan was based on 10 fundamental principles, summarised below: Effective and comprehensive energy policy is possible only with government taking responsibility, public buy-in and willingness to make sacrifices. Continuation of healthy economic growth is vital, with an effective conservation programme helping to maintain living standards and create employment.
Leaked RED IV recommendations for EU hydrogen: What’s really going on in the EU, and what investors can do
The leaked draft impact assessment recommends abolishing the existing mandatory national sub-quotas for green hydrogen and e-fuels (so-called “RFNBOs”2) in transport and industry with non-binding targets at EU level. There would continue to be an obligation on fuel suppliers to supply renewable energy, with each Member State setting its own targets, rather than nationally mandated shares driven by the EU as under RED III.

Game preview, best bet and odds
The Ole Miss Rebels host the Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday, and you can argue that no team has more at stake this week than Ole Miss. Ole Miss (7-2) is No. 16 in the College Football Playoff rankings – but with a loss to 3-6 Kentucky and no wins over ranked teams (though South Carolina, which the Rebels beat 27-3, could climb into the top 25). No. 3 Georgia is the final ranked opponent on Ole Miss’ schedule.
Game preview and best bet
The Penn State Nittany Lions and Ohio State Buckeyes meet Saturday in the highest-profile edition of what has become the nation’s most dependable high-level matchup. No. 3 Penn State and No. 4 Ohio State are playing each other while both are ranked for the eighth straight season, the longest such active streak in the country. No other series tops even three straight seasons. Interestingly, the last time these teams met without both being ranked was 2016.
Penn State vs Wisconsin: Game preview and best bet
No. 3 Penn State is the only top-10 team playing an unranked team on the road this week, in what could be a classic trap game. The Lions have a highly anticipated matchup against Ohio State next week, but the they need to first take care of business in Madison. Penn State is 6-0 but with only one win over a team that currently has a winning record (Illinois). Coming off a bye, the Nittany Lions could build on that total Saturday.
Preview and best bets
The No. 1 Oregon Ducks are favored by three touchdowns when they host the No. 20 Illinois Fighting Illini, the largest point spread in a game between ranked teams all season. It tops the previous high of 19.5 by Penn State vs. Illinois in Week 5. The Illini covered in State College. Will they cover again as big underdogs against a highly ranked foe on the road? Oregon is No. 1 for the first time since 2012 with a 7-0 record, including a win over Ohio State.
Three underdogs who can win the playoff
Texas and Ohio State have emerged as the clear top two teams in the country so far this season. Alabama (despite losing to Vanderbilt) and Georgia (despite losing to Alabama) have shown the ability to play at that level, too. But which longshots have a better chance of winning the national championship than their odds at college football sportsbooks suggest?
Will No. 1 go down again? Five CFB underdogs who can win in Week 7
Wild upsets, like Vanderbilt taking down No. 1 Alabama last week, add to the allure of college football. One week after that unlikely upset, here are some Week 7 underdogs who could copy the Commodores. In games this season between an incumbent Big Ten team and a West Coast newcomer to the conference, the road team is 1-8 (with Indiana at UCLA being the lone win). Ohio State might be the best team in the country. That won’t necessarily be enough in Eugene.
College football underdog bets who can win outright this week
This column seems like a strange place to find unranked/barely ranked teams as favorites facing top-10 opponents. Yet, that’s where we begin our list of college football betting favorites who could lose outright in Week 6: Missouri is 4-0, but with clunky wins over Boston College and Vanderbilt. Yet, the Tigers can win this week for the same reason they were ranked so high to start the season: They’ve shown they can hit a higher gear when necessary.

Five college football favorites who could lose in Week 4
Florida State has been favored in all three of its games this season and lost them all. That can’t continue. Either the Seminoles will win or stop being favored at sportsbooks. But they could thread the needle yet again. Here are some college football betting favorites who could lose outright in Week 4: For the fourth straight game, Florida State has the unfortunate task of facing another less-heralded team that is good enough to beat the Seminoles.

Five college football favorites who could lose in Week 3
Florida State finally caught a reprieve. After suffering the highest-profile upsets of Week 0 and Week 1, the Seminoles got a bye and saw Notre Dame suffer what will probably be the biggest upset of the season, to Northern Illinois. The Fighting Irish are now the national punching bag. Florida State can escape to the shadows and try to get on track against a small-conference opponent. Here are favorites who could lose outright in Week 3: Memphis is one of the nation’s best Group of Six teams.
CO2 Exports in Asia Pacific: Japan’s Approval of the 2009 Amendment to the London Protocol | JD Supra
Introduction In this Alert, we review the impact of the recent acceptance by the Japan Diet of the 2009 Amendment to the London Protocol. Acceptance of the Amendment provides a critical enabler for the export of CO2 from Japan for sequestration in sub-seabed geological formations in Asia Pacific. Such activities are otherwise illegal under international law for signatories to the London Protocol, the principal international treaty governing disposal of CO2 into the maritime environment.
Policy Pillar: The what, where and when of hydrogen in Asia
Much of the headline policy development in hydrogen has been focused on Europe and North America. However, Asia is positioning itself as a major driving force of the emerging industry, with powerhouse nations such as Japan, China, South Korea and India unveiling incentives and policy frameworks to accelerate hydrogen’s uptake. With the Asia Pacific (APAC) region’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions accounting for more than half of global emissions, 45 of the 51 countries in APAC have Net Zero targets.
