Columnist shreds Trump's military criticisms — and says there's a 'far bigger threat'An Italian renewable energy giant and Japan's largest oil and gas company are plugging into Australia's clean energy resources under the banner of a new company. Potentia Energy will be launched at the Sydney Opera House on Monday as an Australian renewable energy firm co-owned by Rome-headquartered Enel Green Power and INPEX. With rights in place for a development pipeline of over seven gigawatts across the country, Potentia is most focused on developing and acquiring assets in NSW, Queensland and Western Australia, chief executive Werther Esposito told AAP. The company is not deterred by the risk of political change, with opinion polls favouring the coalition ahead of the 2025 federal election. "The energy transition will go ahead in any case. There could be an acceleration or slowing down in the process," Mr Esposito said. "Renewables represent, from a technical and economic perspective, the solution for climate change," he said. "I don't think any government could deny that today wind and solar are cheaper than other technologies, and are faster in reaching the phase of deployment and construction and then supply of renewable energy." NSW had suffered some planning delays that had hit investment but there had been a "strong improvement" in the past 12 to 18 months, he said. The company also has a stake in Queensland, particularly in the north's Copperstring area, where the recently elected LNP government has pledged to stick by a massive transmission project begun under Labor. Enel won the bidding in 2024 to develop renewable energy to power a vanadium mining and processing project, which is one of a number of giant resources projects intended to be connected to the $9 billion Copperstring transmission line from Townsville to Mt Isa. WA offered a "huge opportunity" for the deployment of wind farms and battery energy storage systems, Mr Esposito said. With a decades-long footprint in Australia's north and west, INPEX is Japan's largest fossil fuel exploration and production company. Under pressure to reduce its global contribution to climate change, INPEX is already developing the production of liquid hydrogen and ammonia. "They elected Australia as the market to start diversification of the energy mix and huge investment in renewables," Mr Esposito said. "Of course in this regard, Australia is the place to be," he said. Enel and INPEX joined forces in a share purchase agreement in 2023, with the renewables business operating plants comprising 310 megawatts of solar capacity across South Australia and Victoria and a 75MW wind farm in Western Australia. A 93MW solar farm is under commissioning in Victoria and financial close was recently announced for a hybrid 98MW solar and 20MW battery project in NSW. But with international firms lining up to exploit clean energy resources, Australians living alongside projects are demanding a share of future profits through community funds, power bill rebates and other benefits. "The energy transition should be just. To be just it means that you need to support the communities and involve the communities in a proper way," Mr Esposito said. He said Enel was proud of its legacy in providing support to areas facing a changing landscape and the impact of new infrastructure, including community funds, a focus on local hiring and providing training to support new jobs. "It's an approach that is, for us, absolutely a pillar of our strategy," he said. "We are still facing some regulatory ambiguity in what a social licence means, and we are trying to be a leader in the industry in helping and supporting all the key stakeholders in determining and defining what it is."

With Easter Sunday falling on April 20 next year, customers shared their confusion on social media after finding chocolate eggs and hot cross buns already for sale in shops including Morrisons, Tesco and Asda. One user, @Jingle1991, shared an image of Malteser Bunnies in Sainsbury’s on Christmas Eve and pointed out: “Jesus hasn’t even been born yet.” Meanwhile, Gary Evans from Margate shared a shot of Creme Eggs on display in Morrisons in Margate on Boxing Day. “I just think its crazy that everything is so superficial and meaninglessly commercial... (there’s) something quite frantic about it,” the 66-year-old told the PA news agency. No Shame.Morrisons.Easter eggs.Boxing Day.

Counting your stack of donated items can be your version of an NYE countdown. Create a capsule Encourage family members to write a letter to their future self, or to their loved ones, and seal these in a box to be opened in the future, on another New Year’s Eve many years from now. Include photos, Polaroids, gifts, or objects. Street party with the neighbors Involve the community and create a countdown with local performances, from kids to neighborhood Maritesses. Organize a potluck featuring each household’s specialties. Let everything Glow in the Dark Have you ever had a blacklight party? Now’s the time. Make sure everything glows—outfits, decor, and drinks. Stock on glow sticks, neon paint, and luminescent decorations. Use glow-in-the-dark numbers to count down to the New Year. Stargazing Just want to run away from the noise of it all? Celebrate somewhere quiet, like Tanay or Tagaytay, somewhere quiet and with a high elevation, and with zero light pollution. Bring telescopes, blankets, and hot drinks for a celestial countdown under the stars. Champagne tower Build a champagne (or if you can’t do alcohol—sparkling juice) tower and pour the final bottle as the clock strikes midnight. Let the oldest member of the family take the top glasses for a symbolic toast.The STEM Parrot Foundation has made a significant contribution to education in the Ashanti Region, donating 50 volume-type computers, 300 sketchbooks, and other essential educational materials to five junior high schools.

Sports on TV for Monday, Dec. 9

City fell behind twice in Saturday’s 2-2 draw at Selhurst Park, where Rico Lewis scored a second-half equaliser before he was sent off, ruling him out of next Sunday’s Manchester derby. Guardiola was missing seven potential starters through injury or illness for the trip to south London and he said: “It’s football, and we know that this season will be like this. “What I said to the players (was) ‘Don’t feel sorry. Please accept the challenge’. “It will be more difficult, but that’s what it is and maybe at the end we will have more satisfaction, in the way that we are going to (respond) to these problems, than maybe in the other seasons that we won the title. “All teams want their players always fit and ready and unfortunately since the beginning that could not happen, and it’s going to be, I think, for longer. “But one way or the other, we are going to try.” City, with 27 points, are eight behind league leaders Liverpool, who have a game in hand after their Merseyside derby was postponed by Storm Darragh. John Stones, Nathan Ake, Manuel Akanji, Mateo Kovacic, Rodri and Oscar Bobb were all ruled out of the Palace trip by injury while Phil Foden was unavailable due to illness. Erling Haaland’s 13th goal of the season cancelled out Daniel Munoz’s fourth-minute opener. Summer signing Maxence Lacroix opened his Palace account to fire the hosts back in front after the break, but Lewis salvaged a draw in the 68th minute before he was controversially booked for a second time following a challenge with Trevoh Chalobah. With Kevin De Bruyne, Jeremy Doku, Jack Grealish and Ruben Dias all having recently returned from injury, Guardiola is thin on fully-fit personnel. “The season starts difficult, it will be difficult all season,” added the City boss, whose side next travel to Juventus for Wednesday’s Champions League encounter. “We have to survive the season, every game, try to take points, to try to win games and go forward. “Unfortunately (Lewis) is an important player for us for the next game against United at home, but in general what they have done in the circumstances is really, really good.” “From the beginning, everything was wrong and unlucky in many things and we have to continue with that, with the players that we have at our disposal. “We go to the Champions League now in Turin and try to perform well, and we take the results.” Crystal Palace’s season has been the mirror image of their opponents’. While City have slumped since late October, it was at the same point that the Eagles snapped an eight-game winless streak with victory over Tottenham. Palace have now picked up 10 points from their last seven top-flight games but remain 17th, four points clear of Ipswich in the relegation zone. Glasner, who said he deliberately dialled up Palace’s “intensity” in Saturday’s stalemate, said: “We don’t feel unlucky. It was a good performance, but I think we can do better. “It’s always up to the players. You support them. It’s important to be fit and stay fit, otherwise you never reach your best. You can’t play on your best level. “You need the training, you need the games, you need the minutes. We need all the players fit, we need them sharp, being ready to play how we want to play. “I think then we still have a lot of potential to improve.”NEW YORK (AP) — Keith Higgins Jr. had 16 points in Lehigh's 60-59 win over LIU on Saturday.
