US Home Heating Costs Set To Surge 17%, Says Energy Group Authored by Bryan Jung via The Epoch Times, Winter is coming, and experts are predicting that it will be an expensive one for American households nationwide. The average U.S. household heating bill is expected to increase by 17.2 percent this winter compared to last year, according to a forecast by the National Energy Assistance Directors Association (NEADA). Families had already faced higher than average electric bills last winter due to inflation and this year provides no improvement. NEADA assists state agencies under the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, (LIHEAP) in distributing federal assistance to help low-income families pay their utility bills. The energy association expects that the average winter heating bill will increase from $1,025 to $1,202. Heating prices have risen over the past two years to more than 35 percent, the highest rate increase in more than 10 years, according to NEADA data. Lower-Income Households Will Struggle The total cost of heating would increase from $127.9 billion to an estimated $149.9 billion, with lower-income households facing the brunt of the burden. “The rise in home energy costs this winter will put millions of lower-income families [at] risk of falling behind on their energy bills and having no choice but to make difficult decisions between paying for food, medicine and rent,” said Mark Wolfe, executive director of NEADA. “As a result, NEADA sent a letter last week to the Congressional Leadership asking for a supplemental increase in LIHEAP of $5 billion to cover the higher cost of home heating and cooling as a result of [an] increased number of summer heat waves,” Wolfe added.
NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / September 28, 2022 / National Grid: This week, thousands of leaders are in New York for Climate Week 2022. While the presentations and networking are happening in New York City, the action is taking place to the east on Long Island. As more clean energy solutions like offshore wind, solar, battery storage, and clean hydrogen surface, Long Island is quickly emerging as a clean energy hub. Applying the solutions that are working here to other communities throughout the Northeast will be critical to mitigating climate change while continuing to provide reliable, affordable energy to residents that call this region home. The key to Long Island''s success as a clean energy hub is a hybrid approach to decarbonization that incorporates multiple sources of renewable electricity and heat. In Riverhead, the 23-megawatt Calverton Solar Energy Center powers more than 4,200 homes. This reduces carbon emissions 20,000 metric tons per year - equivalent to removing 4,000 cars from the road.

The workers of the National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE) have threatened to resume their industrial action by shutting down the national power grid again. Recall that on August 17, many parts of the country experienced a total power outage as electricity workers led by Joe Ajaero downed tools over an industrial impasse about the promotion of senior officers, among other agitations. The striking union agreed to suspend the strike after a meeting with the Minister of Labour, Chris Ngige. The stakeholders at the meeting agreed to set up a high-power delegation to look into issues brought up by the NUEE and report back within two weeks. The workers now issued another threat on Thursday, for shutting down the national power grid if the President Muhammadu Buhari regime fails to honour the agreement it made with the union. While Dukat Ayuba, the union’s zonal organising secretary, North-West, addressing journalists in Kaduna on Thursday said the two weeks ultimatum given to the federal government to resolve the crisis had elapsed.

As part of overall measures to address the load-shedding crisis, Eskom today launched three programs to get much-needed power to the national grid. Programs will initially focus on generators capable of supplying more than one megawatt to the grid. Over time, the threshold will be lowered to allow smaller producers to participate. The combined impact of the programs, which is projected to exceed 1,000 MW, will make a significant contribution to reducing the load shedding burden on consumers. The goal is to sign the first power supply agreement this week and for power to start flowing through the grid as soon as possible. These are: me.

National Grid is taking blackout risk seriously, yet PM remains reluctant to take action to limit energy usage Alarms blare as a huge storm crashes in off the North Sea, taking out the St Fergus gas terminal in Aberdeenshire. A power failure renders the Hatfield Moor gas storage facility in Yorkshire useless. A foreign power attacks subsea power cables from Norway. Stay calm, it’s only a drill. These are the sorts of eventualities that the energy industry will simulate next week, as a routine annual emergency gas shortage drill takes on national significance. The length of the “Exercise Degree”, which is run by National Grid, has been doubled this year from two days to four days and takes place on 13-14 September and 4-5 October. It could not come at a more relevant time: debate is raging over how probable blackouts are this winter and whether Liz Truss’s energy bills freeze increases that probability because she has not encourage rationing.

Futures Head For Another Monthly Drop, As Oil Slumps, Yields And Dollar Rise After three days of steep declines, S&P futures traded between modest gains and losses as global markets headed for the third consecutive weekly decline and another monthly drop on concerns that aggressive central bank tightening will push the global economy into a hard recession. At 7:15am ET, futures were up 0.2% and Nasdaq futures rose 0.7%, after trading both higher and lower earlier in the session. The dollar rose, Treasury yields jumped after another record CPI print in Europe, while the bizarre oil slump extended.

ASML Holding N.V. is one of the world’s most competitive supplier of semiconductor manufacturing equipment. See why I''m bearish on ASML stock.
With the equities sector possibly on the verge of a downtrend, now is a good time to consider no-brainer long-term stocks to buy. As you probably heard, Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell had less-than-exciting news to deliver to investors. Essentially, the Fed recognizes the enormous challenges which rising inflation caused. Therefore, the central bank remains committed to doing what it can to tackle historically high consumer prices. In other words, the framework of rising benchmark interest rates will likely continue until inflation comes under control. Unfortunately, that bodes poorly for growth-focused equities, which depend on robust entrepreneurial sentiment. However, rising borrowing costs quell such desires. Nevertheless, forward-looking investors may want to consider long-term stocks to buy. At some point, these challenges will fade, presenting potential discounted opportunities today. For the purposes of this list of long-term stocks to buy, I’ve divided the nine securities into three equal-weighted parts.

Finding the best chip stocks to buy isn’t as easy as it once was. After record demand in 2021, even the strongest chip stocks, such Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA ), continue to struggle as a result of supply chain constraints and severe macroeconomic headwinds. For instance, the S&P 500 Semiconductors Select Industry index is down 21% year to date. Meanwhile, the iShares Semiconductors ETF (NASDAQ: SOXX ) has declined 22% over the same period. By comparison, the S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 index are down roughly 10% and 17% so far in 2022. Yet, some chip stocks are riding out the tech selloff better than other sectors. Secular growth drivers such as artificial intelligence (“AI”), cloud computing, 5G, robotics, gaming and electric vehicles (EVs) are providing tailwinds for revenue growth as well as share price stability. Analysts highlight digitalization means many items will have chips. As a result, the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry is bound to decrease. In recent days, Congress passed the $280 billion CHIPS and Science Act, which President Biden signed into law.

Given ASML Holding''s exemplary Q2 earnings call, it is no wonder that the stock had recovered from its previous malaise. See why we rate ASML stock as a Buy.
This Is What Hedge Funds Bought And Sold In Q2: Full 13F Summary While we already covered what may have been the most boring 13F of the second quarter, namely that of Berkshire Hathaway which saw very few changes with Warren Buffett merely adding to a few legacy positions and trimming a few others (full breakdown here)… ... as well as the most interesting one, that from Tiger Global which confirmed that the so-called hedge fund was nothing more than a paper-hands retail investor, dumping most of its biggest holdings just as the market troughed, and leaving the world''s most overrated tech fund missing on all of the recent market upside... ... we also have had quite a few hedge funds inbetween. Courtesy of Bloomberg here are the highlights of the just concluded 13F seasons: Risk off: Chase Coleman’s Tiger Global Management, Dan Sundheim’s D1 Capital and Michael Burry’s Scion Asset Management were among firms that continued to offload equities in the period. Tiger’s aggregate exposure to stocks dropped by about 55% to $11.8 billion.

SEOUL: South Korea''s President Yoon Suk-yeol pardoned Samsung Electronics Vice Chairman Jay Y. Lee on Friday, with the justice ministry saying the business leader was needed to help overcome a "national economic crisis".
The pardon is largely symbolic, with Lee already out on parole after serving 18 months in jail for bribery in a scandal that led to massive protests and brought down then-President Park Geun-hye in 2017.
However, analysts said the pardon should mean Lee will be able to carry out business activities with fewer legal restrictions, and could herald some large investments from Samsung, the world''s biggest smartphone and memory-chip maker.
"With urgent needs to overcome the national economic crisis, we carefully selected economic leaders who lead the national growth engine through active technology investment and job creation to be pardoned," Justice Minister Han Dong Hoon told a briefing.

SEOUL: South Korea’s President Yoon Suk-yeol pardoned Samsung Electronics Vice Chairman Jay Y. Lee on Friday, with South Korea’s Justice Ministry saying the business leader was needed to help overcome a “national economic crisis”. The pardon is largely symbolic, with Lee already out on parole after serving 18 months in jail for bribery relating to his time leading the world’s biggest smartphone and memory-chip maker. However, the pardon should mean Lee will be able to carry out business activities more freely and could herald some big investments from Samsung, analysts said. “With urgent needs to overcome the national economic crisis, we carefully selected economic leaders who lead the national growth engine through active technology investment and job creation to be pardoned,” Justice Minister Han Dong Hoon told a briefing. Lee, a scion of Samsung’s founding family, welcomed the decision and vowed to work hard for the national economy. “I will contribute to the economy with continuous investment and job creation and give back the people and government’s regards,” Samsung said in a statement, citing Lee.

Semiconductor stocks led the market down in 2022, but may lead the market back up.
European shares fell on Tuesday as weak global factory data fanned economic slowdown fears, while markets were on edge as U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi was expected to visit Taiwan. The pan-European STOXX 600 slid 0.6% in morning trade. Pelosi was set to visit Taiwan on Tuesday, three sources said, as the United States said it wouldn’t be intimidated by Chinese threats to never “sit idly by” if she made the trip to the self-ruled island claimed by Beijing. “After the best month for Stoxx 600 in July, European equities are giving back some of those gains to kick off August suggesting the rally was slightly overdone,” Victoria Scholar, head of investment at Interactive Investor, said. “Although Pelosi’s visit could create a deeper strain between Beijing and Washington it is unlikely to result in actual military conflict.” Global markets were jittery, with MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares ex-Japan down 1.3%, while U.S. futures pointed to a lower open. Energy stocks drag European shares lower, reversing earlier gains In Europe, semiconductor stocks such as ASML Holding, ASM International, BE Semiconductor and STMicroelectronics fell between 0.6% and 3.6%. “Most of the chip production happens in Asia.
ASML Holding''s (ASML) unmatched competitive advantage, or "moat," in the semiconductor industry continued to demonstrate its qualities and ability to drive robust results, even during the current, uncertain trading environment. The company''s latest results exhibited fantastic growth momentum, which, along with the company''s ever-growing backlog, should keep driving strong shareholder returns moving forward. I remain bullish on ASML stock. ASML''s Unmatched Moat ASML puffs a distinctive moat when it comes to its patent-protected EUV faculty, which has enabled the company to effectively form a legal monopoly in the space. The reason ASML''s proprietary capabilities are incredibly noteworthy is due to solving the industry''s greatest problem.
