During the summer electricity rates tend to skyrocket, but saving money shouldn't be as difficult.
Joey Estrada, with Lochridge Priest, shares some tips on what you should do before the temperatures get too high.
“Have a technician come out, check the refrigerate levels, check your system to make sure it’s running. Make sure your fan motor is running the way it should be,” Estrada says.
Estrada says you want to have a technician come in to take a look at your A/C unit to make sure everything is operating the right way.
“First thing you want to check [is] the filter. Make sure you’re keeping a clean filter. That helps the airflow get through as best as possible,” says Estrada.
The U.S. Department of Energy has committed $27 million in funding to for research of wave technology to be transformed into electricity. The main goal is to make it commercially viable.
The DOE on July 7 said the money supports the Biden administration’s efforts “to build a clean energy economy,” along with the president’s target of net-zero carbon emissions from the power sector by 2050.
Grid operators called for decreased electricity usage as several power grids went offline due to rising heat in Texas
According to the current grid conditions on the Electric Reliability Council of Texas website, Texans no longer need to cut back on their electricity use to avoid stressing the electrical grid.
After a week, consumers may return to normal usage of electricity that stressed the grid — and Texans’ anxieties. The ERCOT website said: “There is enough power for current demand,” and an ERCOT spokesperson confirmed the power conservation notice expired at 7 p.m. Friday.
Job recruiters reported a shockingly high number of open jobs, starkly contrasting the desperate times we are in as we recover from the pandemic.
Yet total job gains increased only modestly, according to a Labor Department report issued Tuesday. The figures follow an April jobs report last week that was far weaker than expected, largely because companies appear unable to find the workers they need, even with the unemployment rate elevated at 6.1%.
Job openings rose nearly 8%, to 8.1 million in March, the most on records dating back to December 2000, the government said. Yet overall hiring that month rose less than 4% to 6 million. The hiring number is a gross figure, while the government's jobs report — which said 770,000 jobs were added in March — uses a net total. Tuesday's report is known as the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, or JOLTS.
The Biden Administration had a dream to make America fully green. In the process, they found out that making this reality was much more difficult than last thought. They now have to find a plan, and stick with it, to make America electric.
Emissions reduction, decarbonization of the U.S. power grid by 2035, and increased electrification in the transportation and building sectors will require an enormous amount of investment from the industry as well as government support.
Many states are experiencing record heat waves, which means that Air Conditioners will be running at full throttle. During the summer months most Americans see an uptick in their electricity bills, and now add that people will be cooped up even longer in their homes due to the pandemic.
The typical household spends roughly $2,000 annually on energy bills, an Environmental Protection Agency spokesperson told TODAY. The EPA added that air conditioning is the likely culprit for energy bill increases in the summer months. Nearly half of a given home’s total energy bill is dedicated to heating and cooling systems.
It is projected that homeowners could see monthly energy bills rise by 10% based on data collected from renewable energy company Arcadia for those living in cities. Data was collected from energy use by 10,000 customer households across 13 major U.S. cities during March and April.
If you're looking to keep electricity bills down as temperatures soar, try these short- and long-term recommendations from the EPA and other sources.
Temperatures are rising! In order to protect yourself from rising electricity prices, follow these easy tips to help keep you and your wallet cool.
1. FAN YOURSELF
Buying stand, box or ceiling fans is a small investment that can reduce your energy costs. Using fans to help cool your home means you can raise the thermostat setting by 4 degrees without reducing your comfort level. Just remember to turn off the fans when you’re not in the room. They aren’t intended to cool the space — just the people in the space, via the wind, chill effect.
Small business owners were on edge when the administration forced Government contractors to pay $15. Congress is now thinking of raising the wage again, which could change everything.
There is a popular mandate for a $15 federal minimum wage. Nearly two-thirds of Americans support the wage increase, include 40% who “strongly” back the proposal. In Florida, voters passed an amendment last November to raise the minimum wage, now $8.56, to $15 in 2026; it moves to $10 in September.
The loss of money on Monday could have been even worse, but it could have been worse. But, investors are looking to see how American and other airlines recover.
United executives have said recently that bookings are rising ahead of the peak summer vacation season, and they expect that trend to grow stronger as more Americans get vaccinated against COVID-19. The airline predicted that a number of financial measures will improve from the first quarter into the second.
A sudden drop in temperature that was almost a week-long shut down individual units and occasionally entire plants at 25 refineries in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Tennessee.
Six million barrels per day (bpd) of national refining capacity was out of production before refineries in Beaumont, Corpus Christi, and Port Arthur, Texas, began restarting on Feb. 22.
By comparison, Hurricane Harvey idled a fifth of national refining capacity at the end of August 2017.
Just like many of you, I have been working by myself for a while now. Loneliness has been something bothering me ever since and Here are a few tips you can use to make yourself happier.
I’m sure I’m not the only one who sometimes misses their old job purely from a human contact perspective. Office banter, chatting about weekend plans, or simply having another person to bounce ideas off are all things I yearn for now and then.
Loneliness isn’t a hot topic of conversation amongst remote workers. It’s somewhat stigmatized and aligned with weakness in the same way that depression and anxiety are. But it’s okay to feel that way; we all do from time to time.
So how can you cope with working alone? In this post, I’ll highlight some simple but effective methods to help you banish the isolation blues.
If you haven't recognized the future of cryptocurrency, you’re not alone. Approximately only 15% of Americans currently own a kind of digital currency, like Bitcoin or Ethereum. A large percentage of the people who have bought the currency have acquired it over the past two years. Regardless of your ability to invest, it’s likely that digital currency will impact you soon.
Mainstream Institutional Adoption Is Already Here
The writing started to be on the wall, perhaps when MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor first publicly endorsed Bitcoin. As a publicly-traded company dating back to 1989 and known for having lots of capital in excess reserves, Saylor coming out and publicly ringing the alarm of crypto and even calling it "superior to cash" indeed raised some eyebrows among institutions and created a snowball effect.

1. Sleep when you shouldn't
If you wake up until noon and work 12 or more hours per day to make up for a late start. Here's the thing. I understand perfectly because I struggled with it for years. We are not all active people in the morning. Me, I still stay in bed on cool, rainy mornings.
Successful people are known to wake up early, usually before everyone else at home, so they can get started early on to get work started, catch up on the news, answer emails, and exercise without sacrificing time. they spend with their family.
You might think you have your life in full control. You make sure your responsibilities are always fulfilled, and you’re happy. Everything's good than good, right?

The website you make is the best tool you have in your arsenal. If you just follow these 5 easy steps, you can make a beautiful website that engages visitors and makes them excited to work with you.
1. Pick a Domain Name
A domain is the unique name of your website.
You can choose any name you want, but it’s best to have one that matches your business or professional name. Not only does this keep your branding consistent, but it can also significantly impact how you appear in search engine results. A good domain name may help you place higher in rankings, which can increase the number of people who click to access your site.
I believe that CEOs should not be vocal on political issues. I think it is wrong for executives to take a position, for the whole business, on public-policy questions that don’t directly affect them.
First, while these CEOs have the right to their own opinions, they can never speak merely as individuals; they always speak for and represent the companies they head. As CEOs they have the right, and perhaps the obligation, to speak out on matters affecting their organizations, but unless they have asked their boards for approval before speaking, they don’t have that right on unrelated matters.
If you have started a new business and are looking for it to grow and become a multi-million dollar brand, you have to follow some bits of advice. Here are 4 tips to keep your business from falling.
1. Too Much Overhead
This is the number one mistake entrepreneurs make when starting out. You buy too much. I know that you want the best brand-name furniture and the top designs, the best systems, the best tools, etc. However, we must crawl before we walk. You should be focused on surviving your first year in business.

Entrepreneurship can start early. There are plenty of opportunities for kids to start their very own businesses at a young age. In some cases, they might need adult help or supervision, but here are some different ideas that might appeal to younger entrepreneurs:
The number of people with major cases of the Coronavirus in Texas is still declining, even with officials who reported over 1,600 cases on Sunday.

Today, traffic backs up the lone highway out of the unincorporated area that's now home to only about half a dozen residents — and SpaceX's Starship facility. During the day, selfie-seeking tourists line the road for photos with the stainless steel spaceship under development. At night, excavators plow the earth at the busy construction site. Before test launches, residents receive a notice suggesting they temporarily evacuate for safety.
As we have seen in the past couple of months, “cancel culture” is real: what started as a single negative comment from one person on the internet can turn into a full-frontal attack on you personally and your business. If you ignore negative comments, then you can potentially make the point that you can’t deal with it anymore.
The beauty of social media is that it’s a two-way dialogue, unlike TV and print ads. Remember, these media platforms are live, 24/7. A simple blurb posted at 3 a.m. about your company, your level of customer service (or lack thereof), your products, your political or community activities could, in an instant, trigger a consumer boycott.
Talent is that natural ability some have in something. Talent is futile unless you work on it. Just because you have talent doesn’t mean that you can be the #1 on the team if you don’t do anything.
“Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard.”
Tencent Stocks plummet for the 2nd day in a row, causing a loss of 62 Billion dollars. One business says this can destroy the value of their financial business.
The stock fell more than 4% in Hong Kong on Monday, following a 4.4.% drop on Friday. China’s top financial regulators see Tencent as the next target for increased supervision after the clampdown on Jack Ma’s Ant Group Co., people with knowledge of their thinking have said. Like Ant, Tencent will probably be required to establish a financial holding company to include its banking, insurance, and payments services, according to one of the people.

Let's learn from last year -- and not make the same mistakes again.
2020 caught a lot of us off guard. I mean, I'd have laughed if you'd told me last January that my kids' last day of in-school learning would take place in March and wouldn’t start back up again until the next year. Or that we'd spend the better part of the year rationing toilet paper and barely leaving the state. But alas, 2020 affected all of us, and in the course of that rigorous year, some unwise financial decisions were made. Rather than wallow in them, lets learn from these mistakes. Here are some mistakes to not make this year.
2020 has been a year to never forget. From Pandemics to wildfires, this past year has affected the markets tremendously. Here are a few topics that have risen in popularity.
Lots of people are shopping online, and as many people put their information online, the number of scams are skyrocketing, according to a new report by the Better Business Bureau.
“Scam artists track the kinds of things we’re looking for, the kinds of purchases that we’re making, how popular products are online and they try to curtail their message to meet those same kinds of needs,” said John North, president, and CEO of BBB Dayton and Miami Valley.
There are multiple different health benefits of busting out some laughs.
You might have heard people say “Laughter is the best medicine.” But it’s more than just a saying— laughing can really benefit your health.
“Just a few minutes of laughter a day can improve your health in more ways than you might realize,” explains Maria Heveran, a physician assistant at Geisinger Lewisburg clinic.
A giggle a day keeps the doctor away
No work-at-home scheme is more misunderstood and demonized than network marketing, which is otherwise known as multi-level marketing (MLM). At it’s best, network marketing is seen as unimportant mommy-businesses or something strange uncle Bob does to find his fortune. At its worst, network marketing is perceived as being full of greedy snake oil salespeople and scam artists. At the same time, others tout it as is a viable way to start a part-time home-based business. All of these are incorrect, and here is an example.
If you're considering joining network marketing, then it's important to examine some common misconceptions about it.

The company's revenue dropped nearly 1/3 of last year, to $3.4bn, because many can not travel.
The firm said it has already seen a smaller decline in travel this year than in the last three months of 2020, when revenue was down 22% year-on-year at $859m.
"Travel is coming back and we are laser-focused on preparing for the travel rebound," its chief executive Brian Chesky said.
With 2020 came the rise of Zoom meetings, which changed how companies will function for years to come. Whether it is online conference calls, to running large companies on your coach, this will change the job market, even after the pandemic.
Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk not the world’s richest person, after losing roughly $30 billion from his net worth in a span of less than 24 hours, and is now second behind Jeff Bezos.

Bitcoin has drawn enthusiasts for its scarcity and security, but the volatile digital currency still is not widely used to pay for goods and services. It’s mostly been a store of value, like gold, with some limited merchants like Overstock accepting bitcoin for payment. It’s also used by those distrustful of the banking system or criminals seeking to launder money. All and all, all kinds of people use BitCoin.
