On Tuesday, Eversource Energy ES announced its acquisition of a 26-acre portion of the Mystic property from Constellation Energy Corporation CEG . This acquisition is part of Eversource’s broader plan to support Massachusetts’ clean energy transition while maintaining reliable service across New England. The Mystic site, located in Everett, holds significant potential to become a multi-use energy interconnection hub for large-scale renewable sources like offshore wind, hydro, battery storage, and even nuclear energy. The existing infrastructure and its strategic location make it an ideal site for electrification and addressing the region’s energy reliability needs. Eversource has yet to outline specific plans for the property but aims to collaborate with Massachusetts, Everett officials, and other stakeholders to develop a plan for next year. Also Read: Investors Aggressively Bought Stocks, ETFs In Volatile Fed Week: Bank Of America Reveals Largest Inflows Since 2017 The site, adjacent to a proposed soccer stadium, could play a critical role in improving electric reliability in New England, helping Massachusetts meet its electrification and decarbonization goals. Eversource’s Chairman, Joe Nolan, emphasized that the acquisition would provide a unique opportunity to support economic development, create jobs, and drive forward clean energy initiatives. The purchase of the Mystic property also offers a chance to enhance grid reliability, mitigate potential congestion in the regional transmission system, and ease the integration of renewables. However, the transaction will not immediately impact customer bills, allowing Eversource to plan and develop the site without additional financial burdens on consumers. Price Action: ES shares closed higher by 0.17% to $57.28 on Tuesday.

Israel strikes Houthi rebels in Yemen's capital while WHO chief says he was meters awayIt is a tactical and long-term strategic error for a former prime minister to create a new, inevitably small party simply because he wants to express the clarity of his views, and this not only concerns Antonis Samaras, who was recently expelled from the ruling conservatives for questioning the government’s policies. The same was true in the case of former premier and one-time PASOK leader George Papandreou, who, with the founding of the Movement of Democratic Socialists (KIDISO) 10 years ago, trapped himself in an unnecessary failed venture. People who have led major political parties and have held the fate of the country in their hands do themselves an injustice when they slide into the realm of petty politics through moves that are almost mathematically doomed to failure. By becoming prime ministers they are part of Greece’s political history and have secured the right to make their opinions public, when and where they deem necessary. Their previous role makes it a given that their opinions are widely published, thus becoming part of the public debate, which is their goal. This writer’s view is that former prime ministers not only have the right, but the obligation, to intervene in public life. The fact that they are not subject to the restrictions of a simple member of parliament allows them to express different opinions, sometimes critical ones, and in any case to influence developments. The leadership of the party in power which is the recipient of any criticism takes it into account, to some extent. Sometimes it may even take corrective measures. This is how the interventions of a former prime minister contribute to changes and improvements, to the extent that this is needed. But that’s as far as it should go. And, of course, the way in which these interventions are done matters. Former socialist premier Costas Simitis had chosen to write the occasional opinion piece. New Democracy’s Kostas Karamanlis, after a prolonged period of silence, has recently made his own public interventions, but although it is clear that he disagrees with many things with the government he has never crossed the line, and this is acknowledged by both his supporters and opponents. This stance lends authority, instead of weakening any objections with the allowed policies. How does Samaras or his views benefit from his expulsion, which every intelligent person understood would follow after questioning the patriotism of a minister? And more than that, how will he benefit from the creation of a new party?Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) Given New $80.00 Price Target at Deutsche Bank AktiengesellschaftThe national chief of the Assembly of First Nations is calling on all members of Parliament to send a First Nations water bill to the Senate before the holiday break, saying the water crisis demands urgent action. "This legislation reflects years of advocacy by First Nations and marks a milestone in a decades-long fight for adequate water and wastewater in First Nations across Canada," Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak wrote in an open letter to MPs. "We cannot afford further delays to this legislation or missed opportunities while First Nations continue to live without access to safe and clean water. Bill C-61 must advance now, not next year. We urge all members of Parliament, across all party lines, to act." The government legislation known as Bill C-61 recognizes that First Nations have an inherent right to clean drinking water and commits the government to provide adequate and sustainable funding for water services in First Nations. The House of Commons has been gridlocked since late September because of an ongoing privilege debate that centres on a request for the Liberals to hand over to Parliament and the RCMP unredacted documents about misspending at a now-defunct green tech fund. That has taken precedence over nearly all other government business, and the water bill is awaiting a final vote in the House of Commons. Last week, Liberal MP Jaime Battiste, who is Mi'kmaq from Eskasoni First Nation, asked for unanimous consent from MPs to adopt the bill and send it to Senate. But several Conservative MPs said no. The Conservatives then introduced a unanimous consent motion of their own that also asked MPs to condemn the Liberals for their inaction on the file. That, too, was voted down. Chiefs who gathered with Battiste and Indigenous Services Minister Patty Hajdu last week expressed their disappointment with the bill not moving forward, and accused Conservative House leader Andrew Scheer of using the bill as a political tactic. "I'm very disappointed that he used clean drinking water as a tactic in this House in order to say, 'If you do this, then we will do this,' where there's real lives that are being affected," Cowessess First Nation Chief Erica Beaudin told reporters at a news conference. "We're not talking about toys, we're not talking about items that are not essential, but water is essential and you either believe in clean drinking water for everybody or you don't. And if you do, you do everything you possibly can to work toward that happening." There are 31 long-term boil water advisories on First Nations across the country, and 36 short-term advisories, government data shows. In a statement last week, Scheer said the Liberals shut down his motion because they would like to avoid "proper debate" on the legislation. "Liberal MPs should be outraged with themselves. They could properly debate this legislation today if they stopped their cover up of their $400 million green slush fund scandal by providing the documents to the RCMP as ordered by Parliament," Scheer said. Since Bill C-61 was introduced nearly a year ago it has been subject to debate in the House of Commons, studied at committee and had amendments tacked on. At the Assembly of First Nations gathering last week, the AFN executive passed a resolution to continue advocating for the bill's approval. Hajdu and Woodhouse Nepinak stood together in October making a similar push for the bill to move forward, with Hajdu blaming the Conservatives for delays. Scheer, in response, pointed back to that privilege debate and said the House can resume its work once the Liberals hand over the documents. It's unclear whether the Liberals will attempt a unanimous consent motion again before the holidays. They are expected to introduce the fall economic statement on Monday, and the House of Commons is set to rise on Tuesday for a break that last until Jan. 27. In her letter to MPs, Woodhouse Nepinak said advancing the bill before then will demonstrate Canada's commitment to upholding its responsibilities. "Support and prioritize the advancement of Bill C-61, refer it to the Senate, and take this necessary step toward ensuring every First Nation has access to the clean and safe drinking water, as it is their basic human right," she said.

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot continued to play down the significance of their place at the top of the Premier League despite it being strengthened by their 3-1 win over Leicester. Chelsea’s surprise defeat by Fulham meant victory over the Foxes stretched their lead to seven points, with a match in hand, with the halfway point of the campaign fast approaching. But Slot is maintaining his level-headed approach despite the clamour growing around their chances of adding another title to the one won in 2020. Tonight’s goalscorers ? pic.twitter.com/xn9sfZbVow — Liverpool FC (@LFC) December 26, 2024 “If you are in this game for a long time like the players and I am then 20 games before the end you don’t look at it as there are so many challenges ahead of you,” he said after Cody Gakpo, Curtis Jones and Mohamed Salah scored to turn around an early deficit following Jordan Ayew’s strike. “Injuries and and a bit of bad luck can happen to any team, it is far too early to be already celebrating – but it is nice for us to be where we are. “I don’t think there was any easy win for us in any of these games; it could have been an easy win against Tottenham but we conceded two and it was then 5-2 – that tells you how difficult it is to win even when you have all your players available. “That is why we have to take it one game at a time. The league table is something of course we are aware of but we always understand how many games there are to go.” Ruud van Nistelrooy’s team led early on against Liverpool (Peter Byrne/PA) “I think we were in the contest for a result for a long time,” he said. “Three-one was the turning point in the sense the game was done there to get a result. “I think the 60th minute I remember a chanced for Daka to score the equaliser so we were in the game to get a surprising result. “We did well, we did what we could: a good start with the goal but if you speak of a turning point, 3-1 with Salah, the game was done.” Van Nistelrooy left goalkeeper Danny Ward out of the squad after he struggled in the defeat to Wolves and was jeered by his own fans. Danny Ward was left out by Leicester (Mike Egerton/PA) “I insisted on a conversation and of course it is a private conversation but what I want to share is the person and the professional he is. “I was impressed with that and his willingness for the team and the club to do well. “Really tough what happened for him. We are professionals but human beings as well, when frustration is being directed towards one person that is difficult.”Drones, planes or UFOs? Americans abuzz over mysterious New Jersey sightings
