US tax breaks lure European clean tech companies as EU lags

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:04:31 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Norwegian startup Freyr will first build batteries to power electric vehicles and store clean energy in a remote town near the Arctic Circle. Up next? An Atlanta suburb.That’s because a new U.S. clean energy law offers generous tax credits — up to 40% of costs — in what is a “massive, massive incentive” for producing in America, CEO Tom Einar Jensen said.Across Europe, companies seeking to invest in the green energy boom — churning out everything from solar panels to windmills and EV batteries — are making similar calculations, weighing up the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act’s $375 billion in benefits for renewable industries against a fragmented response that European Union leaders have been scrambling to patch together for months. The law aims to kick-start the U.S. transition away from climate-changing fossil fuels with tax credits and rebates that favor clean technology made in North America. It blindsided the EU when it became law in August, putting the U...

Clinton, Blair to mark Northern Ireland peace milestone

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:04:31 GMT

BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) — Former U.S. President Bill Clinton and past leaders of the U.K. and Ireland are gathering in Belfast on Monday, 25 years after their charm, clout and determination helped Northern Ireland strike a historic peace accord.They are meeting for an anniversary conference in a Northern Ireland that has changed dramatically since 1998, and where some wonder if the accord that created peace is still capable of sustaining it.A young peacetime generation is increasingly shedding the rival identities — British unionist and Irish nationalist — that erupted into three decades of bloodshed that killed 3,600 people. But at the same time, Northern Ireland is locked in a political crisis that threatens to rattle the peace secured by the Good Friday Agreement.“You’ve got a transformed society in which (the labels) unionist, nationalist for many young people doesn’t mean anything,” said Katy Hayward, professor of political sociology at Queen’s University Belfast.“But on...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:04:31 GMT

BANGKOK (AP) — Myanmar’s military government on Monday granted amnesty to more than 3,000 prisoners to mark the traditional lunar New Year holiday, but it wasn’t immediately clear if those released included the thousands of political detainees locked up for opposing army rule.State-run MRTV television reported that the State Administration Council, the ruling body created by the military after it seized power in 2021, had pardoned 3,113 prisoners, including 98 foreigners who will be deported. Mass prisoner releases are common on major holidays.An official from Yangon’s Insein Prison, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to release information, said the number and names of people to be freed from the country’s largest penitentiary was not yet known. The releases were expected to begin Monday.Some 17,460 political detainees, including Myanmar’s former civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi, were in detention as of last Wednesday, according to the Assistance...

Kyiv denies Wagner Bakhmut claim, Russia says forces advancing

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:04:31 GMT

Ukraine vs Russia fought over the control of Bakhmut by the Kremlin, which has been the focus of Moscow's attempts to invade eastern Ukraine for months.The Ukrainian military claimed it had "considerably" over 20% of the city under its control. Yevgeny Privozhin's claim that his Wagner mercenary team had seized more Bakhmut than 80% was false, the military stated.Russia's Defence Ministry countered that Wagner forces had taken three blocks of the city. It claimed that Russian forces had attacked Ukrainian army reserves in an attempt to break through.Russia's military retreated from an attempt to advance on Kyiv last January in what Moscow calls "special military operations". It has now primarily focused on the capture of Bakhmut, a stepstone to further west in Donetsk.However, its gains were largely incremental and have been made over many months. Prigozhin made a few premature announcements regarding Wagner's position at Bakhmut.Serhiy Cherevatyi (spokesperson for Ukraine's Eastern...
