Oregon Scrambles to Save Green Projects as Trump’s Tax Credit Axe Falls

Oregon Scrambles to Save Green Projects as Trump’s Tax Credit Axe Falls

In Washington D.C., a dramatic policy U-turn has thrown the U.S. renewable energy industry into a race against time. In mid-2025, President Donald Trump signed a sweeping measure – informally known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act – that ends or shrinks federal tax credits for clean energy much sooner than expected propublica.org. This law set hard end-dates for the generous incentives that wind and solar developers rely on. Under the Act, projects can still qualify for the Investment Tax Credit or Production Tax Credit if they break ground by July 4, 2026 and finish construction by 2030 propublica.org. Any project that hasn’t started by that mid-2026 deadline must be fully operational by December 31, 2027 to get even a partial credit propublica.org. After that, no federal credits – which often cover 30–50% of a project’s cost – will be available opb.org.

Silver Soars to Record Highs as Gold Hits $4,000 – Is the $50 Barrier Next?

Silver Soars to Record Highs as Gold Hits $4,000 – Is the $50 Barrier Next?

Silver’s ascent in 2025 has been nothing short of stunning. The metal started the year in the low $30s but went on a blistering rally, now hovering just below the once-mythical $50/oz mark. On October 8, spot silver spiked to an intraday record ~$49.57 before settling around $49.4 reuters.com. By October 9, it traded near $49 – territory not seen in 14 years and only a sliver below silver’s nominal all-time peak financialexpress.com. This surge has propelled silver to roughly 70% gains in 2025, vastly outperforming most asset classes including its sister metal gold reuters.com. Such outsized returns have rapidly narrowed the long-standing gold–silver ratio. That ratio – which hovered around 100:1 during parts of 2023 – has compressed to ~82:1 as silver played catch-up to gold’s move financialexpress.com. In other words, it now takes only 82 ounces of silver to equal the value of one ounce of gold, the tightest spread in about a year, reflecting silver’s strong outperformance of late.

Government Shutdown Shocker: TSA PreCheck & Global Entry Roll On as Flights Face Delays

Government Shutdown Shocker: TSA PreCheck & Global Entry Roll On as Flights Face Delays

After a congressional budget impasse, parts of the U.S. government shut down on Oct. 1, 2025. Many federal agencies closed or reduced operations. Crucially for travelers, aviation security and safety personnel are deemed “essential” – so airports have not closed and flights are still operating thriftytraveler.com. TSA screening checkpoints remain open at airports nationwide, and air traffic controllers are on the job guiding planes. This prevents an immediate aviation standstill. “Travelers don’t have to worry about canceling trips” due to the shutdown in the short run, one expert explains nerdwallet.com.
