Midwest Alliance for Clean Hydrogen (MachH2) Signs Cooperative Agreement with US Department of Energy (DOE), Moves into Phase 1 – Today, the (MachH2) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) officially announced the signing of a cooperative agreement with the DOE’s Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) for Phase 1 award status, ushering in the next generation of clean energy and clean manufacturing across the Midwest, powered by clean hydrogen. MachH2 is part of the Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs (H2Hubs) Program managed by OCED. As part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, OCED selected seven H2Hubs across the country to begin Phase 1 award negotiations for up to $7 billion in funding across the four phases, one of the largest investments in jobs and clean manufacturing in American history. As part of MachH2’s Phase 1 award status, the hub will receive $22.2 million in initial federal funding. Phase 1 is expected to last between 12 to 18 months and is anticipated to include planning, design, development, and community and labor engagement activities. Projects participating in the hub are expected to produce over 1,000 metric tons per day (MTPD) of clean hydrogen at scale. These plans and the viability of certain projects are subject to, among other considerations, guidance from the U.S. Treasury Department regarding eligibility for the clean hydrogen production tax credit under Section 45V of the U.S. Tax Code. Dr. CEO of MachH2, said : “By moving into Phase 1 with $22.2 million in federal funding, MachH2 will help accelerate the clean hydrogen economy and we are looking forward to working with communities throughout the Midwest to deliver the benefits of the clean energy future. We are also appreciative to the DOE for its commitment to ensuring there is a robust clean hydrogen marketplace ready to meet the demand.” MachH2 represents a network of clean hydrogen production, distribution, and consumption sites across the Midwest – including in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Michigan – that will leverage diverse and abundant energy sources, including nuclear energy, natural gas with carbon capture, and renewable energy. The hub comprises eight projects led by nine subrecipients: Air Liquide; BP; Constellation Energy; GTI Energy; Invenergy; Mass Transportation Authority-Flint; Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy; Midwest Hydrogen Corridor Coalition; and Nicor Energy Ventures Company (NEV), an affiliate of Northern Illinois Gas Company (Nicor Gas).During Phase 1, MachH2 will determine project locations across the region, including the potential to expand into additional Midwestern states. , said: “Through the advancement of the Midwest Alliance for Clean Hydrogen, we are entering a partnership that will build on our record of accomplishment here at home and throughout the Midwest, The development of a robust clean hydrogen economy, a key component of the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act, represents the decisive action that is necessary to curb the devastating effects of climate change. Our fleet of always-on nuclear power plants in Illinois is helping to power our economic growth with clean energy today and positions us to be a leader in the clean hydrogen future. With this milestone, the entire country is one step closer to realizing cleaner energy and cleaner industry than ever before. I am thankful to the Department of Energy and our MachH2 partners for their collaboration on this effort and I look forward to continuing my administration’s support for the hub’s success.” , said : “We enjoy a long, proud history of manufacturing and transportation – which also happens to be the life blood of America. With these new resources we will continue to lead the nation through our shared commitments to job creation, economic investment and innovation, I‘m proud to join other heartland states as a member of MachH2. Today’s Phase 1 award announcement brings our hydrogen hub one step closer to generating thousands of local, family-sustaining careers well into the future.” , said: “The hydrogen hub offers the opportunity to grow our national economy, and I look forward to working with other hub leaders across the Midwest.” , said : “Today’s partnership between MachH2 and the DOE will help us grow Michigan’s economy, meet our climate goals, and uplift families in every corner of Michigan. I am thrilled to see how this announcement will make a difference for communities across Michigan and bring down $1 billion in federal investment. Let’s keep working together to show the world that Michigan is the best place to build a cleaner, greener future.” As part of the cooperative agreement with OCED, MachH2 has committed to a community benefits package that aims to mitigate potential impacts of this project and encourage a more equitable distribution of energy system benefits across the region, including by generating an anticipated 12,000 jobs in construction and permanent operations over the project’s lifetime with family-supporting wages, enabling new job training and educational opportunities, providing long-term career pathways in the Hydrogen and clean energy industry, and stimulating local and regional economic development. MachH2, alongside , are the fourth and fifth H2Hubs to sign cooperative agreements with the DOE and progress to Phase 1, joining from California, from the Pacific Northwest, and from the Appalachian region. the latest news shaping the hydrogen market at Midwest Alliance for Clean Hydrogen (MachH2) Signs Cooperative Agreement with US Department of Energy (DOE), Moves into Phase 1, Biden-Harris Administration Announces Awards for Up to $2,2 Billion for Two Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs to Bolster America’s Globa Syensqo, a science company focused on developing groundbreaking solutions that support...

Oscar Health director Elbert Robinson sells $426,250 in stockMADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin is targeting Kansas’ Jeff Grimes as its next offensive coordinator, a source briefed on the discussions told The Athletic . ESPN first reported that Wisconsin was targeting Grimes. Grimes has more than 30 years of coaching experience and has served as an offensive coordinator for the past seven seasons, at BYU (2018-20), Baylor (2021-23) and Kansas (2024). His background fits with more of the power run roots that Wisconsin coach Luke Fickell said he was looking for in his next offensive coordinator. Advertisement Fickell said Wednesday that he wanted Wisconsin’s offense to be more of a pro-style system that allowed the Badgers to play primarily out of the shotgun while also running six to 10 snaps a game from under center. He also wanted to utilize some heavier personnel sets after two seasons with an air raid variation under former offensive coordinator Phil Longo. “Our ability to be multiple and maybe be a little bit different from what we’ve seen the last two years I think is really important,” Fickell said. “But we don’t want to throw away the things we’ve done the last two years. Our ability to be better in the passing game because of what we’ve done the last two years is really going to be good. Our ability to acquire skill levels over the last two years gives us a greater opportunity to still play with those guys on the field if they’re our best 11 guys, which I think they are.” Grimes largely has served as an offensive coordinator, a run game coordinator and as an offensive line coach. That likely means Wisconsin also will target a separate quarterbacks coach, which is something Fickell also noted was a possibility. Longo was both the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for Wisconsin.

Grimes coached the offensive line at programs such as Boise State (2000), Arizona State (2001-03), BYU (2004-06), Colorado (2007-08), Auburn (2009-12), Virginia Tech (2013) and LSU (2014-17) before earning his first job as an offensive coordinator at BYU in 2018. Kansas opened the season ranked No. 22 in the Associated Press poll but lost five consecutive games early and finished 5-7. The Jayhawks ranked 13th nationally in rushing offense (211.4 yards per game), 44th in total offense (420.2 yards per game), tied for 53rd in scoring offense (29.7 points) and 88th in passing offense (208.6 yards per game). Kansas running back Devin Neal rushed for 1,266 yards and 16 touchdowns this season, though he also rushed for 1,280 yards and 16 touchdowns the previous season before Grimes arrived. Advertisement Grimes did help lead BYU to an 11-1 season in 2020 when the Cougars averaged 43.5 points per game and quarterback Zach Wilson ranked third nationally in passing yards and touchdowns. His first two Baylor teams in 2021 and 2022 both averaged more than 30 points per game and the 2021 Bears won the Big 12 championship and the Sugar Bowl. Grimes will have a big challenge ahead of him in restoring Wisconsin’s offense, which faltered under Longo, who was fired after 23 games . Wisconsin’s scoring offense of 22.6 points per game ranked tied for 107th nationally and was only slightly better than the 22.5 points it averaged last season. Those are the two worst seasons for Wisconsin consecutively since 1991 and 1992. Wisconsin’s run game also struggled to consistently thrive and ranked 78th in the country (153.7 yards per game).

Air Force secures 69-61 win against Stony BrookGuessing game over Trump's Treasury pick adds to US bond market's negative moodBritain's leader Keir Starmer makes his first trip to the Gulf as prime minister from Sunday, seeking to attract investment from the region's oil-rich states, Downing Street announced. Starmer will first visit the United Arab Emirates and then travel to Saudi Arabia, before stopping off in Cyprus on his way back to London on Tuesday in a bid "to build closer ties and drive long term UK growth". The trip to Abu Dhabi and Riyadh comes as his Labour government pursues a free-trade deal with the Gulf Cooperation Council's six nations: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and UAE. "There is huge untapped potential in this region, which is why, while here, I will be making the case to accelerate progress on the Gulf Cooperation Council Free Trade Agreement," Starmer said in a statement released Saturday. The meetings will also aim to "deepen our research and development collaboration" and partner on projects in areas including defence and artificial intelligence, Starmer added. The British leader will land in the UAE on Sunday evening, ahead of Monday morning talks with its president Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Later Monday, Starmer will fly to Saudi Arabia to meet Riyadh's de facto leader Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who last week hosted French President Emmanuel Macron. A Downing Street press release called the UAE and Saudi "some of the UK's most vital modern-day partners". The regional tour will end on Tuesday with Starmer meeting President Nikos Christodoulides in Nicosia, the first bilateral talks between the leaders of Britain and Cyprus in over five decades. Starmer is also due to address British troops stationed in Cyprus. Labour has staked its credibility on a promise to get Britain's sluggish economy firing again. It says a GCC agreement could boost bilateral trade, currently accounting for GBP55 billion ($70 bn) of UK trade, by 16 percent, "potentially adding an extra GBP8.6 billion a year in the long run". It hopes a deal would see Gulf sovereign wealth funds invest in a range of sectors, including energy and infrastructure, while also opening up lucrative markets to British firms. Starmer's trip comes after Britain last week rolled out the diplomatic red carpet for Qatar's emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani who enjoyed a state visit to the UK. Starmer discussed trade with the royal during talks in Downing Street that coincided with Qatar announcing it will invest GBP1 billion ($1.3 billion) in British climate technologies. Discussing regional conflicts is expected to be "high up the agenda", including the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, the fragile ceasefire in Lebanon and renewed unrest in Syria. Starmer will also be looking to repair relations between the UK and UAE that soured under the previous Conservative government after an Abu Dhabi-backed bid to buy the Telegraph newspaper failed. The Gulf visit will be Starmer's 15th international trip since he entered Number 10 on July 5. Opponents have criticised the amount of time he has spent out of the country but allies insist the trips have been vital to get to know other world leaders. Starmer, 61, has been insisting in capitals that "Britain is back on the world stage" following rancour over its departure from the European Union.

Netflix will have one of its biggest days Wednesday since the site launched in 1998 when it airs two NFL games for the first time. “NFL Christmas Gameday on Netflix” begins with a two-hour pregame show at 11 a.m., before Pittsburgh hosts Kansas City. Baltimore faces Houston in the second game. The streaming giant agreed to a three-year contract in May to carry Christmas Day games. Where will the games be available? Netflix’s 282.3 million subscribers in over 190 countries will be able to stream the games, marking the first time one outlet has distributed an NFL game globally. Netflix will have the games available in five languages — English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and German. The games will also air on CBS affiliates in Kansas City, Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Houston. NFL policy dictates that games on cable or being exclusively streamed must also be on an over-the-air station in the competing teams’ markets. It will also be available on mobile devices in the U.S. for those who have NFL+. Why is the NFL putting Christmas Day games on a streaming platform? The biggest reason is money. The league is getting $150 million from Netflix for the two games this season. It also continues the NFL’s moves into streaming — Thursday night games are in their third season on Amazon Prime Video and the “Sunday Ticket” package moved to YouTube TV last year. But Christmas is on a Wednesday when games usually aren’t played. That’s true, but the league wasn’t about to give up Christmas after seeing the ratings. Last year’s three games averaged 28.68 million viewers. The early afternoon contest between the Las Vegas Raiders and Chiefs led the way, averaging 29.48 million. The Chiefs, Steelers, Ravens and Texans played on Saturday, giving them the same turnaround they would have if they played on Sunday and then Thursday. What is at stake for the teams playing? All four have clinched playoff spots in the AFC, but seeding remains up for grabs. Kansas City (14-1) can clinch the top seed — which would mean a first-round bye and home field throughout the playoffs — with a win over the Steelers. Pittsburgh and Baltimore are tied atop the AFC North at 10-5, with the Steelers holding the tiebreaker due to a better conference record. Houston (9-6) has wrapped up the AFC South and holds the fourth seed. Has Netflix fixed its streaming problems from the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson fight? Netflix hopes so. Brandon Riegg, Netflix’s vice president of nonfiction series and sports, said the system was stress tested, and then some, during the Nov. 14 bout, along with internet service providers reporting they were also overwhelmed by the surge that occurred before and during the fight. The bout peaked at 65 million concurrent streams, including 38 million concurrent streams in the United States. According to the website Down Detector, nearly 85,000 viewers logged problems with outages or streaming leading up to and during the fight. Could there be the same number streaming the games that there were during the fight? Possible? Yes. Likely? No. The largest audience for a streamed-exclusive NFL game was 23 million on Peacock for last season’s AFC wild-card game between the Miami Dolphins and Chiefs. Nielsen will measure the ratings for the Christmas Day games, with early numbers expected late afternoon on Thursday. When could there be surge in demand on Wednesday? It will probably beat kickoff for both games, but especially around 5:45 p.m. EST. That would be near halftime of the Ravens-Texans game, and when Beyoncé will be performing. What other celebrities will appear? Mariah Carey will kick off the day with a taped performance of “All I Want for Christmas is You.” There is no word if Taylor Swift will make the trip to Pittsburgh to watch her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Swift has been spending time in Kansas City since she wrapped up her Eras Tour two weeks ago. How many Christmas games will Netflix carry in the next two seasons? The NFL will have at least two games on Dec. 25 in 2025 and ’26, with Netflix slated to have at least one each year. Amazon Prime Video will have a night game with Christmas on a Thursday next year. Does Netflix have an interest in other sports? Netflix’s worldwide partnership with World Wrestling Entertainment will begin on Jan. 6 when “Monday Night Raw” moves to the streaming service. On Friday, Netflix secured the U.S. rights for the 2027 and 2031 FIFA Women’s World Cup. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl
