Far and away, utility customers in regulated electricity markets are paying less for power. The most recent tally for 2024 shows overcharges ranging up to $480 per residential account. In aggregate, Americans in retail choice markets paid almost $4 billion in overcharges to receive the same electrons that everyone else receives. In “Caveat Emptor: America’s $48 Billion Competitive Retail Electricity Bust,” author Laurel Peltier, using data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, shows cost differentials in service areas where consumers can choose to buy from a chosen retailer or from the incumbent, pr

More specifically, it’s a minimum-salary agreement between Nance and the Pacers. By virtue of being an 11-year veteran, Nance qualifies for the largest possible minimum salary in the NBA, which comes in at $3.88 million for the coming season. If he’s signed to a one-year deal, the Pacers will only carry a cap hit of $2.45 million, with the difference in those two numbers being reimbursed by the NBA. Nance, 33, spent last season with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Topline Meta edged past Tesla in market value Wednesday—not because Meta’s stock rose, but because Tesla’s fell harder—setting up Meta’s earnings report later this month as a test of whether the tech giant’s big spending on artificial intelligence is paying off. Meta shares topped Tesla’s market value by more than $50 million. Photo illustration by Cheng Xin/Getty Images Key Facts Meta’s total market value crossed above Tesla’s on Wednesday, with Meta shares trading at $605.16 as of 1:25 p.m. EDT—giving the company a market value of over $1.5 trillion.

The post World Cup Brands Battle Hydration Own Goals And Scoring With Stories appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Story telling is in but hydration breaks have left fans cold. (Photo by Francois Nel/Getty Images) Getty Images The 2026 FIFA World Cup has become a battle between brands as retailers and food and beverage companies, have offered up a masterclass in what modern sports marketing should look like…and what doesn’t play well. The biggest winners have been brands that understand soccer fans don’t just consume matches anymore but content, memes, social media and shared experiences. The losers are those that have mistaken sponsorship for engagement or, worse still, become associated with the tournament’s growing commercialization, anathema to many European fans especially. No issue better illustrates that tension than FIFA’s controversial hydration breaks. Touted as a player welfare measure amid concerns over summer temperatures, the mandatory three-minute stoppages have instead
