Let bruktbileierne get time – ABC News

For that community to keep pace with the development, we as politicians have to be more forward-looking when we should create a policy for today and tomorrow. So do we in the Progress party.

Therefore, I think it’s pretty hopeless when the other parties are based on the current fleet of vehicles when they shall adopt the environmental charges for the future. We are going to have to relate to reality. Even though it was set a new record in the nybilsalg in the year, still running the vast majority of us around in an older car, bought used.

By further increasing the total taxation level for motorists, it is not those who can afford to buy a new car that suffer the most are hit the hardest. There are people with a normal economy, who cannot afford to buy a new car.

This goes beyond the young people in the establishment phase, which imposed even more expenses because they have to use the car to drive your kids to school, or kindergarten for the day to go up.

It is namely so that the majority of the Norwegian population live outside the city, with poorly developed public transport facilities. These are completely dependent on the car to get around.

the Post is open for comments Thursday to the clock 23.

We as politicians should ensure that people choose a more environmentally friendly car by the nybilkjøp, not punish those who must purchase seats by imposing them even more fees.

the Advantage is that a car bought new today, will eventually end up like leather in a few years. When will the oldest cars scrapped in favour of a safer, more environmentally friendly and modern seats that will release less CO2. This is the natural development of the Norwegian vehicle fleets. For me it is a riddle that the other parties will take the motorists who have the least.

From 1990 to 2010, CO2 emissions per mile is cut in half from 300 grams of CO2 per kilometer, figures from Opplysningsrådet for road traffic. Since the conservative party came into government in 2013 were CO2 emissions to 120 grams, now we’re down 93.

The next years, the focus is massively on hydrogenbiler in Norway. Figures from SINTEF shows that it can be as much as 130.000 hydrogenbiler on the roads in Norway in 2030, if it can be adapted for it. The automakers have already come up with several models, and more are about to come.

the Norwegian Parliament has resolved that it should be rolled out a lot of hydrogenstasjoner, and it will help to ensure that more people will choose a hydrogenbil.

Emissions from a hydrogenbil is clean water that can be drunk! What do you do then with the politikerstyrte charges that will take motorists? Therefore believe the Progress that it is time to press the brake.

We will see that today’s vehicle fleet is slowly but surely being phased out for something more environmentally friendly. Then it is quite weird to use the current fleet when we shall lay up for the future taxes.

the Car is here to stay, so let those with an older car get a little bit of time to buy something more environmentally friendly in the long term. Society is moving steadily in a more environmentally friendly direction, and that we as politicians should do is to provide carrots in the form of avgiftslette on new cars to get up to speed on the process.

Rec Silicon may have messed up away the rights to the FBR technology – Today’s Business

Børskommentar

It is more than doubtful whether the Rec Silicon manages to cough up 169 million dollars to defend its holding in the chinese joint. It means that Rec Silicon can lose the rights to the market-leading FBR technology to the chinese.

the Article is added to your reading list.

Rec Silicon’s shares have halved in value in the year. Silisiumprisen has collapsed and the stock market fear a verdiødeleggende kriseemisjon.

Follow the development on the Oslo stock Exchange on DN Investor.

If that isn’t enough. The investment firm Carnegie believes that Rec Silicon is in danger of losing the rights to its own FBR technology. FBR stands for ” fluidized bed reactor and is a market-leading technology, Rec has developed for production of superrent silicon. Technology has for years provided Rec Silicon is a leading cost position, but now, the company is in danger of losing technology to the chinese.

“the Company states that without a solution on the handelskrigen, as this will make the Rec Silicon unable to pay their remaining installments, the equity ratio of the chinese jointventure company will be diluted accordingly. To put it another way, the company has lost control of the FBR technology since the state-owned, the chinese partner will own the majority of shares in the jointventure company,” writes Carnegie.

It was in February 2014 Rec Silicon heralding a cooperation with a chinese company to build a silicon factory in China. The new factory in China was estimated to cost 1.4 billion dollars. There is money Rec Silicon had not, and the solution was instead a fattigmannsløsning involving a joint venture with a chinese company and only limited investment obligations for the Rec. As part of the agreement was the rights to the FBR technology transferred to the chinese jointventure company.

Given a 50 per cent utilisation rate at the Moses Lake facility in the united STATES and a silisiumpris at 14 dollars per pound next year, estimates the Carnegie that Rec Silicon will be short between 120 and 140 million dollars next year. It is prior to the scheduled payment of 169 million dollars to defend its ownership in the chinese jointventure company.

he who does not know the smell of the issue here, need to take a trip to the doctor to get examined the sense of smell.

“We remain sellers of Rec Silicon and reducing our price target on the new information. Investors can risk a new egenkapitalemisjon, not only to participate in the chinese jointventure company, but in order to keep the company afloat if the current market conditions should persist,” writes Carnegie.

How will the corporations survive? – ABC News

Sixth largest vannkraftprodusent in the world

Norway’s deep fjords and high mountains makes the country a natural place to develop hydroelectric power: The first known dam was built in 1028 – in the viking age, according to Leif Lia, professor at Ntnu’s Department of hydraulic and environmental engineering.

The modern era within the Norwegian hydropower began around the last turn. Hammerfest turned on the lights with power from its own municipal power plant in 1891. In the 1920′s had all of Norway’s cities and 60 per cent of the population access to electricity, ranging from hydro-power.

today, approximately 96 percent of the electricity in Norway is from hydroelectric power generated by more than 200 energy companies, many of them small and local. Norway is the world’s sixth largest producer of hydroelectric power.

the Business world is full of fallen giants, companies like Nokia and Kodak, which was once very successful, but that dwindled away to nothing. Victims of bad decisions or problems with managing the transition to the new technology.

It is easy to look back on these disasters and wonder how the management could not foresee the technological changes that they were facing. In both Nokia and kodak’s case knew the companies what would come.

Kodak had actually developed a digital camera as far back as in 1975. But with 90 per cent of filmsalget and 85 per cent of the kamerasalget in the united STATES, it was difficult for the leaders to see any reason that they should change strategies. Nokia had also developed a smartphone as early as in 1996, but the management saw no reason to go away from the very profitable core business, the sale of traditional mobile phones, before it was too late.

Will help companies

An NTNU researcher takes a closer look at how Norway’s kraftbransje should be able to cope with markedsutfordringene from renewable energy, and changed consumer behavior:

Rikke Stoud Platou, a phd candidate at the research school in innovation, says Norway’s 100-year-old kraftbransje face the same type of fundamental changes that Nokia and Kodak both faced. Platous doktorgradsforskning is about to try to help the power industry to avoid Nokia and kodak’s fate.

the Secret behind the success she believes is something called “organizational ambidekstri”, or the ability to do two things at once. You must be able to continue to do what you already do well, while at the same time is able to exploit future opportunities.

– How should the existing, stable companies like those in the power industry, deal with the technological shift? ask Platou. – Especially when it is such a strong contrast between what they are accustomed to, and what they can expect in the future?

Changes in energilandskapet

Large or small, local or regional: Norges more than 200 energy companies face a landscape of change, ” says Platou. Renewable energy, sometimes offered by individuals rather than by a power plant or a facility, is a major impetus for change, she believes. Digitization, whether from smart meters, smart grids or other digital offerings will also drive major changes in the way consumers use energy and the way companies offer it.

People change their behaviour when it comes to the use of electricity, either by putting solar panels on the roofs or buying new, smart appliances, says Platou.

the electricity market will change dramatically in 2019 when all the households in Norway the plan is to have smart meters. Today, most electric meters that they can read as rarely as four times a year, which is not far from frequent enough to reflect actual changes in electricity prices.

With smart meters, consumers will be able to see how much power they consume daily. They can also regulate the use, so that, for example, can take advantage of lower electricity prices at certain times of the day.

the Smart grid will also create challenges. It is a distribution network that can regulate and control the variation in the power from the renewable energy that is either generated from a wind farm or from solar cells on the roof, and who thus are dependent on the weather.

– This will increase the complex’s image, says Platou. For example, an app on your phone tell you when to turn on the dishwasher, so that you can take advantage of the lowest electricity prices.

Risky to just do as you’ve done

another challenge that e-work in Norway are facing is that they have long been protected in a regulated industry. It all began to change with deregulation in the 1990s, and now consumers from all over Europe to pay a premium in order to guarantee that the power they buy is from renewable resources. It has made the Norwegian hydropower especially popular in Germany.

– In the countryside it is risky to just do what you always have done, think Of.

She points out that the whole energy industry is used to invest in projects where it can take a long time before they begin to pay off, perhaps as long as 50-60 years.

But is it sensible to make investment decisions about the network today, for example? Well, both yes and no, ” she says. – We still need this infrastructure, but for how long? Customers change quickly behaviour and maybe they don’t need, want or expect to pay for a service they perceive as unnecessary. This creates both uncertainty and complexity.

A company that will succeed must be able to maintain a core business at the same time as it takes in technological changes.

Two activities must coexist, ” she says. – It is all about finding the perfect balance between separation and integration.

to Separate and integrate

Companies can meet this challenge by making sure that the traditional branch of the business and the new branch operates independently (separation). But they also need to integrate the two branches.

A way to do this might be to create a insentivsystem so that managers ‘rewards are based on success for both branches, and thus create the integration,” she says. It creates also a sense that “if you win, I win too”.

In this context is a nøkkelfunn from study her the importance senior management.

It is important about the transition to succeed, ” she says. – It is important to take decisions about the strategic direction, and how it interprets the future.

- Industrialization created the working class, technology can create a class … – Hegnar Online

We are facing the biggest revolution for life since life’s beginnings. In the four billion years life has been reserved for the organic sphere, but now we are in the process of creating the first inorganic livsformen. Life is about to break out in the inorganic sphere, says Yuval Noah Harari has a phd in history from the University of Oxford and now teaches the subject at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

the Earth will be populated by some who are more different from us than we are from chimps

Yuval Noah Hararis book “Sapiens” has been the top selling saksprosaboken internationally in both 2014 and 2015.

Here, he’s pointing out that while in the past we have changed the world around us, we change the now, for the first time man.

About a couple of hundred years is the earth populated by some who are more different from us than we are from chimpanzees, ” says the historian who does not believe the cars and the gadgets will keep the position as the future of gigantindustri – it really big in the future will be bodies, brains and minds, he believes.

Harari avfeier the classic cautionary tales from Hollywood, where man and machine wars against each other, but rather a fusion. It does not mean that there are “dangers” in sight. Harari warns that one can create many different communities, and calls for a political process in connection with artificial intelligence.

For the first time in history we have not any idea about how human society or the human body for that matter, will look in fifty to a hundred years, ” he says.

the Labor market is one of the areas that is likely to go through major changes. And where are the people?

- Where the industrial revolution created the working class, we risk to create a class of the most useless, warns Harari.
