To date, according to the U s. Department of energy Global Energy storage Database, the Brits currently have a grand total of 32 projects,
That claim comes from a note published by Morgan stanley, in which analysts said certain dealers"would be delighted with deregulation."
Green energy Storage has attracted already around half a million dollars of share capital and is close to securing tens of millions more, Aliquò revealed.
The money will come from philanthropists, universities, big banks and environmental nonprofits. The committed funds are more than double the goal of the President Obama Clean energy Investment Initiative that was announced earlier this year.
The Treasury will also initialize rules around program-related investments (PRIS), a type of investment via which charities can fund for-profit companies that are addressing environmental issues.

#Over 100 banks hit by sophisticated cyberattack: report The Japan Times WASHINGTON A sophisticated global cyberattack struck more than 100 banks in 30 countries stealing hundreds of millions of dollars The New york times reported Saturday.
Citing a soon to be released report from computer security company Kaspersky Lab the newspaper said the attack involved malicious software that gave hackers long-term access to banking systems.
A group of Russians Chinese and Europeans was able to siphon off around $300 million in one of the world s largest bank robberies the report said.
The money was transferred to bank accounts around the world in small-value amounts to avoid detection.
Hackers largely focused on banks in Russia but millions of dollars were taken also from banks in Japan The netherlands Switzerland
and the United states as well The Times said. Hackers had advanced such access to the banks systems that they could force ATM MACHINES to dispense cash at specific times

#Greece debt talks collapse and EU leaders prepare for state of emergency from runaway market panic (Naturalnews) Debt talks to resolve Greece's ongoing financial crisis are going nowhere,
Greek officials and creditors to the nation have drawn lines in their positions, diminishing hopes for a settlement that would avoid a default on billions of euros that the Mediterranean nation owes following a financial bailout a few years ago.
The stalled negotiations have prompted Germany's EU commissioner to declare that the time had come for a"state of emergency"after Left-wing Greek Prime minister Alexis Tsipras ignored pleas from other European leaders to act quickly.
Instead, he put the blame on creditors whom he said were responsible for the breakdown in talks

Mastercard has partnered with smartphone makers and is finalizing plans with a major bank to launch the experimental trial,
which will be limited to 500 users. If all goes well, however, the credit card company plans on launching the technology for the public.
