At first glance, the Bizmax office in Jerusalem’s Romema district looks much like any other start-up accelerator. Computer screens flicker in glass-fronted cubicles. In the kitchen, a young entrepreneur is dosing up on caffeine.But Bizmax’s mission is anything but generic: set up five years ago, its aim is to bring men from the ultra-Orthodox Haredi community — which has traditionally shunned many of the trappings of modern life — into Israel’s tech-fuelled economy. And as I wander further through the office, this melding of worlds is increasingly apparent. Pictures of elderly rabbis and religiously-inspired motivational quotes adorn the walls. “Be…

This week I am heading to Washington for the autumn meeting of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. It could be an intense week: with the world teetering on the edge of an economic slump, an energy crisis, emerging market defaults — and nuclear war threats — the ministers have much to discuss. But there are also a number of important issues for the sustainability community to watch. One is the degree to which big banks, such as JPMorgan, are still ready to cut carbon emissions — given the rising tensions over the recently tightened UN guidelines (see our…

Will this be the deal that breaks Elon Musk? He’s a risk-taker which has proven to be a good thing in many ways. Businesses like Tesla, SpaceX, and Starlink would have either failed or failed to launch successfully without him. However, most of his businesses are also at risk, often because of Musk’s moves. For instance, Tesla sales appeared to drop off a cliff when Musk first announced his desire to acquire Twitter and make changes that Tesla buyers seemed to disagree with. This action showcased a relatively strong interrelationship between Musk’s behavior, good or bad, and the success of…

CNN  —  Requests for Barack Obama are pouring in from Democrats around the country – candidates are desperate for his help in what they feel is an existential midterms battle, one in which each race could help determine control of Congress and governments in the states. To these candidates, American democracy itself is on the line. And while Obama agrees with them on the stakes, many of those invitations are about to get turned down. More than a dozen advisers and others who have spoken with Obama say the former president’s approach in the fall campaign will remain limited and…

London CNN Business  —  UK Finance Minister Kwasi Kwarteng will try to avoid spooking investors a second time when he publishes details of plans to tackle ballooning government debt and kickstart economic growth on Halloween. Kwarteng announced the Oct. 31 date in a letter to the Treasury on Monday, pulling his midterm budget forward by more than three weeks in an attempt to reassure rattled markets and rebellious party colleagues. He also confirmed that the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), the independent fiscal watchdog, will publish its assessment of the budget on the same day. Investors have been awaiting clarity…

Austria has filed a legal challenge over the inclusion of nuclear energy and natural gas on the European Union’s list of “green” investments.”What I oppose with all my might is the attempt to greenwash nuclear power and gas via the backdoor of a supplementary delegated act,” Leonore Gewessler, Austria’s Federal Minister for Climate Protection, Environment and Energy, told reporters. “I think it is irresponsible and unreasonable. From our point of view, it is also not legal,” she added.Austria had previously stated it would take legal action within hours of the European Parliament backing the EU plan to include nuclear and gas in the…

During the Mets-Padres playoff series, ESPN’s Karl Ravech talked too much, while David Cone did not speak enough. That was the biggest issue with the Sunday Night Baseball booth this past weekend. For the Mets’ series, Ravech, Cone and Eduardo Perez had the unenviable task of replacing Gary Cohen, Keith Hernandez and Ron Darling. The SNB crew wasn’t great. Studio guy: Ravech is more of a studio guy than a play-by-player. He narrates the game instead of calling it. He…
