CBRE Group Inc. Cl A stock rises Tuesday, outperforms marketFox News Digital spoke to Gabriella Hoffman, Independent Women’s Forum Center for Energy & Conservation Director, about what she hopes the Trump administration will prioritize in the energy sector President-elect Trump is expected by many of his supporters to preside over an energy "boom" in the United States by slashing Biden administration regulations, and one industry expert told Fox News Digital that she is encouraged by Trump’s energy sector cabinet nominees while outlining specific moves she hopes to see over the next four years. " I think the three cabinet picks that Trump has so far chosen to lead EPA, Interior and Energy are a vast improvement to who we have currently in those respective positions," Gabriella Hoffman, Independent Women’s Forum Center for Energy & Conservation Director, told Fox News Digital. "They're going to be taking a more tactful approach to energy development. They're not going to be keeping things in the ground. They're going to be prioritizing reliable energy sources like coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear even, and most recently, geothermal has also taken a renewed interest by Congress, and we will probably see geothermal as well unleashed. But also there's going to be this balance of this energy abundant mindset with promoting land stewardship, expanding hunting and fishing opportunities, expanding ocean access, and reevaluating so-called clean energy projects that promise to be greener or are believed to be green but actually might be worse for the environment and don't produce enough reliable energy or electricity." Hoffman told Fox News Digital the country is going to see a "reassessment of what conservation looks like" that is "balanced out by this robust kind of development of energy here in the United States. I KNOW WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP’S ENERGY POLICY WILL BE. I USED TO RUN HIS ENERGY REGULATORY AGENCY President-elect Trump has vowed to unleash American energy (Getty Images) "So it's going to be great for the economy, we believe. As a center, we believe it's going to lead to better national security with more energy being produced here. We're going to be less reliant on countries that produce certain energy sources less cleanly, less environmentally friendly than we do." In recent days, President-elect Trump has named former Republican Congressman Lee Zeldin to head the EPA, Liberty Energy CEO Chris Wright to head the Energy Department, and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum to oversee the Interior Department. Hoffman outlined several top line agenda items that her center hopes to see from the three departments.

(AP Photo/Evan Vucci, File) " Emphasizing reliable energy production, moving away from sources that are subsidized like solar and wind to reliable sources that don't really need to be subsidized or that are actually very plentiful and can be extracted safely and responsibly here in the United States," Hoffman said. "Another priority is to kind of clamp down on this regulatory overreach we have seen across all three agencies. We have seen them take extreme positions with devising so-called tailpipe emissions standards, all these different green energy efficiency, household appliance directives. We've seen them take extreme positions on policies like the America the Beautiful Plan, or the 30 by 30 plan to protect so-called 30% of waters in lands by 2030, which is a very extreme position, not rooted in conservation whatsoever. It's a control mechanism, not a conservation tool." Hoffman said she anticipates a "return back to true conservation" under Trump "where you don't see environmentalist groups suing agencies in perpetuity to block different measures of progress to go into effect." Trump often vowed on the campaign trail to unleash an energy boom in the United States by slashing regulations and expanding drilling in the United States and Hoffman told Fox News Digital she is optimistic that will happen. ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS PRESENT DIFFERING OPINIONS OF TRUMP'S ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT APPOINTEES A Valero refinery in Benicia, California, US (David Paul Morris) " Our center is very optimistic that there will be an energy boom," Hoffman said. "It's not going to happen overnight, but it could be seen within a couple of months. I think realistically, once we hit the six-month mark, perhaps the year-end mark if President-elect Trump is going to be able to repeal some of the Biden-Harris directives as it relates to all the climate measures, the day one executive orders are really going to be a weight off of the administrative state’s shoulders and then all other policies that emanate from that tackling the climate crisis executive order will similarly be probably clamped down." Trump has for months vowed to "undo" the Inflation Reduction Act, the Democrats' marquee climate and clean energy spending legislation that allocates $369 billion in subsidies aimed at re-shoring investments for electric vehicle manufacturing and battery production as well as new utility-scale wind and solar projects. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Hoffman told Fox News Digital that repealing the IRA will be critical to unleashing American energy despite possible opposition from some Republicans in Congress who like certain aspects of the bill. "For gas prices, electricity prices to truly be lowered, you're going to have to see that law terminated or repealed, because that is what invited a lot of the so-called energy or environmental inflation," Hoffman said. "These higher prices at the pump, higher utility bills, higher food costs, because everything emanates from energy, transportation, food delivery, things of that sort. So that law really does have to be kind of called into question. And perhaps Trump will work with Congress to ensure that that is repealed." Hoffman also explained that a focus on nuclear energy will be critical over the next four years. "It is a really safe technology, especially produced here, and we don't want China or Russia to have an edge," Hoffman said. Fox News Digital’s Breanne Deppisch contributed to this report.

WASHINGTON — A former FBI informant who is charged with fabricating a multimillion-dollar bribery scheme involving President Joe Biden’s family has been indicted in a new case on federal tax charges. The tax indictment against Alexander Smirnov was unsealed this week in California federal court, months after his arrest on charges that he fabricated a multimillion-dollar bribery scheme involving Joe Biden, his son Hunter and a Ukrainian energy company. The indictment brought by Justice Department special counsel David Weiss charges Smirnov with tax evasion and filing false tax returns, accusing him of concealing millions of dollars of income he earned between 2020 and 2022. Smirnov’s attorneys, David Chesnoff and Richard Schonfeld, said in an email Tuesday that their client “intends to vigorously fight these allegations with the same intensity as he has fought the original indictment.” Smirnov’s trial was recently pushed to Jan. 8 in the case charging him with lying about the Biden family. Smirnov has denied the allegations in that case. Prosecutors have alleged that he falsely reported to the FBI in June 2020 that executives associated with the Ukrainian energy company Burisma paid Hunter Biden and Joe Biden $5 million each in 2015 or 2016. Smirnov told his handler that an executive claimed to have hired Hunter Biden to “protect us, through his dad, from all kinds of problems,” according to court documents. Prosecutors say Smirnov in fact had only routine business dealings with the company in 2017 and made the bribery allegations after he “expressed bias” against Joe Biden while he was a presidential candidate. Hunter Biden is scheduled to be sentenced next month in two separate criminal cases accusing him of a scheme to avoid at least $1.4 million in taxes and lying on a federal form when he bought a gun in 2018.Dibba scores 19 in Southern Illinois' 73-70 win against Southern Indiana

By JUAN A. LOZANO, Associated Press HOUSTON (AP) — An elaborate parody appears to be behind an effort to resurrect Enron, the Houston-based energy company that exemplified the worst in American corporate fraud and greed after it went bankrupt in 2001. If its return is comedic, some former employees who lost everything in Enron’s collapse aren’t laughing. “It’s a pretty sick joke and it disparages the people that did work there. And why would you want to even bring it back up again?” said former Enron employee Diana Peters, who represented workers in the company’s bankruptcy proceedings. Here’s what to know about the history of Enron and the purported effort to bring it back. Once the nation’s seventh-largest company, Enron filed for bankruptcy protection on Dec. 2, 2001, after years of accounting tricks could no longer hide billions of dollars in debt or make failing ventures appear profitable. The energy company’s collapse put more than 5,000 people out of work, wiped out more than $2 billion in employee pensions and rendered $60 billion in Enron stock worthless. Its aftershocks were felt throughout the energy sector. Twenty-four Enron executives , including former CEO Jeffrey Skilling , were eventually convicted for their roles in the fraud. Enron founder Ken Lay’s convictions were vacated after he died of heart disease following his 2006 trial. On Monday — the 23rd anniversary of the bankruptcy filing — a company representing itself as Enron announced in a news release that it was relaunching as a “company dedicated to solving the global energy crisis.” It also posted a video on social media, advertised on at least one Houston billboard and a took out a full-page ad in the Houston Chronicle In the minute-long video that was full of generic corporate jargon, the company talks about “growth” and “rebirth.” It ends with the words, “We’re back. Can we talk?” Enron’s new website features a company store, where various items featuring the brand’s tilted “E” logo are for sale, including a $118 hoodie. In an email, company spokesperson Will Chabot said the new Enron was not doing any interviews yet, but that “We’ll have more to share soon.” Signs point to the comeback being a joke. In the “terms of use and conditions of sale” on the company’s website, it says “the information on the website about Enron is First Amendment protected parody, represents performance art, and is for entertainment purposes only.” Documents filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office show that College Company, an Arkansas-based LLC, owns the Enron trademark. The co-founder of College Company is Connor Gaydos, who helped create a joke conspiracy theory that claims all birds are actually surveillance drones for the government. Peters said that since learning about the “relaunch” of Enron, she has spoken with several other former employees and they are also upset by it. She said the apparent stunt was “in poor taste.” “If it’s a joke, it’s rude, extremely rude. And I hope that they realize it and apologize to all of the Enron employees,” Peters said. Peters, who is 74 years old, said she is still working in information technology because “I lost everything in Enron, and so my Social Security doesn’t always take care of things I need done.” “Enron’s downfall taught us critical lessons about corporate ethics, accountability, and the consequences of unchecked ambition. Enron’s legacy was the employees in the trenches. Leave Enron buried,” she said. Follow Juan A. Lozano on X at https://x.com/juanlozano70Arsenal secured a huge 5-1 win in the Champions League away at Sporting, with multiple players impressing. Jurrien Timber & Riccardo Calafiori both shone against Lisbon, which led to Arsenal supporters to sing their praises. Arsenal need to keep them fit to maintain momentum, according to many onlookers. After Arsenal made it two wins out of two on their return to action after the international break as they ran out 5-1 winners over Sporting in the Champions League on Tuesday night, it isn't their attacking players that are grabbing all the attention. Instead, it was the commendable work done by their full-backs, Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori . In the modern game, the full-back position has grown increasingly pivotal, as exemplified by the transformative impact of Andrew Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold on Liverpool's sustained success in recent years. While Arsenal have often grappled with finding their own solution to this tactical advantage—struggling with players like Oleksandr Zinchenko falling short of expectations—their midweek performance offered a glimpse of hope, easing concerns in an area of the pitch they once looked lost in. The victory followed closely on the heels of a commanding 3-0 triumph over Nottingham Forest at the weekend. Though Mikel Arteta's side remain nine points adrift of the Premier League summit, this week has been nothing short of perfect for Arsenal. With momentum building, they will now feel they’ve uncovered yet another crucial piece of the puzzle in their pursuit of that long-awaited major honour in the club's post-Arsene Wenger era. The defender was spotted imitating the striker and fans think there's a good reason for that Jurrien Timber & Riccardo Calafiori's Performances After just seven minutes, Timber picked the ball up on the right and sent a delivery across goal which Gabriel Martinelli tapped in at the back post. Arsenal then got a second in the 22nd minute as Timber set Thomas Partey up for a lofted pass into the path of Saka, who poked past Franco Israel for Kai Havertz to tap in. The Dutchman, who was out for the majority of last season through an ACL injury, was initially brought in as a potential replacement or understudy to Gabriel in the middle of defence. However, it's safe to say life at right-back hasn't treated the 23-year-old too badly. His all-around defensive qualities, the intensity in which he presses, and his quality in the final third has earned him shouts from the Emirates faithful for being the best signing they've seen in recent years . Riccardo Calafiori, meanwhile, has left fans with a similar impression from the opposite flank. After a successful Euro 2024 campaign, which saw the Italian become a constant threat from deep, he has brought that pizzazz to north London early into his new surroundings after the club navigated one of the best summer transfer windows among their rivals. Against Sporting, the 22-year-old bombed up and down the flank, making that part of the pitch his own in some ways. An impressive passing success rate of 96% placed him above anyone else on the pitch, as he also made two key passes into the final third. GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Completing 23/25 of his pass attempts, no player had a better success rate than Riccardo Calafiori on Tuesday night. What Fans Are Saying About the New Full-back Partnership After the game, numerous Arsenal fans all said the same thing about Timber and Calafiori, who both delivered incredible displays from either flank. One fan claimed that the Gunners likely would’ve won the league had Timber been fit last season, while another added: "Timber and Calafiori at FB completely takes this team to another level. The control on games is incredible." Another comment with a similar sentiment read: "Arsenal has to do whatever it takes to keep both Timber and Calafiori fit." Meanwhile, a third user added: "Timber and Calafiori are huge upgrades from White and Zinchenko", and a fourth remarked: "Timber is to Saka defensively what Calafiori is to Martinelli offensively. If these two players are fit there’s very few teams in the world who will beat us, if any at all." The Gunners are next in action on Saturday evening when they face London rivals West Ham United in a Premier League match on the road. On the same weekend, Manchester City, who are winless in six games but still viewed as Arsenal's biggest roadblock to glory, are away at Liverpool, and so the emphasis now is on Arteta's side to continue building on their head of steam.
