Climate action groups are vehemently rejecting the Biden administration's claim that the approval of a new offshore oil terminal—planned to be the largest in the U.S.—is in the "national interest," after the U.S. Department of Transportation announced the project had met several federal requirements and could begin operations by 2027.

The agency's Maritime Administration said last week that Enterprise Product Partners, a Houston-based pipeline company, had been granted a deepwater port license to build the Sea Port Oil Terminal (SPOT) near Freeport, Texas following a five-year federal review process.

The federal government determined the $1.8 billion terminal project had undergone sufficient environmental impact reviews and would overall benefit the country—even as it was projected by the Sierra Club, which has fought SPOT for several years, to emit greenhouse gases equivalent to those of nearly 90 coal-fired power plants.

"The evidence is clear that SPOT would be catastrophic to the climate, wildlife, and frontline communities of the Gulf," said Devorah Ancel, senior attorney with the Sierra Club. "It threatens the future existence of the endangered Rice's whale with a population of less than fifty, and its ozone pollution would compromise the health of thousands of Gulf residents who have endured decades of fossil fuel industry pollution. Make no mistake, SPOT is not in the national interest."

The project is expected to include two pipelines that would carry crude oil to the deepwater port each day, enabling the export of 2 million barrels of crude oil, loaded onto two supertankers at once, daily.

"Nothing about this project is in alignment with Biden's climate and environmental justice goals," said Kelsey Crane, senior policy advocate at Earthworks. "The communities that will be impacted by SPOT have once again been ignored and will be forced to live with the threat of more oil spills, explosions, and pollution. The best way to protect the public and the climate from the harms of oil is to keep it in the ground."

Allie Rosenbluth, U.S. manager at Oil Change International, noted that the project has been approved despite the International Energy Agency's clear assessment in 2021 that "all new investments in oil and gas projects must stop if the world is going to reach its climate goals," including limiting planetary heating to 1.5°C.

"The Biden administration's decision to approve the Sea Port Oil Terminal is a grave mistake. This approval will only harm local communities and ecosystems, and lead to even more devastating impacts of the climate crisis," said Rosenbluth. "The U.S. is already the largest producer of oil and gas and has the largest expansion plans globally. Instead of continuing this legacy of harm by approving fossil fuel projects, President Biden should be listening to the science and the masses of his constituents calling for an end to fossil fuels."

The direct action group Climate Defiance expressed doubt that the approval of SPOT will help Biden win over any voters as the 2024 election approaches.

Nine in 10 Democratic voters and Democratic-leaning independents told Pew Research Center last year that they believe the U.S. should prioritize developing renewable energy sources—and two-thirds of Republican voters under age 30 agreed.

"This project would be the single-largest oil export terminal in the U.S." said the group. "We are being boiled alive here, literally burned to death by 'moderate' politicians who see fit to torch us in the name of quarterly profits. How can we live like this? How can this go on?"

Last year was the hottest on record, and the first three months of 2024 have each broken records for high global temperatures. Scientists found last year that climate disasters including wildfires in Canada and extreme heat in Europe were made far more likely by fossil-fueled planetary heating.

Local organizers in Texas condemned the Biden administration's decision to ignore campaigners who have warned of the danger SPOT poses to marine habitats as well as people who live in the area where two crude oil pipelines have now been given final approval to run.

"We continue to struggle to see why Biden and [Transportation Secretary Pete] Buttigieg prefer to protect the corporate profits of billion-dollar oil giants like Enbridge and Enterprise over the hardcore objections of the people who would have to live with the consequences of pipelines criss-crossing our beaches," said Trevor Carroll, Brazoria County lead organizer with Texas Campaign for the Environment. "If you care about environmental justice and the climate, you just can't support a monstrosity like SPOT. The local community and the global climate justice movement are continuing to fight... This is not over."

Melanie Oldham, director of Better Brazoria, said SPOT will be "an oil spill waiting to happen that would not only lower property value, but harm our local ecosystems, ecotourism, beaches, recreation, and kill marine life like the endangered Rice's whale and Kemp's Ridley sea turtles."

"Those of us residents, beachgoers, and voters that have for the past four years opposed the SPOT offshore terminal and pipelines are very disappointed with the approval of the project license," said Oldham. "President Biden has again broken promises to protect frontline communities in Surfside and Freeport."

The administration's approval came three months after the White House announced it was delaying consideration of new gas export terminals, and the same day the federal government said fossil fuel companies will have to pay higher royalties in order to drill on federal lands.

But those climate actions paired with the SPOT approval amount only to "flip flopping," said Climate Defiance.

"It is not enough that the administration stopped new gas exports if they are going to back stab us with this death-sentence decision now," said the group. "This is not us being 'ungrateful.' This is the science. The pure, unvarnished, science."

Offshore Development Centre (ODC) The Complete Guide

Offshore Development Centre (ODC) The Complete Guide:

An ODC is a development company that provides you with software development services but is located in another country. It is deemed that this type of company is a subsidiary of your main company. In comparison to the country where the holding firm is headquartered, the country where ODC is located has significantly lower living standards. The ODC model has been used by IT companies to offshore the design, development, and testing of their products. The demands of clients for products that can be deployed much faster, and the limitations of in-house resources such as cost, development time, infrastructure, and availability of specialized skills are the main reasons for companies to have an ODC. The IT company as the client will partner with an offshore provider to establish an offshore team in the country of the provider

Introduction:

Are you trying to boost your company's output, organize, and manage your operations in a quicker, more affordable, and more effective manner? Look no further—an offshore development center (ODC) could be the solution to your business's process problems. We will examine an ODC's definition, operation, and advantages in further detail in this comprehensive guide. Additionally, we will offer some advice on how to organize and lead an ODC team.

What is an Offshore Development Center (ODC)?

An offshore development center is an extended, integrated, and dedicated offshore team supporting a company located in another country. An ODC is a popular business model for different kinds of companies, including startups and enterprise companies. Various corporate processes and services, including the development and upkeep of solutions and software, project management, testing and migration, and technical or customer support, have all made use of this approach.

The term "ODC" refers to a software development business that offers you services but is based elsewhere. This kind of business is thought to be an affiliate of your primary business. Comparatively speaking, the country where ODC is based has far lower living standards than the nation where the holding company is based. The ODC model has been used by IT companies to offshore the design, development, and testing of their products. The demands of clients for products that can be deployed much faster, and the limitations of in-house resources such as cost, development time, infrastructure, and availability of specialized skills are the main reasons for companies to have an ODC. The IT company as the client will partner with an offshore provider to establish an offshore team in the country of the provider.

How is ODC Different from Outsourcing?

ODC is slightly different from software outsourcing. ODC provides services or products and is located in another country, while outsourcing is a service that offers certain services or products from a third-party company, and the geographical location might not be a critical factor. The main purpose of outsourcing is to increase productivity and focus on other important tasks while saving cost can be one of the reasons, but it is not the fundamental cause. On the other hand, ODC's primary cause is to help reduce the company's expenses by utilizing the cost difference between the two countries.

However, both ODC and outsourcing share the same interest: to get access to a large talented developers pool with lower costs for development services, which allows enterprises to save funds and speeding up the productivity in recruiting, optimizing accounting, human resources, and office budgets.

Advantages of ODC:

Forming a business partnership with an ODC provider yields a lot of benefits to your company. These are the advantages of having an ODC:  

Cost Reduction:

One of the major advantages of having an ODC is cost reduction. By establishing an offshore development center, you don't have to spend on setting up office facilities and equipment, communications and IT infrastructure, and utilities because the offshore provider has already set up the necessary infrastructure. The provider can focus on hiring the members of the offshore team so a project start-up can begin much faster compared to starting everything from scratch.

Auto scaling your IT department:

Auto scaling is the process of dynamically allocating resources to match performance requirements. The number of resources that your company needs may fluctuate according to the requirements of specific projects. There are situations when projects need a large numbers of resources, and then there are times they require few resources. When those situations happen, you might have to switch and reduce resources or tasks in your in-house team, which may involve a complicated process of resources allocation. With an ODC, the allocation of resources will be less difficult because the offshore team can absorb the roles or tasks from the in-house team.

Reliable Operations:

Leading ODC companies are efficient, lean, and reliable in their operations to attract clients in a competitive market. They have efficient evaluation and reporting procedures to be accountable and transparent with their clients. Real-time evaluation and development monitoring of the projects they are working on will be possible. If you are dissatisfied with the project's results, you can demand from the ODC to redo the project with no additional costs if your contract with them stipulates this.

Timely Delivery of Projects:

An ODC operates under optimized environments and implements streamline procedures to ensure your projects are completed on time. They strictly follow the project timelines that you set for them from planning, design, development, testing, and deployment. The seamless collaboration between the in-house team and the offshore team makes it possible for the project software lifecycle to have shorter timeframes.

Technical Support and Knowledge Retention:

ODCs offer continuous technical support during the entire lifecycle of the project as part of their customer satisfaction. Their approach to knowledge retention is preserving all the knowledge gained during a project's lifecycle. The retained knowledge can be further developed and improvised so you can use it for other projects.  

Access to the Best Skills and Technology:

The best ODCs employ highly qualified IT professionals with specialized skills in developing customized software for your targeted customers. Their offshore teams.  

Conclusion:

Offshore development centers offer a cost-effective solution for custom software development. By setting up an ODC in a country where the cost of living is lower, companies can hire highly skilled professionals at a lower cost. ODCs also offer greater flexibility in project management and access to a larger talent pool. However, setting up an offshore development center requires careful planning and consideration. Companies need to identify the right country and find a reliable vendor to set up the ODC. They also need to be prepared to overcome the challenges that come with working with an offshore team. Overall, offshore development centers are a viable solution for companies looking to develop erp software without incurring the high costs of in-house

Senators Chuck Schumer and Joe Manchin shocked Washington on July 27 by announcing that they had reached a deal on a climate bill. Dubbed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, the bill includes $369 billion in spending on climate action. If passed, it would be the most important climate legislation in U.S. history and would be a key step toward the United States achieving the emissions reduction goal that U.S. President Joe Biden presented at the Glasgow climate summit in November 2021.

As you would expect, the bill has been getting a ton of attention, some of it frustratingly misleading. It represents a compromise designed to get all 50 Democratic senators on board and includes some provisions intended to be helpful to fossil fuel producers. Most notably, it requires the U.S. Department of the Interior to lease 2 million acres in federal lands onshore and 60 million acres offshore each year for oil and gas development (or whatever acreage the industry requests, whichever is smaller). These quotas must be met to allow federal leasing for onshore and offshore renewables development, respectively.

Climate benefits vastly outweigh oil and gas leasing

There is a certain irony in pairing new oil and gas development – a key cause of climate change – with development of renewable energy – a key solution. And as you might expect, some in the environmental movement are howling. “It’s self-defeating to handcuff renewable energy development to massive new oil and gas extraction,” said Brett Hartl, government affairs director at the Center for Biological Diversity, also calling the bill “a climate suicide pact.” In an online statement, a senior scientist at 350.org called the bill a “sham” and said that it “contained so many giveaways to the fossil fuel industry” that it “turns all of the gains in addressing the climate crisis into a moot point.”

But many other environmentalists and clean energy proponents are praising the bill, and the numbers support their praise. Analysis from Energy Innovation shows that for every one ton of expected emissions from the bill’s fossil fuel provisions, the bill will result in 24 tons of emissions reductions. That’s a huge net positive! A reason for the large reduction in emissions is that the bill contains provisions affecting every major emitting sector in the economy – transportation, electricity generation, industry, homes and buildings, and agriculture. There’s something for everyone, and the broad scope of the bill brings large emissions reductions.

Harnessing the power of consumer demand

Another reason for the large net positive impact on greenhouse gas emissions is less obvious, but very important. The bill aims to reduce fossil fuel demand by providing tax credits and rebates for consumers that purchase electric vehicles and energy efficient appliances, for utilities and developers that build renewable electricity and electricity storage, and for companies that build efficient factories or efficient products. Reducing fossil fuel demand is the way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

What about the fossil fuel production that the bill also seems to encourage? Well, there’s no guarantee that those acres will actually be leased if the fossil fuel industry doesn’t want them, nor that leased acres will ever actually deliver oil and gas. The oil and gas companies will make those decisions based on… wait for it… consumer demand.

The fossil fuel demand-reducing portions of the bill work at cross purposes with the fossil fuel leasing provisions. It’s an odd way to write legislation, but if that’s what it takes to pass the most important climate bill ever, so be it. As I’ve written before, ending U.S. oil and gas production is not the way to reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. The world has plenty of oil and gas (even though it doesn’t feel that way right now) and the United States will import whatever it doesn’t produce, perhaps from countries with lower environmental standards and higher greenhouse gas emissions profiles than our own. Fighting fossil fuel demand is the way to lower emissions, and this bill does just that.

Not perfect, but a good step

The bill is not perfect — legislation never is. Without Republican votes, the bill must be passed through the budget reconciliation process, which means that the bill cannot make substantive changes in law that do not have a budgetary affect. Thus, the provisions are all tax credits, fees, rebates, and the like — financial incentives to reduce emissions. The reconciliation process does not allow for direct regulation of emissions, since such regulation would not significantly involve the federal budget. And the bill entirely avoids the idea of a fee or tax for carbon dioxide emissions, a policy that prominent economists agree would be the most economically efficient way to achieve emissions reductions.

Nevertheless, we can’t let perfect be the enemy of good, and this bill is unquestionably good. I believe the fossil fuel demand reductions that the bill would bring about vastly outweigh the provisions encouraging production, and that the industry may never drill much of the land that might be leased. (Remember that there are more than 9,000 drilling permits on public lands today that are not being used, representing nearly 12 million onshore acres.) Passing this bill would be a huge win for our climate.

Offshore Accounting Unveiled: Maximizing Global Opportunities and Tax Efficiency with More Than Numbers CPA, the Best Accounting Firm in Mississauga

Offshore accounting, often associated with multinational corporations, is not solely reserved for large enterprises. Even small and medium-sized businesses can reap significant benefits from offshore accounting practices. In this comprehensive guide, we'll delve into the advantages of offshore accounting, exploring how it can enhance financial management, optimize tax efficiency, and facilitate global expansion.

Unlocking Global Opportunities

Offshore accounting opens doors to global opportunities for businesses of all sizes. By establishing offshore entities, companies can access international markets, diversify their revenue streams, and tap into new customer bases. According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), foreign direct investment (FDI) flows to offshore financial centers totaled $368 billion in 2020. This highlights the substantial economic activity and investment opportunities present in offshore jurisdictions. With guidance from the best accounting firm in Mississauga, such as More Than Numbers CPA, businesses can navigate offshore expansion effectively and capitalize on global growth prospects.

Enhancing Tax Efficiency

One of the primary motivations for offshore accounting is tax efficiency. Offshore jurisdictions often offer favorable tax regimes, including lower corporate tax rates, tax exemptions, and incentives for foreign investors. For example, according to the Tax Foundation, the average corporate tax rate in offshore financial centers is significantly lower than the global average. By strategically structuring their operations offshore, businesses can minimize their tax liabilities and maximize their after-tax profits. The expertise of the best accounting firm in Mississauga, More Than Numbers CPA, ensures that businesses comply with international tax regulations while optimizing their tax efficiency through offshore strategies.

Protecting Assets and Privacy

Offshore accounting also provides asset protection and privacy benefits for businesses. Offshore jurisdictions typically offer robust legal frameworks that safeguard assets from political instability, economic turmoil, and legal disputes. Additionally, offshore structures often provide greater confidentiality and anonymity, protecting sensitive financial information from public disclosure. This level of privacy can be particularly beneficial for high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs, and businesses seeking to shield their assets from prying eyes.

With guidance from the best accounting firm in Mississauga, businesses can navigate regulatory compliance effectively and ensure adherence to global standards.

In conclusion, offshore accounting offers a multitude of benefits for businesses seeking to expand internationally, optimize tax efficiency, protect assets, and streamline operations. With the expertise of the best accounting firm in Mississauga, such as More Than Numbers CPA, businesses can leverage offshore strategies to achieve their financial objectives and thrive in an increasingly globalized economy.

Cloud Based Solutions Can Help Insurers Mitigate the Effects of Pandemic Outbreaks

Moving to the cloud allows insurance companies to invest their time and money in developing new products, services, and technology. As a result, they can handle difficult challenges better by revisiting their strategies with fresh ideas.

The recent global virus outbreak has been getting a lot of attention from businesses. The insurance industry, many banks and other many financial firms have been affected. The companies’ customers will want to know that their solutions also work during a crisis event.

The widespread effects of the coronavirus are an important reminder about the vulnerability behind any system and how unpredictable threats can affect them. Crises such as natural disasters and terrorism can weaken unprepared businesses without adequate business continuity policies in place.

Insurers that have on-premise, legacy systems or data centers will find it harder to deal with challenges of this unprecedented pandemic due to their dated infrastructure. This is in contrast to insurers with a cloud-based, managed services approach who may have the opportunity to prevent the epidemic from spreading further. Employees may no longer be on site if they need to adhere to the organisation’s remote working policy. If there are key individuals on staff that are integral to the management of legacy insurance systems, then they may need assistance in getting their tasks completed.

Decades ago, businesses used one of two solutions for business continuity: they might have had backup facilities or they might have covered one of their bases with a secondary solution. These were costly and not scalable. With the internet becoming faster & more reliable all the time, insurers can focus on building their business & not worry about physical infrastructure.

To make sure your business keeps running smoothly, you need to think about key functions and important capabilities. These are useful both in day-to-day operations and in more volatile instances. The cloud can be a great risk management tool, as it can store critical files without relying on specific hardware. The cloud is distributed across many different communications hubs. By choosing managed cloud services, you also benefit from reduced IT geographical exposure; this could be beneficial for your business.

A distributed, cloud-based solution that is used by employees, customers and partners via web browsers or mobile applications (software as a service, or SaaS) is the most resilient option for large-scale business-critical processes. Outsourcing & offshoring can sound risky in the wake of in-house servers. However, the cloud’s technology is now advanced enough to provide better security than in-house servers. Cloud-hosted solutions are highly reliable and much better than using external servers. With the expertise of our gifted technicians, we’re bringing together cutting-edge technology with good practice.

Investing in cloud-based services can be a wise choice for your company, as it will help you to save time and money on infrastructure issues. With these new tools there’s no need for expensive IT infrastructures or permanent software licenses. A managed services approach usually provides more flexibility and options for insurers to respond quickly when demand increases. This is what many business owners are choosing because they want the freedom to rely on company-owned services less. One example of where this can come in handy is with a coronavirus outbreak, since it’s not wise to rely too heavily on local resources.

Want to know which cloud insurance-based solutions will work best for your institution? Contact us so we can help you create a plan that matches your budget and can work with your existing infrastructure.
