🔥 Europe’s energy crisis raises firewood prices, theft fears
Europe’s energy crisis, has forced some people to turn to cheaper heating sources like firewood as the weather gets colder. In the former Soviet republic of Moldova, leaders worry that this winter could be devastating for many of its people because of the high cost of electricity and heat, with European natural gas prices roughly triple what they were in early 2021.
In Poland, demand for small firewood from state forests grew 46% and larger firewood was up 42% through the end of August from a year earlier. Germany’s statistics agency says prices for firewood and wood pellets made from sawdust that can be used in central home heating rose over 85% in August from a year earlier.
In Denmark, the demand for wood-burning stoves is growing along with firewood itself. The Danish sales site DBA said searches for wood pellets have exploded by over 1,300% in the past year.

🚙 Hyundai breaks ground on $5.5B electric car plant in Georgia
Just five months after Hyundai announced the $5.5 billion manufacturing plant in Bryan County west of Savannah, vast areas of the site have already been cleared of trees. Euisun Chung, executive chairman of Hyundai Motor Group, said the plant will be the envy of the industry.
The South Korean company plans to open the factory in 2025, with at least 8,100 employees producing up to 300,000 electric vehicles per year. Georgia officials say it’s the largest economic development project the state has ever seen.
State and local officials lured Hyundai to Georgia with a $1.8 billion package of tax breaks and incentives. The White House recently announced $2.8 billion in grants to ramp up production of EV batteries in 12 states.

🇪🇺 Europe sees fastest pace of rate hikes since euro launched
The European Central Bank piled on another outsized interest rate hike aimed at squelching out-of-control inflation, increasing rates at the fastest pace in the euro currency’s history and underscoring the bank’s determination to control prices despite the threat of recession.
The 25-member governing council raised its interest rate benchmarks by three-quarters of a percentage point at a meeting Thursday in Frankfurt, matching its record increase from last month and joining the US Federal Reserve in making a series of rapid hikes to tackle soaring consumer prices.
ECB President Christine Lagarde acknowledged the risk is growing that the 19-country eurozone may plunge into recession but says “inflation remains far too high” and will stay high for an extended period, so the bank expects to keep hiking.

🚀 Users around Los Angeles spotted a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket to orbit, deploying 53 Starlink satellites
The Falcon 9's first stage came back to Earth and made a pinpoint landing a little less than nine minutes after launch on the SpaceX droneship Of Course I Still Love You, which was stationed in the Pacific Ocean.
SpaceX has launched more than 3,500 satellites (opens in new tab) for Starlink, its internet megaconstellation, which already provides service to customers around the world.
Many of those spacecraft have gone up this year. SpaceX has now conducted 49 orbital missions in 2022, and nearly two-thirds of them have ferried big Starlink batches skyward.

▪️ Giraldi described the document as "somewhat unhinged" and said it presumed to present an exegesis on all the presumed threats in the world along with a detailed account of what the Biden Administration was doing to protect Americans from them.
