Tax credits and regulations are gone, but EVs are probably here to stay
Most of the incentives and regulatory requirements that spurred carmakers to build more EVs are gone. But there are more EVs on American roads than ever.

The average cost of a gallon of regular gasoline, according to AAA, is $3.084.
Trump: "I don't want to hear about the affordability, because right now we're much less. If you look at energy, we're getting close to $2 a gallon gasoline."

Private investment funds and credit firms are inching their way into the mainstream, but how are they different from public firms? They’re not exactly “the Wild West,” but they are regulated quite a bit less.
What exactly do "private investment" and "private credit" mean?
Generally speaking, “private” means “less regulation.”

New: The Trump administration might limit the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s oversight of auto lenders.

Potentially, that could mean the CFPB would no longer supervise any lenders that cater to subprime borrowers.

As the government shutdown drags on, some states are running low on money to help low-income residents heat and cool their homes.

Typically, many families find out how much their benefit will be around November 1st. But for many, that won't happen this year.
