The 1.2 million square-foot facility in Buffalo, NY, is set to be the biggest solar-panel factory in the western hemisphere. Now it just needs to open.
Last week, after President Donald Trump announced the U.S.’s withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced his departure from the White House’s business council. It was a symbolic gesture, one that positioned Musk as a counterweight to Trump in the fight for the future of America’s energy policy. To win that battle and prove that the private sector can lead the country toward renewables, Musk must now set his sights not on Paris (or Pittsburgh), but Buffalo, NY, where he and his newly acquired company, SolarCity, are trying to build the largest solar-panel factory in the western hemisphere, despite significant obstacles in recent years.

The brands with the greatest purpose, as perceived by their customers.
In January, when Starbucks announced a plan to hire 10,000 refugees over five years, it may have hoped to gild its reputation for doing good. But, if so, it was in for a rude surprise. By mid-February, its brand perception score had fallen by two-thirds, according to one ranking.

Traders haven’t been this bearish on Snap since the period immediately following its IPO.
The ratio of bearish put contracts on Snap’s stock to bullish calls is 1.7-to-1, the highest since March 17, only the fifth day that Snap options were available to be traded.
After an initial shorting frenzy that pushed the ratio as high as 3-to-1, bearishness leveled off for a couple of months. But now that Snap has been drawing the ire of analysts across Wall Street due to concerns over user growth, pessimism is once again mounting.
The most recent criticism came from Nomura on Wednesday. Looking at data around downloads on the Snapchat app, analyst Anthony DiClemente highlighted slowing daily-average user growth through the first two months of the second quarter.
DiClemente doesn’t expect near-term monetization growth to pick back up, and also noted an acceleration in downloads for Instagram. He warned against competitor growth at a time when Snap’s user expansion is slowing.
JPMorgan got in on the action on Monday, lowering its price target on the company. The firm also has concerns over fewer people flocking to the platform than expected. They estimated that only 8 million users will join Snapchat in the second quarter of 2017, missing the previous forecast of 10 million.
Out of all of the underwriters that participated in Snap’s IPO, none have been more downbeat than JPMorgan, which received the third-biggest share of stock to sell in the offering. The firm lowered its price target on the stock after a disappointing first quarter earnings report last month.

How many hours of the day do you spend staring at a screen? Come up with a number. It’s probably more than that.
Adam Alter, a psychologist at New York University, has spent the last five years studying the effects screens have on our lives and how much time they steal from us.
At TED 2017, he presented his results in three charts. He pointed out that the reason we always feel like we have no free time is because we literally don’t.
Compared to 10 years ago, we spend a lot more time glued to our computers, phones, tablets and televisions. In 2007, we spent a relatively small amount of our free time looking at screens, but in 2017, they take up nearly all of it.
In the charts, the blue sections show the time we spend asleep, at work, or on “survival” activities like eating and washing. The amount of time we dedicate to these hasn’t changed much in a decade.
It’s the red area that is the most interesting — the time in front of screens where we play games, read the news, watch shows, or scroll through social media.
Alter said in his talk that screens “rob us of stopping cues,” which are signals that remind us to move on. The distraction and entertainment is constant, unlike a newspaper which finishes when you reach the end. Instead, there is no obvious time to stop — so we don’t.
He added that we spend about 9 minutes a day on apps that leave us feeling good, like those relating to weather or our health. That’s considerably less time than the 27 minutes on average we spend on apps that “make us feel worse” like gaming, news apps, or Tinder.
The solution, Alter suggested, is we set out phones aside at specific times to try and un-learn old habits. Basically, we are addicted to our screens and limiting their use will feel like a form of withdrawal.
“You get used to it,” Alter said. “You overcome the withdrawal like you would with a drug, and life becomes more colorful, richer.”
