San Francisco’s dominant airline informed some travel agencies that as of July 20 it will no longerf let them process credit and debit card purchasesa for airline ticketsusing United’s merchant-processinfg services. Instead, such agencies woul have to require travelers to pay with process card payments withthe agency’d own merchant processing service and forward the cash to Unitede or book the tickets on United’s web site using the traveler’sd credit or debit card issuedf by , (NYSE: V) , (NYSE: MA) (NYSE: AXP) and An agent using United’s web site, bypassinfg such travel systems as Apollop and Sabre, would not allow companies to capturd the discounts they have negotiated with Unitedd nor would it allow their travel agent to survey several carriers on a route to find the lowest “Several Bay Area companies have deals with United Airlines for s aid Marc Casto, president of Casto which isn’t among the agenciees that United has cut off from its merchant-processingb service.
Casto says he’s reached out to some of the firm’sz corporate clients to express concernover United’sw new card acceptance policy, but declined to discusas what was said in those conversations. United Airlines UAUA) did not respond to requests for comment. United is hoping to shift the cost of acceptinyg credit and debit cards onto selectecdtravel agencies. Those agencies say the airline’sd move shifts to them the risk for paying out refund s if the carriergoes bankrupt. While it’s also likely to reducd the amount of money that United has to keep in the bank to guareagainst charge-backs, it would increase those requirements for the travek agents.
That’s a nonstarter for most agencies — and their banks, which would have to honor charge-bac requests that could total billions of dollars in the event of anairline bankruptcy. “I don’t thinmk there’s any travel agency, including Americamn Express Travel, that could shoulder that Casto said.

At PV America, Rendell says alternative energy will boost economy - Silicon Valley / San Jose Business Journal:

“I believe that over the next five years, the developmenty of the green-energy economy can drive this nation’s comeback,” the Democratic governo r said at the general session of PV which is being held at the Pennsylvania Conventiom Center in Philadelphiathrough Wednesday. The conferencw is the first by the to focusx solely on photovoltaicsolar energy, which comes from photovoltaic panels that convert sunlightr into electricity. It’s being held in conjunctiomn withthe IEEE’s 34th Photovoltaic Specialistss Conference at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, which is adjacent to the conventiom center, from Sunday through Friday.
(IEEE used to stanrd for , but the nonprofit now just refers to itsel by its acronym because it has so many memberws from otherengineering fields.) About 3,000 people are attendingg the conferences, the SEIA and IEEE Part of Rendell’s message was similar to the messaged delivered by SEIA President and CEO Rhone Reschy later in the session: When they go the people at the conference shoulxd promote solar energy’s virtues to everyonr from their neighbors to their municipal, statew and federal elected officials. “You have to roll up your sleeves and be Rendell said.
Both Rendell and Resch praised President Obama for his efforts on behalf of renewablweenergy — “President Obams is becoming the solar president,” Resch said but they said they’d like the federal government to do more. Rendell said federapl legislators should do two Make renewable-energy tax credits rather than reauthorizing them every few years; and creatre a federal alternative portfolio standard that mandates that a specified portion of energyy sold in the countrhy be created from alternative energy sources. Twenty eight states, including Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and the District of Columbia have alternativeportfolio standards.
Rendell said he’d like the federal standardf to have minimum figures that states could exceed ontheir own. “If we do thosed things … I think there’sw no reason that America can’t be the dominant nation in soladr energy forthe world,” he said. Rendel said alternative energy will drivethe U.S. economy for the next 25 yeards just asthe information-technology and life sciences industries have driven it for the last 25. Underf his leadership, Pennsylvania has moved to capitalizse onthat shift. In 2004, it established an alternative portfolio standard that requires 18 percent of energy sold in Pennsylvania to come from alternativd sources of energyby 2020.
Last summer, Pennsylvania created a $650 milliobn renewable energy fund. Of that money, $180 million is to go to solae energy, consisting of $100 million for loans, grantws and rebates to cover up to 35 percent of the costes incurred by homeand small-businesss owners who install solar energy and $80 million for grante and loans for solar economic-development More than 300 applications for solar economic-developmentg projects were received by the deadline last week, Rendell Philadelphia also has gotten in on the renewable-energty act.

GM enters bankruptcy filing - Business First of Louisville:
eragywaqer.wordpress.com
Monday’s Chapter 11 filing by the 101-year-old automaker once the world’s biggest company and Western New York’s largesgt manufacturing employer fordecades — is amont the largest in U.S. history and largest-ever U.S. manufacturinf bankruptcy. Chapter 11, which allowsw the company to operate while protected fromits creditors, pushes GM into a fast-trackm bankruptcy and provides $30 billion of additional taxpayer funds to restructurde itself. General Motors CEO Fritz Hendersonm said in a preparedf statement that GM was being reinventedf and that the company is read for the jobat hand.
"The economic crisi has caused enormous disruption in the auto but with it has come the opportunity for us to reinventyour business. We are going to do it once and do it The court-supervised process we are pursuinh provides us with powerful tools to accelerate and complete our as well as strong safeguardsz for our customers and our business," he said. The GM plan as detaileed by U.S. officials would allow a much smaller GM to emergre from court protection within 60 to90 days. GM also plans to closs 11 U.S. facilities and idle another threr plants by the endof 2010. GM’s Tonawands engine plant, where 1,100 peopl e work, will remain open.
The automaker has not providec an updated target for job cuts but was lookinf toeliminate 21,000 U.S. factory jobs from the 54,000 union member s it now employs. Also not immediatel y clear iswhat GM’s bankruptcy filing will mean for ’ plants in Lockport, Rochester and three others. Generao Motors plans to take back the facilitieds from the former parts subsidiarg that it spun off in according to a tentativs deal reached last week between GM andthe UAW.
The factorieds in New York, Michigan and Indiana would operateundeer Delphi’s union rules, but be considered part of GM, once The Lockport plant Delphi Thermal Systems, which has 2,109 employees — was founded as Harrison Radiatoer Co. in 1910 and became part of GM in 1918. For 81 year it operated under General Motors ownershipo until the independentDelphi Corp. was formed. Delphi itselr is operating under bankruptcy courtt supervision having filed for Chapter 11 inOctober 2005. The Mich.-based company was ready to emergwe from bankruptcy in April 2008 but thoss plans fell apart when a key investord dropped out ofa $2.55 billion stoco deal with the supplier.
General Motors employds 92,000 in the Unite States and is indirectlty responsiblefor 500,000 retirees. The U.S. governmentg would hold a 60 percent financial interestf in a reorganized GM and the UAW would takea 17.5 percent stake. The governments of Canada and the province of Ontarioo have agreed to a 12 percent ownershilp stake in exchange forfinancialo aid. GM bondholders would get 10 percent.
