<p>Target valuation would be largest float for US tech company since Facebook in 2012</p> <p>Uber has unveiled the terms of a hotly anticipated stock market float which it hopes will value the ride-hailing service at more than $91bn (£70bn).</p> <p>While the target is $10bn less than some bankers suggested the 10-year-old firm might be worth, the valuation is more than double the value of the 116-year-old carmaker Ford and would be the largest float by a US tech company since Facebook’s in 2012.</p> <p>Since its launch in San Francisco in 2010, Uber has expanded to more than 700 cities, from Abilene (Texas) and Abuja (Nigeria) to Volta Redonda (Brazil) and Zurich (Switzerland).</p> <p>Uber recorded sales of $11.4bn (£8.8bn) in 2018, but lost $1.8bn. The previous year it lost $2.2bn. Executives warned that expenses were set to “increase significantly in the foreseeable future”.</p> <p>More than 91 million people used the app last year to hail rides or order food.</p> <p>Uber has been involved in several controversies, including allegations <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/may/15/uber-sexual-assault-harassment-ride-hailing-arbitration">against its drivers</a> of sexual assault, a major data breach, and the use of illicit software to evade authorities.</p> <p>While its often cheaper fares have been welcomed in most cities, its app is banned in Denmark, Bulgaria and China.</p> <p>The company was fined £385,000 last year by the Information Commissioner’s Office for <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/nov/27/uber-fined-385000-for-data-breach-affecting-millions-of-passengers-hacked">a data breach</a> that affected 3 million British users.</p> <p>The IPO will deliver huge fortunes to Uber’s founders, Travis Kalanick and Garrett Camp, who own 8.6% and 6% of the shares respectively.</p> <p>The biggest shareholder is the Japanese billionaire Masayoshi Son’s investment fund Softbank, which owns more than 16% of the firm.</p> <p>Uber <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/aug/27/uber-to-diversify-into-electric-bikes-and-scooters-to-drive-growth">recently bought</a> the electric bike company Jump Bikes for $200m.</p> <p>It recently launched Uber Freight, which matches shipping companies with truck drivers in a similar way to that by which the original app links passengers and taxi drivers.</p> <p>The company is developing <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/apr/19/ubers-self-driving-car-unit-valued-at-73bn-as-it-gears-up-for-ipo">self-driving and flying cars</a>.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/apr/26/uber-aims-for-stock-market-debut-value-of-up-to-90bn">Continue reading...</a><br /> <br /> from Top stories | The Guardian http://bit.ly/2XM0pZ0<br />

Romans revolt as tourists turn their noses up at city’s decay

<p>Rubbish, potholes and metro closures contribute to anger among visitors and citizens alike</p> <p>As the day draws to a close in Rome, tourists are enjoying a nightcap at a bar on Piazza della Rotonda. In front of them stands the majestic Pantheon, the imposing domed temple built by Emperor Hadrian.</p> <p>To their right, however, is a scene less befitting the piazza, famed for its elegance and history.

The Northeast leads the country in net-metered wind electricity generation capacity

<b>The Northeast leads the country in net-metered wind electricity generation capacity</b><br /> Since 2011, net-metered wind electricity generating capacity in the Northeast has grown faster than in the rest of the United States. Like small-scale solar photovoltaic systems, many of which are net-metered, net-metered wind systems are much smaller than their utility-scale counterparts. Although the amount of net-metered wind in the United States is small—just 0.2% of all U.S. wind capacity in 2017—much of it has come online in the past few years because of state policies that encourage new small-scale wind turbines.<br /> <br />

New wind and solar power projects tend to come online at the end of the year

<b>New wind and solar power projects tend to come online at the end of the year</b><br /> New electricity generating capacity is brought online throughout the year, but December has historically been the most significant month for both onshore wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity additions in the United States. Over the past nine years (2010–2018), 43% of all onshore wind capacity and 33% of all solar PV capacity have been added in December. U.S. wind and solar capacities receive a production tax credit (PTC) and an investment tax credit (ITC), respectively, which may provide incentives to come online at the end of the year.<br /> <br />
