Note: This is one of two articles on the subject. See: “A Brief History of Palm Coast’s Water and Sewer Utility.” As more than a dozen states, including Florida, are encouraging the privatization of utilities, Palm Coast City Council member Theresa Pontieri wants new, pre-emptive guardrails protecting the city’s water and sewer utility from being bought by a private company. Palm Coast bought the water and sewer utility in 2003 for $82. 3 million. The utility is not for sale. Council members are not interested in a sale. No company has proposed buying the utility. But Pontieri is proposing that if the utility were to be considered for a sale, a non-binding referendum would be required first, as well as a supermajority of the five-member council before approval is ratified. Her colleagues are interested. The proposal, which would amend the city’s utility ordinance, will be discussed at a workshop in January. “We’re seeing across the country utilities being purchased up by private entities,” Pontieri said at Tuesday’s council meeting. “This is a very concerning thing for me, because it takes local control out of the hands of the residents of their own utilities, their own water. We know how valuable, particularly in the city, how valuable our water assets are, and we are seeing these types of assets being privatized around the country, and I think we need to protect that.” Pontieri’s proposal highlights an issue of great consequence to ratepayers: as utilities privatise, rates rise, and local control, including environmental oversight and transparency, diminishes. The issue has so far received little attention among the broader public. That attention spikes when it may be too late-when a utility is in the process of being privatized, as is the case now in Pennsylvania and Minnesota. In Minnesota, state regulators have approved the $6. 2 billion sale of Allete Corp. to BlackRock, a private equity firm. Allete was the former owner of Palm Coast’s water utility, and is the current owner, through subsidiaries, of all the remaining undeveloped land in Palm Coast’s Town Center. (See: “Behind BlackRock’s Deal to Buy Allete, Major Landholder in Palm Coast’s Town Center.”) Allete last month sued Palm Coast government, alleging the city’s water and sewer utility has failed the company, costing it two contracts to sell land in Town Center. It is unclear-and sheer speculation-if the lawsuit is part of BlackRock-related strategic positioning ahead of a play for the city’s utility. Electric, water and sewer rates have been increasing sharply in recent years across the country, particularly since 2022, and rising faster than the rate of inflation. Investment in aging infrastructure is a reason (and the leading reason in Palm Coast). But so is AI and data centers, which affect both power and water. So is climate change. So is private acquisition of utilities, a trend Florida lawmakers spurred. A 2022 study of 500 water utilities in the country concluded that private ownership is unquestionably the leading factor in driving up water and sewer rates, while “In states with regulations favorable to private providers, water utilities charge even higher prices.” Florida is among those states. In 2023, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed legislation (SB 194) encouraging consolidation of utilities, and authorizing public utilities to use methods that boost their sale price, thus encouraging publicly owned utilities to sell. The bill was an invitation to privatization. “Given the potential issues with small water systems, states have looked into ways to encourage system consolidation,” a legislative analysis of the bill states. “One tool that has been used in other states is a concept called fair market valuation. Fair market valuation (FMV) is a regulatory tool that seeks to incentivize larger water utilities that may be better positioned to make investments in the system and may have better access to economies of scale, lower cost capital, and water and wastewater system expertise.” (See the bill’s full legislative analysis here.) At the time, 14 states had passed so-called “fair market value” legislation. Florida became the 15th. Such laws have “unleashed dozens of buyout attempts,” Stateline reported two years ago. “The deals provide a short-term cash boost for local governments, which can struggle to cover the cost of aging infrastructure. But critics say the public services and tax savings that governments might provide residents with the quick money don’t make up for the rate hikes, a phenomenon known as ‘taxing through the tap.’” “When we specifically look at what’s going on in Tallahassee as well,” Pontieri said, “we’re losing a lot of local control. We’re losing a lot of home rule. We need to keep as much local autonomy as possible.” If a future council were to sell the utility to a private company, transparency would plummet. Private companies are still required to be accountable to the state Public Service Commission, but local transparency into a private utility’s accounts would not be nearly as detailed. For example, today, all Palm Coast water utility records are public down to individual accounts, consumption and billing. That would not be the case with a private utility such as Florida Power and Light with electricity accounts. “So I would ask this council to give direction to our legal counsel to amend our ordinance,” Pontieri said, suggesting Alachua County as an example to follow. There, a supermajority of the local commission is required to approve a sale of the county’s public utility. The Alachua ordinance says the utility may be sold if there is a “public benefit” to the sale. Pontieri finds the words vague. She would add a requirement in Palm Coast that the sale would have to be preceded by a non-binding referendum. “I just want us to put in place some protections for our residents and that we keep our most valuable asset in the hands of our local community,” Pontieri said. Council members Charles Gambaro and Ty Miller are interested, but asked for a workshop first. It will have to wait until January: there is no council workshop in December.

Saif Ali Khan makes major real estate move; buys commercial offices worth Rs. 30.75 crores in Mumbai
Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan has added yet another prime asset to his real estate portfolio, this time in Mumbai’s thriving commercial district of Andheri East. According to property registration documents, the actor has purchased two office units in the Kanakia Wallstreet building for a total consideration of Rs. 30. 75 crore. Saif Ali Khan makes major real estate move; buys commercial offices worth Rs. 30. 75 crores in Mumbai The combined area of the newly acquired offices measures 5, 681 sq ft and includes six dedicated parking spaces. The seller of the property is Apiore Pharmaceutical, a US-based pharma company, as reflected in the registration filings. The deal was arranged by Volney, a real estate advisory and investor network firm. The transaction was officially registered on November 18, 2025, with a stamp duty of Rs. 1. 84 crore and a registration fee of Rs. 60, 000. Industry experts note that Andheri East has rapidly emerged as one of Mumbai’s busiest commercial corridors, attracting corporates, global enterprises, and creative firms due to its improved connectivity and infrastructure. Volney’s founder, Rohan Sheth, described the area as a market that combines accessibility with strong rental prospects, adding that it continues to draw long-term investors. Saif’s new commercial investment also places him among several high-profile names who have recently secured space in the vicinity. Elon Musk’s satellite internet company, Starlink Satellite Communications Private Limited, recently leased a 1, 294 sq. ft. office in the nearby Chandivali area for a five-year period, with total rent valued at Rs. 2. 33 crore. Additionally, the same building previously housed leased offices where Hrithik Roshan and Rakesh Roshan acquired three commercial units earlier this year for about Rs. 31 crores through HRX Digitech LLP. Beyond his latest acquisition, Saif Ali Khan is already known for his premium residential and commercial holdings across Mumbai. He currently resides in a high-end apartment in Bandra West, a property he purchased nearly a decade ago for Rs. 24 crores. Records also show that he bought a sprawling 6, 500 sq. ft. apartment in April 2012 for Rs. 23. 50 crore from Satguru Builders, further cementing his presence in the city’s luxury real estate landscape. With his latest investment, the actor continues to strengthen his position not just in cinema but also in Mumbai’s top-tier property market.

How Far Can RentStac Go? Analysts Suggest RNS Could Potentially Reach $1
Growing Interest Around the Presale Momentum around RentStac is increasing as the (RNS) presale advances through its early stages. In a market that’s shifting toward structured models tied to real economic flows, several analysts have started monitoring the project more closely. The goal is to understand how the model fits into the expanding RWA sector and what kind of growth potential it could show in the months ahead. Why Investors Are Turning Toward RWAs Real-world asset tokenization has become one of the standout trends of 2025. Investors are showing renewed interest in projects linked to physical assets, operational income and more predictable yield systems. This shift reflects a broader move away from purely speculative cycles. RentStac fits squarely within this movement by bridging real estate with blockchain infrastructure, offering a format that lowers the entry barrier to property-backed exposure. A Presale with a Clear Structure The RentStac presale is divided into seven phases with defined price increases. The total supply of RNS is two billion tokens, with forty percent allocated to the sale. The current phase lists the token at 0. 025 dollars, rising step-by-step to 0. 055 dollars in the final stage. If all seven phases reach full distribution, the total raise would exceed 27 million dollars. According to the project, presale tokens will be tradeable immediately at TGE with no lock-up. The platform also includes sections dedicated to operational updates and reward mechanisms, available on the official site. How the RentStac Model Works RentStac operates by tokenizing real-estate yield. Each property is placed inside a dedicated SPV, which manages rental income and operational flows separately from the rest of the system. These flows feed a dual-layer structure: a base yield reflecting property performance and an additional layer accessible through staking in property pools. This creates a direct link between real-world assets and token holders, while keeping the mechanics simple enough for users unfamiliar with traditional real estate. Security and Transparency Measures The project incorporates external smart-contract audits, multisig wallets and independent oracles to enhance transparency and protect user assets. SPVs legally isolate each property, while the roadmap outlines a gradual shift toward community governance, allowing token holders to vote on asset acquisitions and operational policies. These elements form part of the technical foundation analysts are evaluating as the presale progresses. Tokenomics and Utility RNS functions as a multi-utility token, enabling staking, access to property pools and future marketplace interactions. Token distribution spans the presale, treasury, liquidity reserves and development funds, aiming for a balanced structure that supports both utility and secondary-market stability. Analysts following the RWA sector note that this format aligns with the current demand for clearer and more sustainable token models. A Reference Based on Presale Progression The presale’s price progression already provides an internal reference for token valuation. RNS is priced at 0. 025 dollars in the opening phase, rising to 0. 055 dollars in the final stage. This built-in difference is one of the metrics analysts are tracking, as it highlights a notable nominal variation within the presale structure itself. Analysts Discuss Long-Term Scenarios In recent weeks, discussions among RWA analysts and sector commentators have included several long-term scenarios for projects similar to RentStac. Within these conversations, some have considered the possibility that, if the RWA market continues to expand and the project maintains consistent growth, the RNS token could approach the one-dollar mark over the span of a year. These are not official forecasts but rather exploratory models circulating within ongoing market analysis. What the Market Is Watching Now The growing attention around RentStac reflects the broader moment in the crypto sector, where investors are exploring alternatives grounded in real-world value. With its link to property-based income and a presale structure built on clarity, the project has emerged as one of the names regularly monitored in the expanding RWA category. As the presale continues and the market searches for equilibrium, RentStac is likely to remain on the radar of analysts observing the evolution of tokenized real-estate models.

Zelenskyy Heads To Turkey Amid Burgeoning Energy Sector Corruption Scandal
Ukraine’s president said he will head to Turkey for possible talks with the chief White House envoy involved in talks to end Russia’s nearly four-year-old war on Ukraine. Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s visit, planned for November 19, comes amid a series of international travels, including to France, where he secured a verbal agreement to acquire scores of French Rafale fighter jets. He was in Spain on November 18, and prior to that, Greece, where a deal on gas supplies was signed. “We are preparing to intensify negotiations, and we have worked out solutions that we will offer to partners. Bringing the end of the war closer with all our might is Ukraine’s first priority,” Zelenskyy said in a post to Telegram. News reports said Zelenskyy would meet with Steve Witkoff, the White House’s lead envoy for negotiations to try to end the Ukraine war. The Kremlin said no Russian officials would be present. No face-to-face talks have taken place between Kyiv and Moscow since the two sides met in Istanbul in July. Far-Reaching Corruption Scandal Zelenksyy’s travels coincide with a snowballing corruption scandal, which is shaping up as the worst political crisis he’s faced since his election in 2019. The scandal concerns allegations that funds earmarked for building defenses to protect Ukraine’s vulnerable energy infrastructure from Russian air attacks were siphoned off in the form of kickbacks to political insiders. The allegations burst into public last week when Ukraine’s two leading anti-corruption agencies published evidence detailing their findings. Among those implicated were Tymur Mindich, an old friend and former business partner of Zelenskyy. Mindich fled Ukraine for Poland on November 10 hours before authorities launched raids in connection with their investigation, law enforcement officials told Schemes, the investigative unit of RFE/RL’s Ukrainian Service. That prompted critics to allege he had been alerted ahead of the action. The revelations have already resulted in the resignations of the energy minister and the justice minister. Last week, the investigative agencies announced the arrest of a top official of a subsidiary of Energoatom, the state-owned nuclear company, on bribery allegations. And in June, a deputy prime minister, Oleksiy Chernyshov, was charged with corruption. Zelenskyy has not been implicated in the case. Energoatom said it was fully cooperating with the probe. Anti-Corruption Protests In Ukraine Over the summer, Zelenskyy sparked an uproar when he backed a measure that would have sharply reduced the independence of the two investigative agencies: Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office and the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine. After rare wartime street protests, Zelenskyy backed down. On November 18, a Ukrainian lawmaker alleged that the investigative records include a code-named person who is the head of Zelenskyy’s presidential office. The lawmaker, Yaroslav Zheleznyak, said the records showed Andriy Yermak allegedly directing unnamed officials to investigate officials with the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine. Yermak did not immediately respond to requests for comment from RFE/RL’s Ukrainian Service.

Top 5 Crypto Presales to Buy [X1000 Potential]
As crypto enters its next adoption cycle, a handful of early projects are building the foundations for what’s next — usable, scalable, and grounded in real-world logic. These five presales show where the next 1000x opportunities might emerge.
What used to be abstract code, tokens, and digital land is slowly becoming normal. The projects that define these moments aren’t the loudest ones; they’re the ones that build before attention arrives. They don’t need slogans. Instead, they focus on making systems that people can actually use, touch, and understand.
Crypto is moving from ideas to infrastructure. It’s no longer about buying something because it might grow; it’s about finding networks that already make sense. We’ve entered a phase where blockchain connects to things we use daily — games, identity, creativity, even ownership itself.
—
### 1. Tapzi (TAPZI)
One example is **Tapzi**, a Web3 gaming platform where skill, not speculation, drives progress. It doesn’t ask users to chase luck or yield; it rewards mastery and effort through fair, skill-based competition.
Tapzi reflects what this new market phase represents: a shift from invention to interpretation, from building hype to building systems that actually work. Real-world logic is returning to crypto.
Think about how the internet made communication effortless or how cloud storage replaced physical drives. Blockchain is now doing the same for ownership and interaction. That’s how change works.
The best projects aren’t trying to reinvent everything; they’re aligning blockchain with systems we already use. Every market cycle follows a rhythm: first comes excitement, then skepticism, then adoption.
We’ve seen it in music streaming, digital art, and electric vehicles. Crypto is at the adoption stage now where real products must justify their place.
It’s not about the next hype coin; it’s about networks that give users access, utility, and coordination. Tokens that make transactions faster, automate tasks, or simplify how we interact with digital spaces. These aren’t trends; they’re new layers of daily infrastructure.
—
### What’s Emerging Now: Clarity and Purpose
The next generation of tokens is designed with a clear purpose: usable worlds, transparent governance, scalable systems, and tools that remove friction.
These early projects don’t sell dreams; they solve problems. Whether through decentralized identity, AI-assisted contracts, or digital ownership models, they give blockchain a real function inside the economy that’s forming around it.
People often ask what makes a strong project in crypto. The answer isn’t in price charts; it’s in logic — a solid foundation, active utility, and a clear roadmap.
Each of these five early-stage crypto projects operates in a different domain from gaming to AI, but all share the same focus: structure, usability, and clarity. They are not just stories; they are systems taking form.

XRP Price Prediction 2025: Will It Hit $4 While MoonBull Leads Top Cryptos to Buy This Week
Curious about where the digital asset XRP might be headed next and why a fresh contender is turning heads? While XRP trades around $2.45 today with a 24‑hour trading volume of nearly $6.14 billion, buzz around a newer token is picking up fast.
**MoonBull Presale Sparks Excitement**
MoonBull, currently in its live presale with a $0.00008388 entry price at Stage 6, has already raised over $600K and is generating massive excitement among early investors. Its unique governance system allows holders to vote on key project decisions, making every OBU holder an active part of the journey.
This article explores the XRP price prediction for 2025, weighing bulls and bears, and contrasts it with why MoonBull leads among the top cryptos to buy this week.
—
### MoonBull’s Standout Features Lead Among the Top Cryptos to Buy This Week
MoonBull is making waves in the crypto world with its presale now live, sparking serious interest among early investors. At Stage 6, the current price is $0.00008388, meaning a $200 investment at this stage grants approximately 2,384,358 tokens with projected listing earnings of $14,687.65—making this opportunity hard to ignore.

### XRP Current Price and Recent Market Dynamics
XRP’s current price hovers near $2.45, up approximately 8.99% over the past week. Analysts reference various live price feeds: one chart reports $2.54 with a 24-hour trading volume of around $6.29 billion, while another lists $2.52 with roughly $184 million in 24-hour volume.
In recent months, XRP has repeatedly tested resistance near $3.00, while support levels range between $2.70 and $2.90. The token has demonstrated solid upside potential but also signs of fatigue, as whales and institutional investors closely monitor developments.
—
### XRP Price Forecast: Balancing Bullish Momentum and Downside Risks
XRP’s price outlook is currently shaped by conflicting forces:
– **Bullish Drivers:** The macro environment is improving, with risk‑on sentiment returning amid expectations of potential Federal Reserve rate cuts. Higher futures open interest and growing institutional engagement are providing support for XRP’s live price.
– **Bearish Concerns:** Some technical analysts warn of a potential 50% drop to around $1.25 if key support levels fail. Others suggest that a break below $2.69 could trigger a decline to $2.20. Market sentiment is also heavily influenced by regulatory clarity regarding XRP’s status and ETF flows. If major players pull back, momentum may weaken.
While network upgrades are positive, ecosystem adoption must scale and integrate for sustained growth. Overall, the outlook remains nuanced. XRP has room to climb if positive catalysts align but faces clear risks of correction. Analysts are closely watching the $2.70-$3.00 zone like “cats eyeing a laser pointer.”
—
### XRP Price Prediction for 2025: Targets, Scenarios, and Method
When projecting XRP’s price for 2025, consider three primary scenarios:
– **Bearish Scenario:** If XRP fails to regain $3.00 and broader market weakness sets in, a drop toward approximately $2.20 or even $1.25 is plausible.
– **Base (Neutral) Scenario:** Many forecasts suggest XRP could trade between $2.23 and $2.58 in 2025, with some estimates placing the average near $2.59.
– **Bullish Scenario:** If adoption accelerates, regulations become clearer, and ETF flows materialize, XRP could challenge $4.00 or higher by year-end.
Overall, a reasonable target for XRP in 2025 might fall within the $2.50-$4.00 range, depending on the strength of catalysts. If conditions align optimally, the $3.50-$4.00 zone is achievable, while potential setbacks could keep it between $1.25 and $2.20.
For traders, this means preparing for either a friendly “penguin bounce” or a “peanut-butter slide.”

### Why Blockchain Developers and Financial Analysts Should Keep an Eye on XRP
From a developer’s perspective, XRP offers more than price speculation; it provides a payments‑focused ledger with potential for network partnerships.
For financial analysts, its market cap, liquidity, and exchange listings make it a “reasonably large‑cap alt” for modeling. Key variables to monitor include:
– Network integrations
– Institutional money flows
– Regulatory outcomes
– Macro‑economic conditions
The sweet spot occurs when technical patterns, investor sentiment, and network fundamentals align. Large wallet (whale) movements could amplify price action significantly.
For financial students, this offers a live case study in how crypto asset valuation blends technology, law, and investor psychology.

### Conclusion
In short, XRP has potential to climb but it’s far from guaranteed. If adoption, regulation, and macro conditions break right, the token could head toward $3.50-$4.00 in 2025. However, if key support levels collapse, downside risks to $1.25-$2.20 exist.
The message for watchers is to stay alert and understand both the “penguin‑glide” and the “peanut‑drop” scenarios.
Meanwhile, MoonBull leads among the top cryptos to buy this week and represents a contrasting tale of early‑stage hype. While XRP might offer a measured ride, MoonBull is capturing speculative momentum, offering a broader view of the evolving crypto landscape.

Best Crypto To Buy Now: Layer Brett Predicted To Surpass Shiba Inu In 2026 – Layer 2 Testnet Nears
Meme coins are heating up again as traders rotate from big caps into higher-risk plays. Volumes are rising, timelines are full of altcoin charts, and people are hunting for the best crypto to buy now before the next leg of the crypto bull run in 2025.
Amid all this noise, one question keeps coming back: can a new Layer 2 crypto project really challenge Shiba Inu over the next cycle? Right now, many eyes are on Layer Brett (LBRETT), a meme coin building its own Ethereum Layer 2 network. The chain engine and consensus are already live, a public testnet is close, and the site shows real numbers for price, staking, and funds raised.
### Shiba Inu Still Sets the Meme Standard
Shiba Inu proved that memes plus community can move serious value. It turned a simple dog token into a global brand, pulled in millions of holders, and became a daily feature on crypto news feeds.
This shift in demand is why traders now compare every meme project to Shiba Inu on two levels: community and technology. A strong brand like Layer Brett is still important, but people also look at how fast transactions settle, how cheap it is to move tokens, and whether the network can host real products instead of only speculation.
Projects that can offer both culture and working infrastructure are starting to look more attractive to long-term holders who want more than just hype.
### Why Layer Brett Is Catching Up Fast
Layer Brett is rapidly gaining attention as more than just a typical meme token. Unlike many others, it’s building its own Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain for faster transactions, lower fees, and community-driven control.
With its Ethereum-based architecture, seamless interoperability, and advanced technology, LBRETT offers a unique proposition. Currently priced at $0.0058 with a slight increase to $0.0061 looming, Layer Brett has already raised $4,447,892, with staking rewards of 587.02% for early investors.
### Layer Brett Testnet Going Live Soon
The Layer Brett testnet is set to go live soon, marking a major milestone for the project. This testnet launch will allow users to experience the full potential of Ethereum Layer 2 scalability, with low gas fees and faster transactions.
As the network moves toward full Layer 2 functionality, it opens the door for developers to build dApps and other altcoin activities, making LBRETT an even more promising option for the future.
### Conclusion: Could Layer Brett Pass Shiba Inu by 2026?
No one can say for sure which token will win the next cycle, but the direction is clear. Shiba Inu will likely remain a major meme name, yet newer projects are racing to offer faster networks, better staking, and cheaper fees.
For traders building their own “best crypto to buy now” list, Layer Brett stands out as a meme coin that already shows real progress on the network side. If the testnet delivers and more people start using LBRETT, it would not be a surprise to see Layer Brett closing the gap on Shiba Inu by 2026.

Massachusetts weighs Democrat-backed bill that would scale back climate goals
Massachusetts Lawmaker Warns Climate Targets Are Unlikely to Be Met as Bill Proposes Major Changes
State Representative Cusack told the Commonwealth Beacon, “We’re looking at the real possibility here, in the objective analysis, that we are not going to make our greenhouse reduction mandates. I have not found anyone who says that we are going to make our mandates.” Massachusetts currently aims to slash greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030, compared to 1990 levels.
However, Cusack’s proposed legislation would change how these targets are approached. Under the bill’s current language, climate targets would no longer be enforceable and instead be considered “advisory in nature.” The commonwealth would also be granted “immunity” if it fails to reach these emissions limits.
Changes to Energy Efficiency Program Funding
A critical component of Cusack’s bill involves capping the budget for the state’s energy efficiency program, Mass Save. The Department of Public Utilities approved Mass Save’s budget at around $4.5 billion in late February of this year. Cusack’s legislation would cap the budget at $4 billion and further reduce it by more than $300 million over three years, ending in 2027. This reduction would specifically target funds dedicated to marketing and advertising initiatives.
Delays in Offshore Wind Development Targets
The bill would also adjust Massachusetts’ timeline for offshore wind energy development. Current law requires the state to contract more than 5 gigawatts of offshore wind by 2027. Cusack’s legislation proposes delaying this deadline until 2029.
Defending the Bill: Challenges from Federal Policies and Rising Energy Costs
Cusack has stated that his intent is not to undermine the state’s climate goals but to reassess short-term mandates in order to lower energy bills and address the effects of federal policies. He mentioned the Trump administration’s opposition to renewable energy, such as its crackdown on offshore wind, the termination of funding for the Solar for All program, the withholding of electric vehicle infrastructure funds, and efforts to phase out clean energy tax credits. According to the bill, these actions threaten jobs, supply chain development, and emissions reduction goals in Massachusetts, while also adding regulatory risk and increasing costs for ratepayers.
“We want to get there, but if we’re going to miss our mandates, and it’s not the fault of ours, it’s incumbent on us not to get sued and not have the ratepayers be on the hook,” Cusack told the Commonwealth Beacon. He did not respond to requests for further comment from the Washington Examiner.
Response from Environmental and Climate Advocates
Cusack’s bill has received backing from many Democrats in the state House and was advanced out of the Joint Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities, and Energy on Wednesday. Despite this support, it has sparked backlash from environmental and climate advocacy groups who warn that the bill would threaten Massachusetts’ clean energy progress. Critics say that funding cuts to Mass Save could ultimately increase energy bills.
In 2024, Mass Save program directors estimated that it generated around $2.8 billion in total benefits for participants, including over 1 million megawatt-hours in electric savings.
Amy Boyd Rabin, vice president of policy for the Environmental League of Massachusetts, told Canary Media, “We want good energy-affordability legislation. This is not that. The claim that climate policies are the thing making prices rise is just not based in fact.”
Next Steps for the Legislation
Cusack aims to bring the bill to a vote in the Massachusetts House by November 19, when lawmakers break for the year. From there, it would need to pass in the state Senate before heading to the governor’s desk. The bill is expected to face challenges, as many legislators have previously supported the very measures the legislation seeks to revise.

### Presale Progress and Token Details
The Z token launched its presale earlier this year and is currently in Phase 7, with each token priced at $0.014. So far, the project has raised over $4.56 million and sold more than 1 billion tokens, inching toward the $5 million mark.
Given this momentum, the team plans to increase the token price once again at listing. The target price is $1 per token, which would represent a stunning rally of over 7,000% from the current presale price and an incredible 99,900% increase from the initial $0.001 phase.
A significant factor driving demand is token scarcity: only 30% of the total 10 billion Z token supply is allocated for presale fundraising. This limited availability has attracted early participants eager to capitalize on the project’s growth potential.
