Good News for Offshore Wind Projects

You might remember Revolution Wind and Empire Wind—two major offshore wind projects that were more than halfway finished when the Trump administration ordered them to stop construction. Now, thanks to two federal judges granting preliminary injunctions, both have been given the go-ahead to proceed! It’s a much-needed win for the offshore wind industry—and with any luck, these projects will be able to reach the finish line without further delay! Read the full story from the source at this link.

Good News for Major National Science Programs

Congress has officially approved funding for several key scientific agencies—and they’re proposing billions more dollars for the National Science Foundation, NOAA, and NASA than Trump wanted! If the spending package is signed into law, NOAA and NASA will receive $1.67 and $5.63 billion more than was proposed in the administration’s budget request, and programs slated for elimination, like NASA’s satellite program, will actually get a funding boost. It’s an unexpected, hopeful development that reflects strong bipartisan support for these agencies and the critical work they do! Read the full story from the source at this link.
