NPR reports that the United States is working to meet its climate goals under the Paris climate agreement by reducing its reliance on fossil fuels.

However, the energy sector remains one of the top contributors to U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for nearly 25% of the nation's total emissions.

The Biden administration is reportedly looking to significantly reduce this number by building offshore wind infrastructure along U.S. coasts.

The Biden administration is reportedly looking to significantly reduce this number by building offshore wind infrastructure along U.S. coasts.

The administration's goal is to have 30 gigawatts of offshore wind online by 2030.

To meet that ambitious goal, thousands of new jobs need to be created, particularly in the construction sector.

NPR reports that offshore wind has supplied energy to Europe and Asia for years, however it remains a relatively nascent industry in the U.S. In 2016, the U.S. started operation of its first offshore wind farm more than 25 years after Europe launched its first wind turbines.

.

According to a 2021 study, the average compensation for workers in the clean energy sector is significantly lower than it is for those in the fossil fuel industry.

To compensate for this difference, offshore wind is looking to unionize large parts of its workforce.

I think offshore wind energy is poised to support good paying union jobs, middle class wages, we're seeing a lot of positive movement for it, Trevor Falk, Special assistant for energy policy at NABTU, via NPR

Trump Loyalist Russel Vought Takes Over DOGE, Vought To Lead Mass Layoffs With ā€˜Slash & Burn’ Agenda

Elon Musk has stepped down from leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), handing the reins to conservative policy strategist Russell Vought. A key Trump ally, Vought is best known for shaping Project 2025 and pushing aggressive spending cuts and federal downsizing. He aims to revive Trump’s Schedule F and slash budgets at agencies like USAID and NPR. Musk, who reportedly wants to focus on Tesla and SpaceX, had worked closely with Vought during DOGE’s early days. Critics warn Vought's Christian nationalist leanings and military spending cuts may spark major backlash. #ElonMusk #RussellVought #DOGE #Trump #GovernmentEfficiency #Project2025 #ScheduleF #FederalCuts #ChristianNationalism #Tesla #SpaceX #MuskExit #VoughtAgenda #BudgetCuts #NPR #USAID #CFPB #MilitarySpending #GOP #PoliticalNews #WashingtonWatch #BureaucracyReform #TrumpAdmin #GovernmentOverhaul #WhiteHousePolicy #SpendingCuts #PolicyShift #BreakingNews #ConservativeAgenda #MuskVsVought Also Read Elon Musk Exits Trump Administration After Slamming ā€˜Big Beautiful Bill’ on His Way Out :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/elon-musk-exits-trump-administration-after-slamming-big-beautiful-bill-on-his-way-out-4166709.html?ref=DMDesc Elon Musk Criticises Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill', A Fracture In Key Relationship :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/elon-musk-criticises-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-a-fracture-in-key-relationship-4166667.html?ref=DMDesc SpaceX Starship Explodes Mid-Flight During Third Test, Firm Cites 'Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/spacex-starship-explodes-mid-flight-during-third-test-firm-cites-rapid-unscheduled-disassembly-4165683.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~GR.124~

U.S’ Flip-Flop Game: U.S Military Aid To Ukraine Under Review As Pentagon Halts Key Shipments

The Pentagon has confirmed it is conducting a ā€œcapability reviewā€ to reassess whether military aid to Ukraine aligns with America’s shifting defense priorities. Chief spokesperson Sean Parnell said the U.S. is taking a hard look at promised weapons deliveries — some of which are now halted — to ensure national interests come first. The move follows the White House’s decision to stop key shipments of air defense ammunition, artillery shells, and missiles previously pledged under the Biden administration. With President Trump’s ā€œAmerica Firstā€ policy reshaping foreign aid strategy, the Pentagon appears to be pivoting away from prolonged foreign entanglements. Ukrainian officials have slammed the halt as betrayal, warning it weakens their resistance against Russia’s advances. Meanwhile, analysts say this could signal a major realignment in U.S. global commitments — and a boost for Russian military strategy.

U.S Breaking: TRUMP Humiliated By NY Court Slaps Trump's Plan to Deport 500,000+ Haitians

A federal court has struck down Donald Trump’s attempt to prematurely end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for over 500,000 Haitian immigrants. The judge ruled the move unlawful, citing procedural violations and the devastating impact on lives built under TPS. The Biden administration had extended protections until 2026 due to Haiti’s ongoing crisis, including gang violence and displacement. The ruling is a major setback for Trump’s deportation agenda and underscores judicial resistance to rolling back immigration relief programs. #Trump #ImmigrationRuling #HaitiTPS #TPSProtection #FederalCourt #DeportationBlocked #HaitianImmigrants #ImmigrationNews #TrumpHumiliated #USImmigration #TPS2026 #BidenImmigration #LegalStatus #MigrantRights #CourtRuling #StopDeportations #TrumpVsImmigrants #ImmigrationPolicy #HumanRights #BreakingNews #USPolitics #JudicialRebuke #GangViolenceHaiti #IOMReport #TemporaryProtectedStatus #HaitiansInUSA #MigrationJustice Also Read Deal With India With Less Tariffs Soon: US Prez Donald Trump :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/deal-with-india-with-less-tariffs-soon-us-president-donald-trump-7788921.html?ref=DMDesc 'Close Up Shop And Move Back To South Africa': US President Donald Trump's Deportation Warning To Elon Musk :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/close-up-shop-and-move-back-to-south-africa-us-president-donald-trumps-deportation-warning-to-el-7788061.html?ref=DMDesc Top Iranian Cleric Declares Fatwa Against Donald Trump, Netanyahu :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/top-iranian-cleric-declares-fatwa-against-donald-trump-netanyahu-7786905.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~GR.125~

Trump tears into Biden with vicious insult during Florida speech at ā€˜Alligator Alcatraz’migrant jail

In a shocking and explosive speech from the launch of Florida’s controversial ā€œAlligator Alcatrazā€ migrant detention center, Donald Trump hurled a vicious insult at former President Joe Biden, escalating the already fiery political rhetoric ahead of 2028. Standing beside Ron DeSantis and Kristi Noem, Trump joked about being locked up himself—then turned his fury on Biden in a jaw-dropping verbal attack that’s making headlines nationwide. Critics have slammed the new facility as inhumane, while supporters hail it as a bold step in immigration enforcement. But it was Trump’s foul-mouthed tirade that stole the spotlight.

Japan Earthquake Prediction | July 5 Megaquake Sends Shockwaves around the Globe | Oneindia [Video]

Japan Earthquake Prediction | July 5 Megaquake Sends Shockwaves around the Globe | Oneindia

The Japan Earthquake Prediction scare, driven by a reissued manga comic, has triggered travel concerns across Asia. As July 5, 2025 nears, fear of a megaquake is gripping the public, even though scientists have firmly stated that such predictions are not possible. The Japanese government warns of a high probability of a quake in the Nankai Trough in the next 30 years, but this Japan Earthquake Prediction is causing unnecessary alarm. From empty airports to grounded flights, the impact is already visible. While the Japan Earthquake Prediction might be fictional, Japan’s seismic history is very real — and so is the need for preparedness, not panic. #JapanEarthquakePrediction #MegaquakeFears #ScienceNotSuperstition #StayPrepared #NankaiTroughAlert ~HT.410~PR.100~PR.282~

Russia Accuses Quad Nations Of ā€˜Forcing’ India Into Military Bloc, Urges Revival Of RIC Alliance

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has accused Quad nations — the US, Japan, and Australia — of dragging India into a de facto military alliance, despite Delhi’s stated focus on economic ties. Speaking at a Eurasian security forum, Lavrov warned of coordinated naval drills aimed at militarizing Quad beyond its original scope. He also pushed to revive the dormant Russia-India-China (RIC) trilateral platform, asserting that Western powers are deliberately stoking Indo-China tensions by reframing the region as "Indo-Pacific" with anti-China goals. His remarks signal Moscow’s shifting strategic focus in Asia. #RussiaQuad #IndiaQuad #LavrovStatement #RICAlliance #IndiaChina #IndoPacific #RussiaIndiaChina #Geopolitics #QuadMilitary #MoscowDiplomacy #GlobalShifts #AsiaPacific #QuadTensions #RICRevival #LavrovWarning #GalwanClash #IndiaChinaBorder #WesternStrategies #MilitaryDrills #RussiaIndiaRelations Also Read India Rebukes Pakistan Over Indus Waters Treaty Remarks At UN Forum: 'Appalled' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-rebukes-pakistan-over-indus-waters-treaty-remarks-at-un-forum-appalled-4169437.html?ref=DMDesc Russia: Bridge Collapse Derails Train, At Least 7 Confirmed Dead :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-bridge-collapse-derails-train-at-least-7-confirmed-dead-4169275.html?ref=DMDesc Adani Ports taps its Largest Ever Domestic bond - 5,000 crore 15-year NCD :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/apsez-secures-inr-5000-crore-via-non-convertible-debentures-012-4168661.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~
