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

US President Donald Trump has launched “Project Homecoming,” a voluntary deportation initiative offering free flights to undocumented migrants choosing to self-deport. Trump announced the program via video, introducing a CBP Home app to help migrants book flights. Those refusing to leave face steep penalties — jail, fines, and asset seizures. The controversial move is aimed at slashing immigration costs and reversing Biden-era immigration policies. Trump claims it will save the US trillions. Critics argue it could lead to human rights violations. The plan has already triggered nationwide debate. #TrumpImmigrationPlan #ProjectHomecoming #USImmigration #FreeFlightsForMigrants #SelfDeportation #TrumpPolicy #CBPHomeApp #USBorderSecurity #IllegalImmigration #TrumpDeportationPlan #Trump2025 #WhiteHouseAnnouncement #ImmigrationCrisis #TrumpExecOrder #BidenVsTrump #MAGAImmigration #DeportationBonus #AmericaFirst #TrumpNews #USPolitics Also Read Trump Reacts to Indian Missile Strikes: 'It’s a Shame,' Calls for Swift Resolution :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-reacts-to-indian-missile-strikes-it-s-a-shame-calls-for-swift-resolution-4145511.html?ref=DMDesc Trump and Carney Face Off in Oval Office Over Trade War and Tariffs :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-carney-faceoff-oval-office-trade-war-011-4145443.html?ref=DMDesc What Donald Trump’s 100% Tariff On Foreign Films Could Mean For Indian Entertainment Industry | Explained :: https://www.oneindia.com/business/what-donald-trump-s-100-tariff-on-foreign-films-could-mean-for-indian-entertainment-industry-expl-4144927.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.346~

US Supreme Court Greenlights Trump’s Trans Military Ban, Allowing Discharges, Enlistment Block

In a 6–3 decision, the US Supreme Court has reinstated Donald Trump’s controversial ban on transgender individuals serving in the military. The ruling allows the Pentagon to discharge troops diagnosed with gender dysphoria and reject new enlistees unless they serve in their birth Sex and forego transitioning. This reversal follows Trump’s January executive order and strikes down protections restored during Biden's tenure. The policy has sparked outrage among LGBTQ+ advocates, reigniting debates on civil rights, military readiness, and the limits of executive power under the Constitution. #TrumpBan #TransMilitaryBan #SCOTUSRuling #LGBTQRights #GenderDysphoria #USMilitary #Trump2025 #CivilRights #TransRights #MilitaryPolicy #LGBTQBan #SupremeCourt #TrumpOrder #PentagonBan #GenderPolitics #DiscriminationAlert #ExecutiveOrder #TransSoldiers #BanBacklash #USNews Also Read Anaya Bangar Calls Out 'Toxic Masculinity' Of Cricketers: 'Sent Me Nudes After My Gender-Affirming Surgery' :: https://www.oneindia.com/sports/cricket/anaya-bangar-calls-out-toxic-masculinity-of-cricketers-sent-me-nudes-after-my-gender-affirming-s-4127391.html?ref=DMDesc Federal Judge Blocks Trump Administration From Banning Transgender People From Military Service :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/federal-judge-blocks-trump-administration-from-banning-transgender-people-from-military-service-4098779.html?ref=DMDesc US Army Bars Transgender People From Enlisting In Military With Immediate Effect :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-army-bars-transgender-people-from-enlisting-in-military-with-immediate-effect-4071757.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.103~GR.122~

Russia-Ukraine War Breaking: Trump Moves U.S' Patriot Missile System From Israel to Ukraine

Ukraine is set to receive more U.S.-made Patriot air-defense systems as deadly Russian strikes intensify. A refurbished system from Israel is being rerouted, with Germany or Greece possibly sending another. While Trump pushes for peace, Zelensky’s plea for more weapons resurfaces after a missile strike killed 13 in Kyiv. With U.S. weapons deliveries from Biden’s era nearing exhaustion, the incoming Patriots are vital. The recent minerals deal between Ukraine and the U.S. could also open the door for further arms support as Kyiv braces for another wave of Russian aggression. #UkraineWar #PatriotMissiles #AirDefense #TrumpUkraine #Zelensky #RussiaUkraine #MissileStrike #KyivAttack #USMilitaryAid #BidenPolicy #MineralsDeal #Greece #Germany #IsraelToUkraine #Putin #PatriotSystem #DefenseSupport #NATO #VaticanMeeting #UkraineWeapons ~HT.336~GR.125~ED.102~
