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
U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to defund NPR and PBS, directing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to cut federal funding to public media. The move could devastate local stations, especially in rural communities, and marks a major escalation in the administrationâs ongoing battle with public broadcasters. The order also calls for investigations into potential bias and employment discrimination, sparking legal and political backlash.

US President Donald Trump has launched âProject Homecoming,â 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 â 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.

In a 6â3 decision, the US Supreme Court has reinstated Donald Trumpâs 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 Trumpâs 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.

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, Zelenskyâs plea for more weapons resurfaces after a missile strike killed 13 in Kyiv. With U.S. weapons deliveries from Bidenâs 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.
