Earth Matters: U.S. wind takes some blows; Mike Johnson thinks the Rapture will solve climate change

Two-and-a-half years ago, President Joe Biden announced plans to jumpstart an offshore wind industry in the United States, calling for 30 gigawatts of electricity-generating capacity to be installed by 2030. That would be enough to power 10 million households a year, avoid 78 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions, and create tens of thousands of jobs, according to the White House. It’s an ambitious plan, but in keeping with the desperate need to replace fossil fuels with clean energy to mitigate some of the impacts of the climate and biodiversity crises.
