	Clean energy developers and the bankers who fund them are all pretty confident that a change in power in Washington, should one occur next year, won’t mean the end of the Inflation Reduction Act or the buildout of renewables across the country — except, that is, when it comes to offshore wind. Trump has special contempt for wind energy in all its forms — to him, all wind turbines are bird murderers, but offshore turbines are especially deadly, adding both whales and property values to their list of victims. He has said he will issue an executive order on...

What Trump Could Do to Offshore Wind

Five more wind turbines just came online at Vineyard Wind 1, making it the largest operating offshore wind farm in the US. Sustainable energy company Avangrid and green investors Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners today announced that the Vineyard Wind 1 project is now delivering more than 136 megawatts (MW) to the electric grid in Massachusetts. (New York’s South Fork Wind, the US’s first complete utility-scale offshore wind farm, is 132 MW.)

As his circle narrows, President Joe Biden is increasingly weighing on family members for advice, including his criminally convicted son Hunter, who was recently found guilty of felony gun charges in Delaware and is recovering from a crack addiction. Hunter is reportedly weighing in during official meetings with the president as he managed the post-debate fallout in Camp David, according to sources close to the situation who spoke to NBC. While he does attend other official White House events, Hunter’s presence at these meetings is, however, out of the ordinary, according to NBC’s sources. Hunter has reportedly been “popping into” phone calls, meetings and discussions between the president and aides. A source who spoke to NBC summarized the feeling amongst administration officials as “What the hell is happening?” In a statement to NBC, White House spokesman Andrew Bates said, “Hunter came back with the President from their family weekend at Camp David and went with the President straight into speech prep.” Biden has also reportedly leaned on the first lady, Jill, who is one of the most strident defenders of her husband staying in the race.

 It’s not easy to build a wind project. Many of the best spots for generating wind power are already occupied by turbines. Even if you do find a good one, then comes everything else — inflation in the supply chain, convincing a local community that they want a wind farm near them, leasing the land, and so on and so forth. The whole process can take as long as five years.But what about just making an existing wind farm … better.This option, known as repowering, is becoming more attractive to wind developers and operators as existing wind assets age...
