  • New England offshore wind project in Trump’s crosshairs

    BOSTON — The Trump administration is signaling that it will likely cancel a federal permit for a regional offshore wind project, drawing a rebuke from state leaders and environmentalists who said such a decision would set back the state’s climate change goals and cost thousands of good-paying jobs.

    The U.S. Interior Department’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management said in a new court filing last week that it is reconsidering federal approval of Avangrid’s New England Wind 1 project. The 719-megawatt project called for generating enough electricity to power more than 400,000 homes in the state.

  • DOT pulls plug on funding for Salem wind project

    BOSTON — Gov. Maura Healey and other state leaders are blasting the Trump administration for clawing back $33.8 million in federal funding for a Salem project to support offshore wind development, saying the move jeopardizes hundreds of jobs and the state’s climate change goals.

    The U.S. Department of Transportation on Friday canceled $679 million in federal funding for a dozen infrastructure projects that would support offshore wind, saying the plans “were not aligned with the goals and priorities of the administration.”

  • Lawmakers renew push in Congress for gas safety bill

    BOSTON — Private citizens would be empowered to file lawsuits against federal regulators if they fail to enforce natural gas regulations under a bill filed by members of the state’s congressional delegation.

    Presented by Sen. Ed Markey and Rep. Lori Trahan, the Pipeline Accountability Act introduced Tuesday would require the federal Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration to update safety standards for existing pipelines and require that such lines be rapidly isolated in the event of catastrophic failures. A similar bill has been filed and failed previously.

    U.S. Announces Nuclear Fusion Energy Breakthrough

    Scientists have successfully produced a nuclear fusion reaction resulting in a net energy gain, a major breakthrough in a decades-long quest to unleash an infinite source of clean energy that could help end dependence on fossil fuels. What do you think?

    “It’ll take some pretty big fundraising dinners to stop this.”

    Debora Emel, Prank Adviser

    “If clean energy is so great, why haven’t we invaded anyone for it yet?”

    Spencer West, Chief Filer

    “I thought we all agreed Earth was more of a run-out-the-clock scenario.”

    Malcolm Gareau, PSA Director
