1A - Using Offshore Wind To Slow Climate Change

It's NPR Climate Solutions Week. Across the network, we're talking about how to slow the effects of climate change.

Offshore wind is a powerful source of clean, renewable energy. But it's deployment along U.S. shores has been slowed by supply chain challenges and significant local opposition. Just last week, the Biden Administration approved the nation's tenth offshore wind project.

It's part of the president's goal to power 10 million American homes with offshore wind by the end of the decade. But Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has vowed to cancel all projects on his first day in the Oval Office.

We discuss how offshore wind can help slow climate change.

The Bulwark Podcast - Symone Sanders Townsend and Olivia Nuzzi: Kamala v the Weirdo

Trump and Kamala are meeting for the first time at tonight's debate, because in 2021, he took his ball, went home, and skipped the inauguration. Seven weeks after the change in the ticket, Trump still doesn't seem to know how to fight her— while Kamala will likely be focused on her message of fighting for the people vs Trump fighting for himself.
