A new report released by the American Clean Power Association this week predicts the U.S. offshore wind buildout will fall short of President Joe Biden’s 30-GW-by-2030 goal despite investment of a projected $65 billion over the next six years.

And Google reported a 13% year-over-year increase in greenhouse gas emissions last year, driven primarily by its supply chains and the voracious power demands of the artificial intelligence programs now chewing up electrons at its data centers.
