The administration s plans for the California coast are part of a broader effort to fight climate change by shifting the country s energy sources away from oil, gas and coal and toward cleaner technology like solar and wind energy.
The White House has set a goal of deploying 30,000 megawatts of offshore wind by 2030. Officials estimate that hitting this target could spur $12 billion in capital investments in projects on both coasts and employ more than 77,000 people in the offshore wind industry itself and in jobs that spring up around it. They envision bringing much of the industry s supply chain to the U.S. so that wind turbine components and the steel they re forged from are manufactured domestically.

The federal government plans to open California’s coast to offshore wind development, the Biden administration announced Tuesday. The move could provide the state with a major source of renewable energy and cut its climate-warming emissions.
Under the plan, the administration would allow wind power projects to be built in a 399-square-mile area in federal waters off the coast of Central California northwest of Morro Bay. A second location west of Humboldt Bay has also been chosen as a possible area for future wind development. Officials estimate that the two areas combined could generate 4,600 megawatts of electricity enough to power 1.6 million homes.

Big Tech Is Still Profiting From 9/11 Conspiracy Theories, 20 Years on
On 5/25/21 at 6:00 AM EDT
YouTube, Google, and Apple are all still allowing users to rent or purchase conspiracy theory films like
Loose Change on their platforms despite warnings from government officials, experts, and survivors that it hinders proper education about what happened.
The past 12 months have brought a reckoning for America s tech giants. The de facto role of the likes of Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Twitter as arbiters of the national discourse is under increasing bipartisan scrutiny by the media, politicians, and voters.
This scrutiny is driven by concerns about the incessant dissemination of fake news, conspiracy theories, and harmful misinformation on these transnational platforms.

ON 1 APRIL, Aisling O’Loughlin posted on Instagram for the first time in over seven months.
Although the former TV3 presenter’s feed used to regularly showcase her life as a showbiz reporter, images of her smiling alongside celebrities or glamorously dressed on red carpets slowly disappeared after she was replaced as the co-host of Xposé in 2017.
Over time, a new cast of characters began to feature in her photos: her mother tanning herself on a beach in Clare; a street in France, where O’Loughlin now lives; a tabby cat sprawled on a bed in hazy sunshine.
