Description
Energy companies have struggled to finance their offshore wind power
projects, threatening a key part of President Joe Biden’s clean energy
transition. The Biden administration is hoping the offshore wind
industry will produce at least enough power for 10 million American
homes by 2030. POLITICO’s Ry Rivard breaks down the industry’s financial
woes and why 2023 could be a decisive year. Plus, federal and state
authorities reached a deal with the city of Jackson, Miss., to hand
control of its troubled sewer system over to a third-party manager.
