Description
Across the country, there’s an increasingly coordinated network of
activists and organizations that have succeeded in energizing political
opposition to offshore wind projects, which is a major part of President
Joe Biden’s clean energy strategy. POLITICO’s E&E News reporter Benjamin
Storrow traces the coalition’s growth and influence, along with how
scientists and environmentalists are reacting. Plus, new data shows that
explosive growth in solar power will help most countries in the European
Union hit their 2030 renewable energy targets ahead of time.
