Faith & Environment Weekly Tip:
The U.S. is moving forward on our climate change initiative in a big way, using renewable energy. This project alone will power over one and a half million homes without greenhouse gas emissions.
"California could launch the west coast’s first commercial offshore windfarms"
California has taken a major step towards launching the first commercial offshore wind energy program on the west coast, a project that would open the state’s waters to hundreds of floating turbines and could eventually power 1.6m homes.
