Opponents of offshore wind energy projects expect President-elect Donald Trump to kill an industry he has vowed to end on the first day he returns to the White House. But it might not be that easy. Many of the largest offshore wind companies put a brave face on the election results, pledging to work with Trump and Congress to build power projects and ignoring the incoming president's oft-stated hostility to them. In campaign appearances, Trump railed against offshore wind and promised to sign an executive order to block such projects. We are going to make sure that that ends on Day 1, Trump said in a May speech. I'm going to write it out in an executive order. It's going to end on Day 1." They destroy everything, they're horrible, the most expensive energy there is, Trump said. They ruin the environment, they kill the birds, they kill the whales. Numerous federal and state scientific agencies say there is no evidence linking offshore wind preparation to a spate of whale deaths al

Kerala can save Rs 9,000 crore over a five-year period if they replace coal power purchases with renewable energy contracts by 2040, according to a new study. If the southern state replaces its scheduled purchases of coal power from central sector plants with new renewable energy at an average tariff of Rs 3/kWh, the state would save approximately Rs 969 crore per annum, it said. The report also suggests a transition pathway that sees the most expensive central sector power contracts phased out first, saving the state Rs 4,505 crore through the phase-out of 1560 MW of coal power by 2026-27, the study further said. The significant findings were made by think-tank Climate Risk Horizons (CRH). This finding comes just months after Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan announced that the state will aim for 100 per cent renewable energy over the next 17 years. In addition to explaining the financial and climate-related benefits of this move, the CRH report also charts out the transition pa
