U.S. shipbuilders and port operators are facing the fallout of U.S. President Donald Trump’s campaign to wipe out the offshore wind industry, suffering lost government support, vanishing orders and an uncertain future. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/10/23/markets/us-shipbuilders-ports-trump-wind/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #markets #ports #ships #shipping #wind #renewables #us #donaldtrump #trade #tariffs #republicans
"The projects will comprise 3 GW of wind power and 2 GW of solar power, with completion expected within 30 months."
Cost $2.7 billion, delivery time 5 years (with a lot of the power coming on stream a lot earlier) and a high likelyhood of delivering to plan.
Say it delivers 1GW equivalent of 100% Capacity factor source. Still pretty good value.
One of Japan’s leading prefectures for offshore wind power is urging authorities to reissue a tender for two critical projects after Mitsubishi Corp. withdrew from the planned developments due to rising costs. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/10/17/akita-new-tenders-offshore-wind/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #emissions #energy #wind #akita #hokkaido #mitsubishi #renewables
This is remarkable. Can you imagine what people would have said 10 years ago if you said a major mining concern would stop _all_ fossil fuel consumption by 2030 and switch to renewables.

#RenewableEnergy overtook #coal as world's leading source of #electricity in first half of #2025 - a historic first.
Electricity demand is growing around world but growth in #solar and #wind was so strong it met 100% of the extra electricity demand, even helping drive a slight decline in coal and gas use.
Developing countries, especially #China, led the clean energy charge but richer nations including the #US and #EU relied more than before on planet-warming #fossilfuels.

Oregon Accelerates Green Energy Projects Before Trump Phase-Out of Tax Credits
---
Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek told state agencies to take “any and all steps necessary” to expedite solar and wind permits before federal green energy tax credits expire next year. The order prioritizes high-priority projects to begin by July 2026.
