The Trump administration on Dec. 23 suspended leases for five large-scale offshore wind projects under construction along the East Coast due to what it said were national security risks identified by the Pentagon.
The suspension, effective immediately, is the latest step by the administration to hobble offshore wind in its push against renewable energy sources.

Masha Zabara marveled at what happened to the forest once deer weren’t around to decimate the understory.
In the fenced 13-acre site in Southern Columbia County, in New York, wildflowers had become reestablished. Tupelo and sassafras trees rose head high. Red maple stump sprouts and oak saplings thrived.
“It was like stepping out to another planet,” Zabara said.

The National Park Service said on Tuesday, Nov. 25 that it is going to start charging the millions of international tourists who visit U.S. parks each year an extra $100 to enter some of the most popular sites, while leaving them out of fee-free days that will be reserved for American residents.
The announcement declaring “America-first entry fee policies” comes as national parks deal with the strain of a major staff reduction and severe budget cuts, along with recovering from damage during the recent government shutdown and significant lost revenue due to fees not being collected during that time.

The Trump administration is telling Colorado to stop importing gray wolves from Canada as part of the state’s efforts to restore the predators, a shift that could hinder plans for more reintroductions this winter.
