New York Refuses To Give More Money For Offshore Wind Projects As Cheap "Green" Myth Implodes   The New York state authorities have rejected a request by Orsted, BP, and Equinor for raising the price of electricity in future power purchase contracts featuring offshore wind energy. Offshore wind developers have been pressured by rising raw material and component costs, and higher borrowing costs, which has cast doubt over the viability of many projects. Indeed, Reuters   reported   that some projects planned for the waters off the coast of New York may need to be reconsidered in light of the authorities’ decision. "Sunrise Wind's viability and therefore ability to be constructed are extremely challenged without this adjustment," Orsted told Reuters. Sunrise Wind   is an offshore project with a planned capacity of 924 MW that could supply electricity to 600,000 households. According to Orsted, it would also invol

Two Murders—and the Cost of Luxury Beliefs The death of two progressive activists shocked the nation. And that says everything about crime and class in America.

On Monday night, blocks away from the Capitol in Washington, D.C., Congressman Henry Cuellar was  carjacked  by three armed men. (The lawmaker survived the incident unscathed.) In February, Angie Craig was attacked in an

  An Animal You Only See in Zoos never in the wild CHRIS BRAY If you haven’t seen it,  here’s video  of the “socially minded” CEO of Harry’s Razors describing his commitment to nurturing both “birthing people” and “non-birthing people” at his company. Remember this public language, and let’s talk about something else for a moment. A few years ago, I spent a week trying to recruit other families for a quick weekend camping trip into the mountains. I failed, so I told my daughter — my wife regards sleeping on the ground in the woods as so incomprehensible an activity it seems barely human — to expect a quiet weekend of hiking and reading. And indeed, it started that way. But, as my uterus-having birthing partner and I often note in discussion, we’ve somehow created a ruthlessly efficient  machine  of extroversion. The first time I looked up from my book, my daughter was sitting on the other side of our campsite with another girl; twenty minutes later, she was up to four. By dinner there
