State and City Progress Toward 100 % Clean Energy — Kelly Trumbull, UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation

“Despite federal policy designed to promote fossil fuels, a renewable energy transition is underway, led by communities and states throughout the U.S. A growing number of cities are choosing to transition to 100% clean energy – and dozens have already hit that target – while the list of states committed to a 100% renewable energy future also continues to grow. This local and state demand has contributed to a near doubling of renewable energy generation since 2008.”

Dominion Offshore Wind Update — TBA

“Dominion Energy is proposing a major offshore wind farm off the coast of Virginia Beach that would be the largest of its kind in the country. The company said Thursday that it plans to expand a test project that’s already under construction to build up to 220 giant wind turbines on a patch of ocean 27 miles off the coast. The project would generate 2,600 megawatts of electricity by 2026, enough energy to power 650,000 homes. It is estimated to cost $7.8 billion.” — Washington Post
