📰 News we're reading

• Diesel Power Plays Temporary Role in Offshore Wind Development (ecori.org) — New Shoreham once burned about a million gallons of diesel a year for electricity, a dependence sharply reduced by the Block Island Wind Farm. This piece explains how temporary diesel generators are actually used in offshore wind projects like Revolution Wind, debunking claims that turbines secretly run on diesel and comparing their limited role to the heavy, ongoing diesel use on fossil fuel platforms and other industries.
