They have good intentions and a purposeful plan.”Karlsson in August was traded by the Sharks to Pittsburgh in a three-team deal that brought back to San Jose forwards Mikael Granlund and Matt Hoffman, defenseman Jan Rutta, and a conditional Penguins first-round dr...

Donald Trump strength is clear in Florida as Gov. Ron DeSantis tries to move past ‘nonsense’

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 03:19:57 GMT

KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) — A booth at the Florida Republican Party’s Freedom Summit made swift business of Donald Trump merchandise on Saturday, selling everything from socks to bathtub rubber ducks that paid tribute to the former president.Vendor Peter Crotty also had Ron DeSantis T-shirts. But he discounted those items from their original $25 down to $5, an 80% discount on the Florida governor’s name. The excess inventory needed to go, Crotty said.It was just one sign of Trump’s strength and DeSantis’ challenges in the 2024 Republican primary fight. Barely two months from the first nominating ballots being cast, Trump is flaunting his advantages by trying to embarrass the governor in the two rivals’ shared home state, where party activists on Saturday cheered any mention of the former president and booed at any criticisms of the GOP 2024 front-runner.“Florida has shown the way forward for the Republican Party,” DeSantis told the crowd, drawing applause ...

Sails sag for US offshore wind projects, jeopardizing Biden clean energy goals

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 03:19:57 GMT

The cancellation of two large offshore wind projects in New Jersey is the latest in a series of setbacks for the nascent U.S. offshore wind industry, including three projects in New England, jeopardizing the Biden administration’s goals of powering 10 million homes from towering ocean-based turbines by 2030 and establishing a carbon-free electric grid five years later.The Danish wind energy developer Ørsted said this week it’s scrapping its Ocean Wind I and II projects off southern New Jersey due to problems with supply chains, higher interest rates and a failure to obtain the amount of tax credits the company wanted. Together, the projects were supposed to deliver over 2.2 gigawatts of power.The news comes after developers in New England canceled power contacts for three projects that would have provided another 3.2 gigawatts of wind power to Massachusetts and Connecticut. They said their projects were no longer financially feasible.In total, the cancellations equate to nearly one-...
