Climate change is neither an endpoint nor a talking point. It’s a reality we’re all part of, a state of constant movement, and still filled with uncharted territories. During NPR’s Climate Solutions Week (October 2-8), we’re focusing on the way things are going, and the way forward that’s envisioned by people working to protect their communities and the planet.

It's NPR Climate Solutions Week. Across the network, we're talking about how to slow the effects of climate change. Offshore wind is a powerful source of clean, renewable energy. But it's deployment along U.S. shores has been slowed by supply chain challenges and significant local opposition. Just last week, the Biden Administration approved the nation's tenth offshore wind project. It's part of the president's goal to power 10 million American homes with offshore wind by the end of the decade. But Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has vowed to cancel all projects on his first day in the Oval Office. We discuss how offshore wind can help slow climate change. Want to support 1A?
