U.S. to develop major wind farms along coastlines
Plans for 30 gigawatts of offshore energy by 2030
NBC Boston
The Biden administration has announced a plan to develop large-scale wind farms along nearly the entire coastline of the U.S.
This marks the first long-term strategy from the government to produce electricity from offshore turbines.
The Interior Secretary says the U.S. will lease federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico, Gulf of Maine and off the coasts of the Mid-Atlantic states by 2025.
This comes months after the Biden administration approved the nation’s first commercial offshore wind farm off the coast of Massachusetts.
The move will help to reduce the nation’s reliance on fossil fuels and to meet the climate targets of cutting emissions by 50 per cent by 2030.

EU launches antitrust probe into Meta over WhatsApp AI policy
EU probes Meta’s WhatsApp AI chatbot policy for potential antitrust violations affecting third-party developers and competition.
EU probes Meta’s WhatsApp AI chatbot policy for potential antitrust violations affecting third-party developers and competition.
The European Commission has opened an antitrust investigation into Meta over WhatsApp’s new AI chatbot policy. The inquiry examines whether the policy restricts third-party AI developers from accessing WhatsApp’s business tools, potentially breaching EU competition rules.
Meta updated its terms, effective January 2026, which have already barred new AI providers since October 15. The rules prohibit AI developers from using WhatsApp as their primary service, affecting a number of AI companies looking to integrate with the platform.
The EU’s competition commissioner is considering interim measures to ensure fair competition. If Meta is found in violation, it could face fines of up to 10% of its global annual revenue.
