WindPower = Pixal x Morro

Named as such because Morro’s element is wind, and wind power is an actual real source of clean energy. Pixal is a Nindroid, thus relating to the machinery used in wind power.

We're making fast progress, change is here.

The Interior Department finalized a plan today to conduct offshore oil and gas lease sales over the next five years. The plan offers 3 auctions between 2024 and 2029 in the Gulf of Mexico.

“I feel disgusted and incredibly let down by Biden’s offshore drilling plan. It piles more harm on already-struggling ecosystems, endangered species and the global climate,” said Brady Bradshaw, senior oceans campaigner at the Center for Biological Diversity. “We need Biden to commit to a fossil fuel phaseout, but actions like this condemn us to oil spills, climate disasters and decades of toxic harm to communities and wildlife.”

...

The IRA(Inflation Reduction Act) also ties the federal government’s ability to issue future leases for offshore wind power to offshore oil and gas leasing, requiring it to have offered at least 60 million acres to the oil industry in the one-year period prior to issuing the wind lease. But researchers have found that President Biden will exceed his goal of building 30 gigawatts of wind power capacity by 2030 without new oil leasing in a five-year plan. A separate report demonstrates that the U.S. can meet its energy needs many times over without burdening more ecosystems by utilizing already-developed or degraded land on which to build renewable energy.

The Biden administration has the legal authority to issue a plan with no new leases and to create a plan for a managed decline of fossil fuel production on existing leases.

Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) is acquiring 100% of Scotland-based Flotation Energy's issued shares through their subsidiary, TEPCO Renewable Power. The deal marks TEPCO's first major venture into offshore wind markets in the UK and overseas. Flotation Energy currently holds a stake in two offshore wind projects in the UK - the 480 MW Morecambe offshore wind farm, awarded as part of the country’s recent Leasing Round 4, as well as the 100 MW White Cross wind test and demonstration project, also awarded by the Crown Estate. The company has a 12 GW pipeline of commercial-scale, fixed-bottom and floating wind projects in the UK, Ireland, Taiwan, Japan and Australia, and plans to expand into many more key markets.
