Judge tells agencies to restore webpages, data removed after Trump's executive order

A federal judge has told government agencies to restore public access to health-related webpages and datasets they removed to comply with an executive order by President Donald Trump. U.S. District Judge John Bates in Washington agreed Tuesday to issue a temporary restraining order requested by the Doctors for America advocacy group. The judge instructed the government to restore access to several webpages and datasets the group identified as missing from websites. Agencies removed the material after the Republican president signed an order for them to use the term “sex” and not “gender” in federal policies and documents. The scrubbed material includes reports on HIV prevention and a webpage for providing clinicians with guidance on reproductive health care.

The United States has its first large offshore wind farm, with more to come

America's first commercial-scale offshore wind farm is officially open, a long-awaited moment that helps pave the way for a succession of large wind farms. Danish wind energy developer Ørsted and the utility Eversource built a 12-turbine wind farm called South Fork Wind east of Montauk Point, New York. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul went to Long Island Thursday to announce that the turbines are delivering clean power to the local electric grid. It’s a turning point for the industry, but what’s next? Experts say the nation needs a major buildout of this type of clean electricity to address climate change. The Biden administration has approved six commercial-scale offshore wind energy projects.
