Scottish villagers are concerned about how plans for a 17-turbine wind farm will affect their countryside home.

The former president’s claims shine a clear light on the misinformation now flowing between conservative fossil-fuel aligned groups, right-wing media and GOP lawmakers.

Prosecutors arrested Lower House member Masatoshi Akimoto on Sept. 7 on suspicion of taking 61.46 million yen ($417,000) in bribes over the government's wind farm projects in exchange for favorable questioning in the Diet.

In a first-of-its kind auction for the Gulf of Mexico, a company bid $5.6 million Tuesday to lease federal waters off the Louisiana coast for wind energy generation. It was a modest start for wind energy in the Gulf, which lags the Northeast in offshore wind power development. The Biden administration said the tract covers more than 102,000 acres (41,200 hectares) with the potential for generation of 1.24 gigawatts, enough wind power to supply 435,000 homes.

The Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Indians are concerned. “The Tribe supports any green economic development project that follows the law and does not harm local fishing jobs, our environment, or Tribal cultural resources,” Tribal Council Chair Brad Kneaper said in a press release. “We cannot support offshore wind development until we are provided assurance that it will do good and not harm the Tribe, its members, and the greater community.”
