Missing Tobago fishermen rescued after 4 days
Two Tobago fishermen defied the odds, surviving four harrowing days stranded at sea in what many are calling a ‘miracle’. Albert “BB” James and Junior “Flehbeh” Thorne disappeared after leaving Pigeon Point Fish Port early Tuesday morning to set three fish pots at an undisclosed location. But what began as a routine trip quickly turned into a life-threatening ordeal when their boat engine failed, leaving them powerless and drifting into the ocean. As hours turned into days and the men did not return home, desperate family members sounded the alarm, triggering a search effort led by the Tobago Emergency Management Agency (TEMA). The search included fishermen and several agencies, among them the Coast Guard, Air Guard, and North Post Radio. more, >>CLICK TO READ<< 16:45

CFACT Comments on the California Offshore Wind Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS)
BOEM is taking comments on a draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) for its five floating wind offshore leases off the California coast. This is BOEM’s second offshore wind PEIS. The first was for a set of leases off New York which featured fixed bottom turbines. This is the first PEIS for floating wind turbines which are very different from the fixed turbines being built along the Atlantic coast. Floating wind is still an immature technology with a large number of proposed designs none of which has been tested at commercial utility scale. There are just a handful of small demonstration scale projects in the world. It is clear that this PEIS is woefully inadequate. In fact it specifically avoids those issues that justify cancelling the Program. The cumulative impact threat is treated in more detail below. more, >>CLICK TO READ<< 07:36
