Trump’s tariffs added $4M to this Virginia wind project in just a few weeks

Dominion Energy says if Trump’s tariffs continue, they could add up to $500 million in costs to its Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project.

Off the coast of Virginia, Dominion Energy is building what will be the largest offshore wind facility in the U.S., a 2.6-gigawatt project that will provide energy to as many as 660,000 homes. It has been under construction since 2023 and is expected to be completed by 2026—but President Donald Trump’s tariffs are adding to the project’s costs.

Ready for stagflation? Here’s how the Trump tariffs could take us back to the not-so-groovy 70s

When inflation joins forces with stagnant economic growth and adds a side of high unemployment, the result is stagflation. Here’s what you need to know about this economic quicksand.

Just over a month ago, economists were so frightened of a potential recession they refused to call it by its name. The dreaded R word kept the financial punditry quaking in their boots on news shows—which feels a bit quaint now that we’re seeing signs of a possible stagflation on the horizon.

Bird Buddys new pollinator cam is a Kickstarter hit: I got to see it in person

Scores of new gadgets are introduced every year at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the tech world's biggest showcase. Yet many of these products never make it to market. They're only proofs of concept or prototypes of devices that could maybe one day potentially hit the market.

Near the center of the Milky Way are enormous filaments of radio energy that sometimes look like bones, and one in particular has astronomers playing orthopaedists.
