A new study has scientists ‘cautiously optimistic’ about the survival of one of the world’s most endangered whales
North Atlantic right whales were expected to go extinct within our lifetime, but a new report found the population estimate for the critically endangered species was 384 in 2024, an eight-whale increase from the previous year.
The New England Aquarium confirmed that the rare species has shown “slow growth” in the last four years overall.
Although they gained protection from whaling in the 1930s, the North Atlantic right whale remains at risk of vessel strikes and entanglements with fishing gear.
Why is this good news? While this uptick might seem small, it’s actually a considerable milestone for right whales, which have been headed towards extinction. The increase, combined with no detected mortalities and fewer detected injuries, has scientists “cautiously optimistic” about their future.
Analysts predict the next few years will see a renewable energy boom in the U.S.
The federal government may be ending or making it more challenging to secure renewable energy project subsidies — but it’s led companies to race to start and finish wind, solar, and battery projects faster than they perhaps originally planned.
The pipeline for new projects has grown so significantly, analysts are predicting that the U.S. will add record or near-record amounts of renewable energy and batteries through 2027, with one raising its forecast by over 10%.
The nuance: While the U.S. is expected to see an initial boom in renewable energy in the next few years, the efforts to end renewable energy subsidies will mean that fewer wind and solar farms will be developed than would have been if they’d remained in place, “unless something changes.”
