One of them is off the Central Coast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The move has led to outrage from green energy advocates in California. “The biggest surprise is the administration is using taxpayer funds that they really aren’t authorized to use to achieve a result that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense,” said Michael Colvin, Director of the California Energy Program with the nonprofit \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.edf.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cb>\u003cu>Environmental Defense Fund\u003c/u>\u003c/b>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2022, three companies purchased offshore federal leases to develop offshore wind projects off Morro Bay. This week, the federal government announced it had reached a $120 million deal with one of the companies, Golden State Wind, to abandon its lease in favor of fossil fuel projects. The company will get the money if it invests $120 million in oil, gas, or liquefied natural gas projects on the Gulf Coast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The move is seen by some members of Congress and the environmental community as an effort to push the Trump Administration’s preference for fossil fuels. “I think that’s part of the problem. They haven’t justified their action,” said Colvin. “They’re taking a personal preference and making it policy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the offshore wind power plans for the Central Coast are far from dead. Three leases were sold. While Golden State agreed to end its lease, two other companies still have active leases. The federal government isn’t supportive of offshore wind power now, but it will be about four years before physical construction gets underway. Colvin said a new administration could be more receptive to wind energy. “The amount of work that needs to be done pre-development is a long lead time, and the projects are going to take longer to develop than this current administration, and they will last far longer than this current administration,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Peach growers get reprieve from federal government \u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Peach growers in the Yuba-Sutter region and Central Valley are being thrown a lifeline from Washington, D.C. A group of bipartisan lawmakers from California announced earlier this week that \u003ca href=\"https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/article315564492.html\">they had secured $9 million in federal aid\u003c/a> to help farmers remove their peach trees and ultimately replace them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congressman Mike Thompson said it’s an important step, after Del Monte Foods’ canning facility in Modesto closed down earlier this year. “They’re going to remove acreage from their farming operation, and USDA, the federal government, is going to step in and provide them with funding,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to U.S. Department of Agriculture projections, the tree removal program could save growers roughly $30 million in projected losses.

Our job is to really try to talk to the students on campus and figure out what issues they’re actually facing and how we can address them in a way that a union might, with a mass movement,” said Kenna Klop-Packel, a member of the Student Union’s leadership team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Klop-Packel said she was already part of a student group called Mathematistas, which focused on community-building and gender equity in the math department.
