Tropical Storm Rafael Intensifies, Threatens U.S. with Heavy Rain

Tropical Storm Rafael is intensifying in the Caribbean and is expected to reach hurricane strength as it approaches Cuba, posing risks of damaging winds and rainfall. The storm could bring storm surges and possible tornadoes to the Florida Keys and southern Florida. Rafael is projected to weaken before reaching the US Gulf Coast, where hurricanes in November are rare. The storm follows recent destructive hurricanes in the region, exacerbated by record-high sea surface temperatures linked to global warming.

"US Gulf's Offshore Wind Auction Ignites Green Hydrogen Drive"

The U.S. Gulf Coast, known for its oil and gas industry, is set to hold its first-ever offshore wind auction, with companies eyeing the sale as an opportunity to fuel a new green hydrogen supply chain for the region's industrial corridor. Green hydrogen, produced with renewable energy, can help decarbonize heavy-emitting industries and transportation. While the Gulf Coast lacks state mandates for renewable energy procurement and has lower wind speeds compared to the Northeast, tax credits for hydrogen in President Biden's Inflation Reduction Act have made the proposition of pairing offshore wind with hydrogen production more attractive. The auction is part of the Biden administration's efforts to reduce power sector emissions and combat climate change.
