The Climate Report for 8/25/22 covers headlines from international, national, state and local news.

First we head to Scotland where the largest wind farm has been switched on this week, with the deepest wind turbines in the world…in 200 ft of turbulent ocean water. Then we talk about new wind turbine blades that can be turned into gummy bears after end of life. Next we run through the list of incentives for homes and individuals contained in the new climate action bill signed into law by Biden. We close with breaking news on the new CA mandate to phase out new gas vehicle sales by 2035.
