Donald Trump's second term has now entered its second month. His administration is doing much to slow down renewables, and everything it can to slow down offshore wind. Jael Holzman is a senior reporter at Heatmap and the author of our newsletter, “The Fight,” about local battles over renewable permitting around the country. On this week's episode of Shift Key, Rob and Jesse talk to Jael about the bleak outlook for offshore wind, the use of presidential authority to impede energy development, and why solar has been spared — so far. Shift Key is hosted by Jesse Jenkins, a professor of energy systems engineering at Princeton University, and Robinson Meyer, Heatmap's executive editor.Mentioned: The FightHeatmap ProOffshore Wind Faces Its ‘Worst Case Scenario' Under TrumpTrump is targeting Dominion's Coastal Virginia offshore wind project in VirginiaA Wave of Anti-Renewables Bills Hits State LegislaturesNew York's Battery BacklashHow Bad Information Is Breaking the Energy TransitionSolar's Growing “Prime Farmland” ProblemJesse's upshift; Rob's upshift.--Music for Shift Key is by Adam Kromelow.

(AURN News) — A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration's buyout program for federal workers who decline to return to office work, just as officials report tens of thousands have already accepted the deal. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Thursday morning that more than 40,000 federal employees had accepted buyout offers before the program was paused. "We expect that number to increase, and that alone, just the 40,000 again, we expect it to increase. It's going to save the American people tens of millions of dollars," Leavitt told reporters outside the White House. The administration's severance package offers eight months of pay and benefits to federal workers, aiming to reduce the federal workforce by 5-10% as part of what officials describe as cost-saving measures. U.S. District Court Judge George O'Toole Jr. in Massachusetts issued the temporary block, with a hearing scheduled for Monday to further address the matter. The original deadline for workers to accept buyouts had been set for Thursday night. The program emerged after the administration ended remote work options for federal employees in an effort to cut the cost and size of the government. "We encourage federal workers in this city to accept the very generous offer. If they don't want to show up to the office, if they want to rip the American people off, then they're welcome to take this buyout, and we'll find highly competent individuals who want to fill these roles," Leavitt said.

Anthony Kuhn, NPR Correspondent in Seoul has the latest on the political crisis in South Korea.

This Day in Legal History: Law of BurgosOn December 27, 1512, the Spanish Crown enacted the Laws of Burgos, marking one of the earliest attempts in European colonial history to regulate interactions between colonizers and indigenous peoples. These laws were implemented primarily in the Caribbean and aimed to address the mistreatment of indigenous populations following the Spanish conquests. They formalized the encomienda system, under which Spanish settlers were granted the right to indigenous labor in exchange for providing religious instruction and protection. The laws also sought to prevent outright abuse by prohibiting physical mistreatment and ensuring that indigenous people received basic sustenance and housing.The Laws of Burgos represented an acknowledgment of the moral and ethical issues raised by colonial expansion, partly influenced by the advocacy of figures like Dominican friar Antonio de Montesinos. However, their practical effectiveness was minimal. Enforcement mechanisms were weak, and colonial administrators often disregarded the rules. The encomienda system itself perpetuated exploitation, as it enabled settlers to maintain control over indigenous labor with little oversight.The laws mandated the conversion of indigenous peoples to Christianity, critics argue that this often served to further entrench colonial domination rather than protect cultural or spiritual rights. Over time, the failure of the Laws of Burgos to alleviate suffering led to further reforms, including the New Laws of 1542, which aimed to abolish the encomienda system altogether. The Laws of Burgos remain a significant moment in legal history for their attempt—however flawed—to impose moral constraints on imperial expansion.The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has reinstated a nationwide injunction against enforcing the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), reversing a decision by a different panel of the same court just days earlier. The CTA, intended to combat money laundering, requires U.S. businesses formed before 2024 to disclose their beneficial owners by January 1, 2025. The law was challenged by Texas Top Cop Shop Inc., a firearms retailer, with representation from the Center for Individual Rights. A district court issued an injunction halting enforcement of the CTA on December 3.However, on December 23, the court's motions panel lifted the injunction, citing the government's strong likelihood of proving the CTA constitutional. This decision was overturned by a separate panel handling the case's merits, which reinstated the injunction to maintain the constitutional status quo until the appeal is fully resolved. The case, titled Texas Top Cop Shop v. Garland, underscores ongoing legal disputes over the balance between regulatory compliance and constitutional protections.If ever allowed to come into law, the CTA would mandate most U.S. entities, including corporations, LLCs, and similar structures, to report their beneficial owners—individuals who exercise substantial control or own at least 25% of the entity—to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). Exemptions apply to certain entities, such as large, publicly traded companies and those already subject to substantial federal oversight. The CTA's reporting requirements are designed to create a centralized registry of beneficial ownership information, accessible to law enforcement and regulatory agencies for investigative purposes. By implementing these measures, the CTA seeks to close gaps in corporate opacity and align U.S. practices with global anti-money laundering standards.Corporate Transparency Act Blocked by US Appeals Court AgainUS appeals court halts enforcement of anti-money laundering law | ReutersJudge Pauline Newman, the oldest active federal judge in the U.S., has accused the Federal Circuit of withholding documents related to her suspension to control the media narrative. In a filing with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, Newman sought to unseal four documents she says highlight Chief Judge Kimberly Moore's and the Judicial Council's evolving demands for her medical records during their investigation into her fitness to serve. Newman argues that the documents, which include a gag order, do not contain sensitive information warranting secrecy and are critical to her due process claims. The Federal Circuit contends that sealing the documents is necessary to preserve fairness and protect broader procedural integrity, asserting that they will be released in due course. Newman, however, criticized the delays as unjustified, claiming they serve only to control public perception. She also alleged selective disclosures by the Judicial Council to favorably shape media coverage during the investigation. Represented by the New Civil Liberties Alliance, Newman continues to challenge her suspension, arguing that the D.C. Circuit has the authority to unseal the contested documents. The case underscores tensions over judicial transparency and due process rights.Newman Accuses Fed. Cir. of Concealing Files to Control MediaBioNTech has reached settlement agreements with the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) over COVID-19 vaccine royalty disputes. The German company, partnered with Pfizer for vaccine production, will pay $791.5 million to the NIH and $467 million to Penn. Penn will dismiss its lawsuit, which alleged that BioNTech underpaid royalties for using mRNA technology developed by Nobel laureates at the university. Pfizer will reimburse BioNTech for portions of the payments: up to $170 million for Penn and $364.5 million for the NIH. The settlements include amendments to BioNTech's licensing agreements with both entities, committing to ongoing royalty payments as a low single-digit percentage of vaccine net sales. Additionally, they establish a framework for licensing the use of NIH and Penn patents in combination products. BioNTech stated that these settlements do not constitute an admission of liability.BioNTech enters settlement with US agency, UPenn over COVID vaccine royalties | ReutersThis week's closing theme is by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, one of the most celebrated composers of the Classical era, was a musical prodigy whose works remain timeless.

The Andante grazioso invites the listener into a world of serene elegance, embodying the Classical ideal of balance and refinement while hinting at the playful brilliance that defines much of Mozart's work.

Jacki has been sounding the alarm for weeks that the most sweeping attempt at criminalizing law-abiding citizens in U.S. history – the so-called “Corporate Transparency Act” or “CTA” - could turn tens of millions of small business owners into felons overnight on January 1, 2025 - simply for failing to learn about the requirement of filing a form disclosing the owners of one's small business. Surveys showed that very few small business owners were even aware of the new law's existence, yet this failure could result in two years in prison! The great news this month is that a federal judge in Texas has preliminarily enjoined, or halted, the enforcement of this law until further proceedings. While the law is not dead, the law-abiding small business owners upon which the economy is built now have a temporary reprieve. Jacki predicts that courts will kill the law in its entirety on multiple grounds of unconstitutionality. While we celebrate, let us not fail to recognize the law for what it was: an attempt to create grounds to round up tens of millions of Americans for spurious, unlawful reasons. Whether you are running a small business in the oil patch or a hair salon, you were on the chopping block.  The country dodged the biggest authoritarian bullet yet.

Two major corporate deals withered on Tuesday. A judge blocked the pending $25 billion merger of grocery chains Kroger and Albertsons, and President Biden reportedly plans to block U.S. Steel's $14.1 billion sale to Nippon Steel. Dealmaking on public markets will continue in 2025, according to Lead Edge Capital founding partner Mitchell Green. The Alibaba, Uber, and Spotify backer discusses the IPO window as we wind down 2024.

Such persecution includes physical violence, murder, threats, damage to property, and disruption of prayer services.  A.C. Michael with United Christian Forum said, “In 2023, we recorded about 750 incidents, which means two Christians were attacked every day in our country. These are organized acts of violence by pro-Hindu groups targeting Christian faiths.”  The organization's latest report documented 673 incidents of violence and discrimination this year between January and October.  India is ranked 11th on the Open Doors' World Watch List of nations where it is most difficult to be a Christian.  Ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah Israel agreed to a ceasefire with Hezbollah militants in Lebanon that went into effect yesterday. This brings a two-month pause to 14 months of fighting between to the two sides in southern Lebanon. The United States and France brokered the agreement.  The incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump claimed credit for the deal. Florida Rep. Mike Waltz is Trump's pick for national security adviser. He posted on X, “Everyone is coming to the table because of President Trump. His resounding victory sent a clear message to the rest of the world that chaos won't be tolerated. I'm glad to see concrete steps towards de-escalation in the Middle East.”  China released three detained American citizens Speaking of coming to the table, China released three American citizens it had detained for years. The White House announced the prisoner swap yesterday. The three Americans are Mark Swidan, Kai Li, and John Leung. The United States had designated them as wrongfully detained. This comes just months after China released David Lin, a Christian pastor from California, who was detained for 20 years in China.  Judged halted sentencing of 7 pro-life activists Last Tuesday, a federal judge in Michigan halted the sentencing of seven pro-life activists.  The pro-lifers were convicted under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act. Some faced over 10 years in prison for protesting at abortion mills. Judge Matthew Leitman delayed proceedings until after Donald Trump takes office.  Trump has already promised to review the cases of those “unjustly victimized by the Biden regime” and get them “back to their families where they belong.” Supreme Court takes up Tennessee transgender case The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in a major transgender case next Wednesday. The case involves a Tennessee law that protects children from transgender drugs and procedures intended to enable children to pretend to be the opposite sex.  Tennessee House of Representatives Majority Leader William Lamberth co-sponsored the measure. He told Reuters, “This case is about protecting vulnerable young people who are experiencing gender dysphoria or other mental health crises from making the biggest mistake of their lives.”  You can sign a prayer commitment for the case through Alliance Defending Freedom which is linked in today's transcript at TheWorldview.com.  U.S. economy grew 2.8% The U.S. economy grew by 2.8% on an annual basis during the third quarter of this year. The Gross Domestic Product is slightly down from 3% during the second quarter. However, the U.S. has seen growth of over 2% for eight out of the last nine quarters. Consumer spending, along with an increase in exports, contributed the latest economic growth. America's history of Thanksgiving The first official National Proclamation of Thanksgiving in America was issued by the Continental Congress on November 1, 1777, in celebration of the victory against the British at the Battle of Saratoga. In 1941, as America confronted a world at war, Congress voted to establish Thanksgiving as a national holiday. In his first Thanksgiving proclamation, President Ronald Reagan wrote: “America has much for which to be thankful. The unequaled freedom enjoyed by our citizens has provided a harvest of plenty to this Nation throughout its history. In keeping with America's heritage, one day each year is set aside for giving thanks to God for all of His blessings. … “Searching our hearts, we should ask what we can do as individuals to demonstrate our gratitude to God for all He has done. Such reflection can only add to the significance of this precious day of remembrance. “Let us recommit ourselves to that devotion to God and family that has played such an important role in making this a great Nation, and which will be needed as a source of strength if we are to remain a great people.” Most popular Thanksgiving verses And finally, Lifeway Research shared the most popular Bible verses during Thanksgiving based on analysis from YouVersion's Bible app. Verses from the Psalms were among the most popular verses in recent years. Lifeway shared 11 verses that appeared on the list of most popular verses at Thanksgiving at least twice during the last five years. Here are the top three: Numbers 6:24-26 says, “May the Lord bless you and protect you; may the Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; may the Lord look with favor on you and give you peace.” 1 Chronicles 16:34 says, “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His faithful love endures forever.” Psalm 100:4-5 says, “Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him and bless His name. For the Lord is good, and His faithful love endures forever; His faithfulness, through all generations.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thanksgiving, Thursday, November 28th, in the year of our Lord 2024. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.
