It sits alongside The Pulse, our English-language magazine for science and nature, and focuses on one question: what does the energy transition look like on the ground and on the water in the United States?<\/p>\n<p>We report on offshore wind farms rising off America\u2019s coasts, onshore projects across the plains, photovoltaic plants and rooftops, and the vessels, ferries and ports that build, service and increasingly run on clean power. Every story is grounded in primary sources such as federal agencies, grid operators, project filings and peer-reviewed research.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"tp-about-sec\">\n<h2>What we cover<\/h2>\n<div class=\"tp-about-sublead\">Four desks, one focus: the hardware of America\u2019s energy future.<\/div>\n<p><div class=\"tp-about-chips\"><a class=\"tp-about-chip\" href=\"https:\/\/ecoportal.net\/us\/offshore\/\">Offshore<\/a><a class=\"tp-about-chip\" href=\"https:\/\/ecoportal.net\/us\/onshore\/\">Onshore<\/a><a class=\"tp-about-chip\" href=\"https:\/\/ecoportal.net\/us\/photovoltaic\/\">Photovoltaic<\/a><a class=\"tp-about-chip\" href=\"https:\/\/ecoportal.net\/us\/ships-boats\/\">Ships &amp; Boats<\/a><\/div><br \/>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"tp-about-sec\">\n<h2>How we work<\/h2>\n<div class=\"tp-about-grid\">\n<div class=\"tp-about-card\">\n<div class=\"tp-about-card-k\">Primary sources first<\/div>\n<p>We link to the original data, filing or study behind every key claim, so readers can check it themselves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tp-about-card\">\n<div class=\"tp-about-card-k\">Clear, not simplified<\/div>\n<p>Technical topics are explained in plain language without losing the numbers that matter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tp-about-card\">\n<div class=\"tp-about-card-k\">Corrections, fast<\/div>\n<p>If we get something wrong, we fix it and say so.
