We’re pretty focused on water in this edition, starting with the federal government’s plan to market leases for more than 80 million acres in the Gulf of Mexico as well as areas offshore Alaska. From there, we move to hydro-powered energy storage and wind farms off the Atlantic Coast before taking the temperature of the offshore sector. The odd bird in our bunch tackles the growth and importance of long-duration storage. Sit down, grab a glass of water and enjoy reading this week's lineup.
