This Week at Interior - US DOI Social Media

[Arthas]

The US Department of Interior publishes a weekly YouTube video summarizing notable events at the US DOI. These videos are informative and serve as a useful starting point to conduct self guided research on many DOI topics that directly or indirectly impact hunters, outdoor recreationists, and generally American citizens interested in how their tax dollars are spent.

Here is a link to the most recent "This week at Interior" video.

This installment summarizes:

-Approval of Empire 1 and 2 offshore wind facilities.

-Outline of 460 million dollars in fiscal yr spending for climate resiliency work via BIL.

-Wolverine ESA addition.

-Critical mineral supply chain boost efforts from USGS.

-CITES meeting Switzerland

Neat, hopefully they can keep it depoliticized.

Most social media from govmnt like this has some type of PR spin but the general purpose is to inform. The open records nature of government operation means much more information is openly available if you do your own research. Of course reading between the lines and some stuff is not out there. Overall, it's a good source to get quick news points about big items from DOI.

Yeah,
You can see the priorities and where our gov spends its money. ( be prepared to be sickened)

The offshore windmill thing just had a company bail as it isn’t viable- duh. What a total waste.
