Friends - that business in Washington will pre-empt today's Charlotte Talks weekly news roundup from the airwaves, but we'll still be on Facebook Live. Head over to the WFAE page at 9:00 am, where we'll be talking about politics, the city's #MLS pro soccer bid, Congressional redistricting, downtown development and more. The show also airs Saturday at 7am and again Monday. Today's panel will include yours truly, Katie Peralta, Glenn Burkins and Nick Ochsner. Join us.

One company - @Avangrid - has a license for an area 24 miles off the Outer Banks and is now surveying. More on @wfae and WFAE.org #windenergy #renewableenergy
