Trump's Wind Project Pause: East Coast's Clean Energy Hurdle

Update: 2025-12-28

Description

President Trumps 90-day pause on major offshore wind projects, citing national security concerns, threatens clean energy progress on the East Coast. North Carolinas wind potential, both offshore and onshore, faces hurdles including coastal community concerns, military bases, environmental worries, and Duke Energys hesitation. Experts argue the projects passed extensive reviews, with Dominion Energy already filing a federal lawsuit. Trumps personal beef with wind turbines and fossil fuel favoritism, coupled with exploding data center demand, could scare off future funders. Wind energy, with its nighttime and storm-time benefits, remains an ideal solution, with onshore farms like North Carolinas Timbermill Wind already boosting local taxes and jobs.
