Description
Trump Administration Halts Largest U.S. Offshore Wind Project: National Security Concerns CitedThe Trump administration has halted the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project, the largest of its kind in the U.S., along with four other East Coast wind farms. The decision, announced on Monday, was due to national security concerns raised by the Pentagon, including radar interference from turbine blades and reflective towers. Dominion Energy, the projects developer, saw a significant drop in shares, while the project was set to power over 600,000 homes with 176 turbines. Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin supports the effort, and the Interior Department aims to work with leaseholders and states to address risks. The situation is evolving, so stay tuned for more updates on clean energy goals and defense needs.
