Description
Trump Administration Halts Major Offshore Wind Projects: National Security Concerns CitedThe Trump administration has suspended leases for five major offshore wind projects off the US east coast, citing national security worries raised by the Pentagon. The projects, from companies like Orsted, Avangrid, and Equinor, were set to power about one million homes starting next year. State leaders, Democratic politicians, wind firms, and industry groups are pushing back, arguing the move lacks real justification and could hurt grid reliability and jobs. The affected projects were already reviewed by the Department of Defense with no red flags. Pressure is mounting to restart work fast and keep clean energy flowing.
