Trump Administration Halts Offshore Wind Farms, Citing National Security
President Donald Trump’s Department of the Interior announced Monday that it is pausing leases for 5 large-scale offshore wind projects off the East Coast.

President Donald Trump’s Department of the Interior announced Monday that it is pausing leases for 5 large-scale offshore wind projects off the East Coast.

Multiple reports over the weekend indicated that President-elect Donald Trump is promising near-immediate action to shut down offshore wind farm projects throughout the Northeast United States, which were widely unpopular with locals who feared the industrialization of their natural shorelines and environmental destruction.

California has approved a plan to create a “massive” system of floating offshore wind turbines, some as high as 70-story buildings, far off the coast and in deep waters, requiring major upgrades to ports along the state’s coastline.

People hoping to find work assembling offshore wind turbine engines and blades at the Port of Coeymans in New York are out of luck.

The construction of a major wind energy project previously touted by the Biden administration as an example of positive “Bidenomics” has been canceled, with developers citing “inflation, interest rates and supply chain disruptions.”

Zero. That was the sum total of new UK offshore wind projects bought by developers at a key government auction Thursday, as renewable energy groups shunned the sector as unviable even with heavy taxpayer subsidies.

New Jersey’s veteran fishing community fears surveying to install offshore wind turbines near the state’s shore is already causing tremendous environmental damage, one local boat captain told Breitbart News, asserting that, in his experience, “dead whales on our beach absolutely and logically have everything to do with the oceanic geo-surveys.”

The Biden administration on Wednesday approved the Orsted A/S’s Ocean Wind 1 project, setting the stage for installation of a massive wind farm in the waters off New Jersey while ignoring the protests of locals who will be forced to share their environment with as many as 98 turbines.
