WASHINGTON (September 8, 2025)- In August, the White House abruptly stopped the Revolution Wind project in the Atlantic Ocean. Last Friday, Energy Secretary Chris Wright defended the administration's decision saying offshore wind increases electricity prices and downplayed the jobs at stake,
The New York Times reports that “The White House has taken the extraordinary step of instructing a half-dozen agencies to draft plans to thwart the country’s offshore wind industry as it intensifies its governmentwide attack on a source of renewable energy that President Trump has criticized as ugly, expensive and inefficient”
