President Donald Trump, President Donald Trump, shows a sharp departure from the Green Energy Policy of the Biden administration January 20 Presidential order Temporarily stop selling offshore wind leases in the federal water area, and suspends the approval, permission, and loan issuance of both offshore and land wind projects.

Trump, a straightforward critic on wind power generation, especially offshore wind power generation projects, uses the federal government’s permission process to tie the proposed winds with infinite red tape, and do so. We are planning to keep money in the capital -aged wind power project. (Related: Trump released his day’s energy blitz -what is it now?)

Trump has overturned the common stories around the world, which surrounds the importance of wind power when fighting climate change, and has questioned the economic and environmental legitimacy of offshore wind turbines. The Trump instruction is that when a rigorous review process is an offshore wind developer, “the increase in the country to trust energy, the importance of marine life, the impact on the sea current, and the wind pattern are satisfied. We have the need to nurture the energy economy that can be developed, all of which have the impact of all American energy costs, at least, maintains a robust fishery for the future generation. To provide low -cost energy.

The Trump White House has the possibility that leases and permissions of federal government’s land and offshore winds have a negative effect on voyage safety, transportation, national security, commercial interests, and marine mammals I say that there is. In addition, Trump’s presidential orders require multiple evaluations to “take into account the impact of the economic cost associated with intermittent power generation and the impact on the execution of the wind industry.”

In 2021, the Biden administration was confident Set your goal 30 gigawatts (GW) offshore -like power generation by 2030. The industry was boosted by the generous federal subsidy and the permission process in Washington.

But things are not done according to the plan. The dream that the US coastline is overflowing immediately, thousands of wind turbines hit hundreds of feet in the air, colliding with the harsh economy, politics, and environmental reality.

Multiple offshore wind developers tried to cancel or negotiate the power contract due to rising material costs, rising interest rates, bottle necks of supply chains, and rising resistance by coastal communities. The offshorewind industry was symbolized by the breakdown of the turbine blade, which was widely reported in 2024, in the winds of Massachusetts.

The incident reflects only one of many environmental concerns surrounding the wind of the offshore.

“Construction crew housed in floating hotels -Use a huge device to stack anchor on the seabed.” Report。 “Others lay a sturdy submarine cable and build an offshore substation. Once the turbine runs, the maintenance screws are sailed and keeps the blades with the powerful wind of the sea. All of them are on the ship. Create strikes, clashes with turbines, and violent underwater noise.

There has been a long concern that the wind turbine along the east coast may hinder the route of the right whale, which is in the crisis of extinction. The New Jersey coast is the target of the developer of wind power, but the water area from the jersey shore is also home to the right whale.

One month before Trump’s election, the Marine Energy Management Bureau (BOEM) Approved The Atlantic Shoears South Project increases 1,000 feet from 15 to 20 miles away from the Garden’s coast to build and operate up to 200 wind turbines. After Trump’s actions, the future of the project is now doubtful.

“We believe in the issued presidential order [Jan. 20] Robin Shaffer, president of Protect Our Coast NJ, is the first step in future management measures, the first step to stop the large -scale wind industry in the United States as well as wind power. I said Washington Times.

It may be more than just hopeful observation. Trump also ordered a temporary stop of developing Lava Ridge Wind Project in the federal land of Idaho. The President has instructed the Ministry of Home Affairs to implement a “new comprehensive analysis of various interests related to lava wind power projects and potential environments.”

Currently, it is targeting the facilities of Idaho, and there is nothing to prevent the Trump administration from setting vision in other proposed land -style projects. Wind developers have few options other than trying all of this in court. This can lead to further delays and higher costs in the industry that is already suffering from reducing expectations.

It is suffering from subsidies and renewable energy obligations, and is promoted by claims that climate change is a solution, and the risk of wind power is reduced by its own drawbacks.

This is an intermittent, inefficient and environmental destructive energy source. Also, like solar power, it cannot respond to the growing demand for power brought by Trifecta Energy-Hungry AI, data center, and quantum computing.

Even worse, Washington had a government that knew this.
