President Trump has long been paved with offshore wind power. Unsightly turbines are associated with many dead whales cleaning at the beach and costing more than any other form of energy. Their recent developments have been approved by the Biden administration run by climate activists. Inflation reduction methodsor something that President Trump likes to call “a green new scam.”
Day 1 of his administration, President issued An executive order suspending offshore wind development pending review. This was big news for MAGA voters, real environmentalists, hundreds of endangered species of whales and thousands of dolphins, mice and seals. It is permitted Harassment and murder of the offshore wind industry. President Trump continues to resist offshore winds in public whenever he has the chance to get.
Secretary of Home Affairs Doug Burgham has the department responsible for leasing and permitting offshore wind projects, but it appears he has recently received a message. Posted In X: “On the first day, @potus stopped the wind offshore this That’s exactly why. The offshore wind industry is expensive and unreliable, causing serious concern. ”
However, the Ministry of Home Affairs has not yet taken any final action. Construction could begin on or around May 1st, if not earlier, depending on the weather, four of the nine East Coast offshore wind projects approved by the Biden administration. These include Dominion Energy, the largest offshore wind project in the United States, anywhere Offshore winds along the Virginia coastas in Orsted’s The wind of revolution Rhode Island and Connecticut Coast, Equiners Imperial Wind 1 Offshore New York City and another Danish company project; Vineyard Wind 1 Offshore Massachusetts.
In addition to the president’s executive order, Secretary Burgham Enough legal authority Suspend leases and permits to conduct project reviews. Any agreement between the Ministry of Home Affairs and offshore wind developers allows the department to modify the terms of the permit or impose additional conditions approved by law or regulations.
The facts and circumstances regarding the offshore-style project could very well be given a short reduction by the enthusiastic Biden administration. These include offshore wind effects. Commercial navigation, Naval operations,Commercial and Recreational Fishingand a comprehensive analysis that has cumulative effects on protected marine mammals, particularly the highly endangered North Atlantic right-hand arm.

Right whale researchers say there are only about 400 right whales remaining. The Green Group and the Biden administration have used the extremely rare and accidental whale presence by lobster gear as an excuse to attack the main lobster industry. Oddly, nonetheless, the Biden administration was explicit permission It harasses and kills twice the right whales that are thought to exist in the offshore wind industry.
Also, regarding whales, there is an ongoing process. Litigation Between the Nonprofit Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (cfact)and Heartland Research Institute (Disclosure: I am a member of the Heartland board of directors) for the Dominion Energy project. However, the company was able to take advantage of the tedious federal litigation process. They hope to have the construction done before making an unfavourable judicial ruling. The judges may be very unlikable to halt partially built projects due to the sunken costs.
President Trump campaigned to save whales and others from the offshore winds and followed up on the executive order. But many of the first Trump administrations were hampered from within by bureaucrats who styled themselves as “resistance.” It may not be enough to issue directives to agent staff and expect the order to be implemented. Someone needs to see his execution.
