This time, In a total villain move, Donald Trump has frozen all offshore wind projects. And he did it at two donors' request.
This reckless and corrupt decision threatens the nation's climate goals, puts thousands of clean energy jobs at risk, and forces states to rely on polluting fossil fuels to meet their energy needs.
The consequences of Trump's decision are dire. Climate change continues to worsen every year, and humans are feeling the intensifying effects through wildfires, hurricanes, drought, heat waves, and more.
States like New York and New Jersey had set ambitious plans to transition to renewable energy, relying on offshore wind to meet their targets. New York alone planned to generate 9,000 megawatts of offshore wind power by 2035 — enough to power millions of homes with clean energy. Fully implementing offshore wind projects along the East Coast would cut carbon emissions by 50 million tons annually. This is the equivalent of shutting down 131 gas-fired power plants.
But two of Trump's wealthy donors, both with interests in fossil fuels, didn't want offshore wind farms near their properties.
