Trump has vowed to kill US offshore wind projects. Will he succeed?
Opponents of offshore wind energy projects expect President-elect Donald Trump to kill an industry he has vowed to end on the first day he returns to the White House. Whether he will succeed is unclear. Numerous offshore wind projects have approvals and at least three are operating. Foes of the industry say Trump could prohibit future offshore wind leases and exert leverage over projects that are not as far along. The wind industry has offered to work with Trump and his allies in Congress, highlighting job creation and energy independence.
