“President Trump has America’s wind-energy industry at a standstill,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“Developers are delaying some projects and writing down the value of investments. Plans are hanging in limbo.”
“During his campaign, Trump directed fierce criticism to offshore wind projects, which he promised to ‘end on day one.’ His first wave of executive orders included a pause for federal permits and leasing for wind projects on land and at sea.”
