Executive freeze on offshore wind

Updated: 2025.10.16 5D ago 2 sources
The administration has canceled $679 million for a dozen offshore wind projects and issued stop‑work orders, including on Rhode Island’s near‑complete Revolution Wind. Officials are also moving to halt large projects off Maryland and Nantucket. Citing 'national security' and environmental concerns, the federal executive is wielding rapid administrative tools to dismantle multi‑billion‑dollar renewable builds. — This shows how federal executive power can swiftly reset climate and energy strategy, chilling investment and reshaping U.S. decarbonization timelines.
