Here’s where Trump has canceled wind farms – and how states are pushing back

President Donald Trump has actively opposed offshore wind energy projects in the United States, reversing policies established under his predecessor. Over the past year, the Trump administration has negotiated agreements with private companies to cancel at least nine offshore wind leases, offering refunds totaling over $2.7 billion in exchange for investments in fossil fuels. These actions have drawn criticism from clean energy advocates, who argue that halting wind projects undermines efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lower energy costs. Some states have responded by suing the federal government, challenging the legality of these cancellations. Environmental groups warn that using taxpayer funds to subsidize fossil fuels harms both consumers and the transition to renewable energy.
