Trump’s War on Offshore Wind Leaves U.S. Workers in Limbo

United States President Trump has strongly criticised wind power since coming into office, introducing several executive actions aimed at restricting the development of wind farms. Trump has particularly targeted offshore wind, leading to several projects being put on hold or cancelled.

The on-again-off-again nature of U. S. offshore wind has hit workers hard, creating job insecurity and posing the threat of permanent project cancellations, at a time when renewable energy jobs were expected to be more stable.
