Tap title to read story
The Trump administration halted Equinor's $5 billion Empire Wind project off New York, citing insufficient review by the previous administration. This action, part of a broader attack on the US offshore wind sector, jeopardizes over 60 gigawatts of planned projects and threatens 1,000 jobs. New York Governor Hochul vowed to fight the decision, which experts warn could damage the US's energy grid and investor confidence. The pause raises concerns about the US's business stability and the future of clean energy initiatives.
