In a controversial move, the Trump administration has halted nine offshore wind projects that were expected to provide electricity to nearly 5 million households and create around 9,000 jobs. This decision marks a departure from the Republican Party's previous support for an 'all of the above' energy strategy. Trump has expressed strong opposition to wind energy, labeling it as 'ugly' and 'disgusting,' while claiming without evidence that the green energy agenda is leading countries to destruction. The administration's actions include blocking new solar and wind projects on federal land and waters, and investigating already permitted projects. Critics argue that this crackdown will lead to increased energy costs and threaten the U.S.'s energy security, especially as demand for energy rises due to AI datacenters. The shift has bewildered some conservatives who still support clean energy initiatives.
