Trump Reinstates Offshore Wind Project Near New York
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports from New York City on the reinstatement of a major offshore wind farm off the New York coast. Previously halted by the Trump administration, the project—developed by Equinor—is now back on track after negotiations involving labor groups, business leaders, and government officials. McIntyre explains that the decision to lift the stop-work order was influenced by arguments highlighting the project’s potential to generate jobs and foreign investment. The wind industry, previously stifled under Trump-era policies, may now regain momentum with this high-profile reversal.
