US Administration halted largest Offshore Wind project in the U.S.

"Radar interference risk" is the cited reasoning. It took them the entire year to use anything other than a conspiracy theory to justify shutting these down.
cr125rider•1mo ago
It’s unfortunate many people are able to see through this to the blatant corruption. Energy independence and national security is renewable energy. All sorts of diverse energy sources are good. But we don’t like that.
UncleMeat•1mo ago
I don't even know if this is corruption. The Trump admin has definitely been engaged in a lot of graft, but this appears to just be "fuck you libs" for the sake of it. They know that liberals like renewable energy and they'd rather hurt liberals even if it hurts themselves too.
xnx•1mo ago
They could've cited "owned the libs" and it wouldn't have made a difference. Republican congress tacitly supports all of this.
jandrewrogers•1mo ago
I hadn't considered it but even if it is a pretense at least the reason actually makes sense? Ship-borne drones have become a significant issue and you could pretty easily screen them with offshore wind farms.
amanaplanacanal•1mo ago
Likely just a temporary pause. This administration won't be around that much longer.
pjc50•1mo ago
They're stuck there for four year terms, and in the case of SCOTUS life, are they not?
amanaplanacanal•1mo ago
Nobody can predict the future, but there are several possibilities, including impeachment and death in office. The man really doesn't look very good, I don't expect him to last out his term.

Not only that, but the president can only do what Congress allows him to do. Look for a blue wave next year.

squarefoot•1mo ago
I feel bad for ruining someone's dreams, but you really have no idea how wrong you are.
amanaplanacanal•1mo ago
Everybody can see that climate change is real. Relying on fossil fuels is just the last gasp of a dying industry.
nullocator•1mo ago
I had someone say this to me almost verbatim, 30 years ago. I'm not sure how long should we expect this last gasp to last?
mdhb•1mo ago
They aren’t leaving until someone forces them to do so. They aren’t going to accept any election results that they don’t like they have already proven that.
thinkcontext•1mo ago
Even if a Dem is elected in '28, who is going to make a multi-year investment with the chance that JD Vance/Trump Jr/MTG could be elected in '32?
amanaplanacanal•1mo ago
Do you think they will necessarily have the same hardon against wind that Donald Sr has?
thinkcontext•1mo ago
I have seen no indication that any of those 3 wouldn't. And in general the GOP is pretty virulently against wind power, take the false stories about them causing whale strandings or the Texas winter power outage. Its true no one has had quite the sustained, obsessive, demented hatred that Trump has ("windmills cause cancer"). But would you be willing to bet $Bs on them being any better?
cyberax•1mo ago
It doesn't matter. You won't invest billions into new plants if they can be cancelled on a whim.

And mind you, the previous cancellation was contested through the courts, and it was found to be illegal. So now the administration did essentially the same, but without citing any reasons (they are "classified").

If this stands, then it is really a death blow to the US industry. It undermines the main pillar of capitalism: protection of property rights.

Facemelters•1mo ago
oh look, lying about national security concerns again. It's funny that the only thing this administration does is destroy things, lie, and make our lives measurably worse.
jimt1234•1mo ago
It's about time a US administration is brave enough to tackle real national security concerns: windmill cancer, completing the White House ballroom, and Antifa! /s
nneonneo•1mo ago
It sounds like “national security” is the legal justification they’re using to do an end-run around Congress, just like the justifications they’ve used to implement tariffs and which underpin a bunch of their EOs.
lateforwork•1mo ago
In October Trump canceled the largest solar project in the United States. Known as Esmeralda 7, the project planned in the Nevada desert would have produced enough energy to power nearly two million homes. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/10/10/trump-interior-depa...
jandrewrogers•1mo ago
It is misleading to characterize forcing them to undergo the standard environmental review process as "canceling". This solar project was given a special waiver to skip expensive environmental reviews that everyone else is required to go through because of close political ties to the Biden administration. If these environmental reviews are too onerous then maybe we should eliminate them.

Clearly, no one believes these environmental reviews serve a real purpose. Both Democrats and Republicans will allow you to skip them for a sufficiently large bribe. Which suggests the true purpose of such reviews.

I think Swedish right-wingers pioneered this particular form of anti-renewable propaganda last year.
seanmcdirmid•1mo ago
Trump was anti offshore wind farms since before his first term. He claimed they caused brain cancer or something foolish like that.

Did you make this up? HN user base wasn’t going to change that fast in a year. And given that HN was left-leaning before Trump, I’d say it to be neutral at most now.
belter•1mo ago
