SHOCKING CRACKDOWN! Trump Guts $679 MILLION in Offshore Wind Funding!
In a jaw-dropping move that could send shockwaves through the clean energy sector, the Trump administration has yanked an eye-watering $679 million in federal cash for a dozen offshore wind projects! This brutal attack on the beleaguered U.S. offshore wind industry raises alarm bells across the nation!
California to Maryland: Major Projects Stomped Out!
Funding for ambitious projects in a staggering 11 states has disappeared into thin air! Among the casualties? A colossal $435 million earmarked for a floating wind farm in Northern California and a critical $47 million boost for an offshore endeavor in Maryland. This is NOT a drill!
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy went on the offensive, declaring these “wasteful” wind projects are robbing resources that could breathe new life into America’s maritime industry. “Thanks to President Trump, we are prioritizing REAL infrastructure improvements over FANTASY wind projects that cost much and offer little!” he exclaimed.
Renewable Energy Under Siege!
This isn’t just a one-off incident—it’s a full-blown crusade! The Trump administration is on a rampage against renewable energy, slashing funding left and right in a merciless bid to protect fossil fuels. Scientists are warning that this reckless assault on clean energy is jeopardizing our fight against climate change!
Rep. Jared Huffman of California didn’t hold back, branding Duffy’s shocking decision as “outrageous” and “deeply disappointing.” He accused Trump and his cabinet of harboring an unshakeable “hatred” for clean energy, threatening jobs and the economy in pursuit of outdated fossil fuels.
NEW JERSEY Project Derailed!
In a chilling twist, Trump’s Energy Department also pulled out of a critical $716 million loan guarantee essential for a threatened offshore wind project in New Jersey. Just last week, officials halted construction of the nearly complete $4 billion Revolution Wind project off Rhode Island and Connecticut, citing mysterious national security concerns that remain shrouded in secrecy!
A Furor Erupts as States Fight Back!
Democratic governors and lawmakers are waging war against this reckless policy, demanding Trump reverse course NOW! Wind power? Trump calls it ugly and too pricey—so much so that he declared renewable energy “THE SCAM OF THE CENTURY!” What’s going on here?
Energy Prices Skyrocket While Jobs Hang in the Balance!
With electricity prices climbing at skyrocketing rates, Trump’s outbursts have only intensified. He falsely blamed renewable energy for rising costs, insisting, “We’re not allowing any windmills to go up unless there’s a legal situation!” But experts are saying the real culprits are the growing demand fueled by AI and data-hungry tech!
As the situation escalates, developers like Danish energy company Orsted face devastating financial impacts as they reconsider the future of projects like Revolution Wind—once poised to power over 350,000 homes!
JOBS and Climate in the Crosshairs!
Critics are sounding the alarm that this campaign against renewable energy is a direct assault on jobs and livelihoods! Rhode Island Gov. Dan McKee slammed the move as “an attack on our energy” and “our families.” Labor leaders are rallying to fight back, promising to challenge Trump at every turn!
Will America’s efforts to embrace clean energy go up in smoke, or can the public resist this relentless onslaught? Stay tuned as the battle for our future unfolds!
