The Empire Wind 1 offshore wind energy project, based at the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal and managed by Equinor, faces significant setbacks as U.S. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum has directed the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management to stop construction. This halt comes after the Trump Administration's claims of rushed approvals, jeopardizing energy supply for 500,000 New York homes. The site, which has already provided jobs for over 1,000 union workers, represents a vital part of New York's transition toward renewable energy. Governor Kathy Hochul pledges to combat these federal actions to protect jobs and affordable energy.
