On his first day in office, Donald Trump signed an executive order that impeded offshore wind energy projects, citing various concerns affecting safety and security. This decision led to New Jersey's cancellation of the Atlantic Shores project, which was vital for the state's clean energy goals. While acknowledging the setback, Governor Phil Murphy emphasized the potential of the industry. Experts remain optimistic, highlighting the overall growth of the wind energy sector, which has become the largest renewable electricity source in the US, despite recent challenges.
On Jan. 20, Donald Trump's first day in office, the president wasted no time delivering a death knell to the offshore wind industry.
Despite the setbacks, offshore wind experts continue to be hopeful. While the Atlantic Shores cancellation is 'a disappointing outcome,' it is important to remember that one offshore wind project is not the whole industry.
