The Trump administration has ordered the halt of a $5 billion offshore wind project off the coast of New York, mid-construction. This decision has raised concerns about the future of renewable energy projects in the United States. The Empire Wind Project, led by Equinor, was expected to provide significant clean energy to the region. The suspension comes as the company considers its options, including a potential appeal. This move by the administration has sparked debates over the balance between environmental initiatives and regulatory scrutiny.
