One of the biggest U.S. wind farms was nearly complete. Then Trump shut it down.

from POLITICO Energy · host POLITICO

The Trump administration has halted construction on Revolution Wind, one of the largest U.S. offshore wind projects, even though it was nearly complete and set to power New England. That decision has triggered a costly legal battle, backlash from state political and business leaders, and raised fresh questions about the future of offshore wind in the United States. Ben Storrow from POLITICO’s E&E News breaks down why the administration stepped in and what comes next. Plus, a coalition of green groups on Monday sued EPA over its decision to forego new water pollution limits for meat and poultry processing facilities.  Ben Storrow is a reporter for POLITICO’s E&E News.  Josh Siegel is the host of POLITICO Energy and a congressional energy reporter for POLITICO.   Nirmal Mulaikal is the co-host and producer of POLITICO Energy.   Alex Keeney is a senior audio producer at POLITICO.   Ben Lefebvre is the deputy energy editor at POLITICO.  Matt Daily is the energy editor for POLITICO.    For more news on energy and the environment, subscribe to Power Switch, our free evening newsletter: https://www.politico.com/power-switch    And for even deeper coverage and analysis, read our Morning Energy newsletter by subscribing to POLITICO Pro: https://subscriber.politicopro.com/newsletter-archive/morning-energy    Our theme music is by Pran Bandi.
