States Sue Trump Over Offshore Wind Deal

New York and other states are suing the Trump administration over a $1 billion deal that paid French energy giant TotalEnergies to abandon U.S. offshore wind leases — with the money redirected to fossil fuel projects. The states argue the deal undermines clean energy goals, costs thousands of jobs, and bypassed proper procedures. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum defended it as a refund, blaming prior subsidies. Critics call it a “sham” designed to sabotage renewable energy, while Congress investigates and courts block similar efforts — revealing a nationwide battle over America’s energy future.
