Description:

The Trump administration announced Monday that it’s immediately pausing all offshore wind leases under construction, citing “national security risks.” The move represents the administration’s most aggressive action yet against the renewable energy sector, and it comes as the White House faces mounting criticism over soaring energy costs. POLITICO’s Kelsey Tamborrino explores what the pause actually does, how the wind industry is reacting, and where the political and economic fight goes next.
