Description:

The Trump administration’s decision to pause five offshore wind power farms that were already under construction may have indirectly stalled bipartisan permitting negotiations on the Hill. It’s a development that comes as the midterm elections are less than a year away, energy prices are skyrocketing, and congressional permitting reform has support from almost everyone in the U.S. energy industry. POLITICO’s Josh Siegel and Kelsey Tamborrino discuss how Trump’s attack on offshore wind could deal a crippling blow to congressional permitting reform.
