Trump Plans to Halt Wind Energy Projects

President-elect Donald Trump has announced plans to halt the construction of new wind energy projects during his administration, citing economic impracticality and environmental concerns. Trump claims wind energy requires excessive subsidies and disrupts marine life, referencing increased whale strandings in Massachusetts. Critics argue his stance undermines renewable energy progress, with industry leaders and environmentalists expressing concern over potential policy rollbacks. Trump’s opposition aligns with his broader support for fossil fuels, as he intends to appoint fracking CEO Chris Wright as Energy Secretary. Despite these intentions, experts believe existing momentum in the renewable sector may persist due to established projects and international commitments. Trump’s remarks have sparked debate over the future of U.S. energy policy and environmental conservation.
