The #Trump admin on Friday ordered that all construction stop on #RevolutionWind, a $4 billion #WindFarm off the coast of #RhodeIsland that is already mostly built.The 65-turbine project had obtained all necessary permits from the #Biden admin, & nearly 70 % of the turbines have been installed. The developers behind the project had said it was on track to produce enough #electricity for >350,000 homes in Rhode Island & #Connecticut by next spring.#RenewableEnergy #energy #ClimateCrisis

#Trump appointed Matthew Giacona, the acting director of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, issued a letter on Friday to #Orsted, the Danish company building the #WindFarm, ordering it to “halt all ongoing activities” due to unspecified issues.“In particular, #BOEM is seeking to address concerns related to the protection of national security [?] interests in the United States,” Giacona wrote, adding Orsted “may not resume activities” until the agency has completed a review of the project.

The #Interior Dept declined to comment on the order to stop work on #RevolutionWind.In a statement, #Orsted said that it was “evaluating all options to resolve the matter expeditiously,” including “potential #legal proceedings.” The company said it still aimed to complete the project by next year.#Trump #law #RenewableEnergy #energy #wind #climate #ClimateSolutions #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis

…The #Trump admin’s move against #RevolutionWind is the latest in a series of its escalating attacks against the #wind industry.On Thursday, the #Commerce Dept opened a #trade investigation into imported #WindTurbines & their components. The probe could result in further #tariffs on the wind industry that could increase costs for offshore projects that are already underway.#Trump #law #RenewableEnergy #energy #WindFarm #climate #ClimateSolutions #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis

2 weeks ago, the #Trump admin said it was reversing a #Biden admin decision to approve the Lava Ridge Wind Project, a giant #WindFarm planned for southern #Idaho. The admin said it had discovered “legal deficiencies” in the original approval but did not provide details.The #Interior Dept had signaled last month that it would consider revoking federal permits for #wind projects that opponents have sued over, even if those projects were already under construction.#law #RenewableEnergy #climate

In April, the #Trump admin ordered a halt to work at #EmpireWind, a $5B #WindFarm off the coast of #LongIsland that was already under construction, without publicly providing a justification. After a month of negotiations with #NY Gov #KathyHochul, the admin let Empire Wind move forward, but admin ofcls suggested that they had done so only after Hochul agreed to approve new #gas #pipelines in the state. Hochul has denied that any such deal was made.#law #RenewableEnergy #energy #wind #climate

#Equinor, the developer behind #EmpireWind, recently said that those delays & other regulatory changes affecting US offshore #wind projects had cost the company nearly $1B.At the same time as it thwarts the wind industry, the #Trump admin has taken several steps to boost #oil & #gas as well as #coal, the dirtiest & most expensive #FossilFuel when it comes to burning it for #electricity.#law #RenewableEnergy #energy #WindFarm #climate #ClimateSolutions #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis

The #Energy Dept on Thursday extended an *#emergency* order compelling a #Michigan coal-burning #PowerPlant to stay open past its retirement date. The dept has issued several orders to keep coal plants running past their planned closure dates, even in cases where the operators never sought an extension & ratepayers would shoulder the #costs of complying.#Trump #law #RenewableEnergy #energy #WindFarm #wind #climate #ClimateSolutions #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis

…#Trump has been a critic of #wind #power for years, ever since he unsuccessfully tried to stop an offshore #WindFarm from being built in view of one of his Scottish golf courses. Trump has called the large turbines ugly & expensive & has insisted that offshore wind farms are killing endangered whales in the Atlantic Ocean [because he’s crazy], although scientists have said there is no evidence to support that claim.#law #RenewableEnergy #energy #climate #ClimateSolutions #ClimateCrisis

The #Biden admin had tried to accelerate the development of offshore #wind, which is commonplace in #Europe but barely exists in the #US, & approved nearly a dozen commercial-scale #WindFarms in the Atlantic Ocean.…Only a handful of offshore wind projects in the US are now still under construction…. In the wake of #Trump’s election, some companies have said they will halt plans to develop any more offshore wind projects in the country for the foreseeable future.#law #RenewableEnergy #Climate

@Nonilex No, it totally happens. All those flying whales fly into the slow moving extremely thin blades of windmills. Happens all the time.Honestly, the man is an idiot who always picks the stupidest stuff to hate for the stupidest possible reasons. I keep thinking of the way he hated LED lights not because of *any* actual property of the LED lights, but just because most people buy neutral ones and his cheap orange makeup is more clearly visible under neutral light.You can buy 2700K LEDs

@Nonilex Trump admires global dictators, sucks up to Vladimir Putin, and fires everyone in his administration involved in intelligence and counter-intelligence related to potential Russian threats and involvement in his election bids. But his Bureau of Ocean Energy Mgt is worried that a Danish-built wind farm might create national security concerns? LOL.

@Nonilex Were I in a position to do so, I would not halt a single day of ongoing construction, and merely prevaricate that the work had been stopped. But I am stubborn, and not overly afraid of losing money I don't have.

@Nonilex Okay, lets abolish the kids free breakfast, give that money to Bozo's wedding, and then let's stop this mindless crap of trying to save the Ecosystem of the Planet. I'm gonna die of a stroke on the Ninth hole of my Scottish Golf Course, so before that inevitably happens, lets dig up Bob Marley. #Exodus

@Nonilex Stopping waste, fraud, and abuse? Seems to me this administration's main goal is to waste, abuse, and commit as much fraud as possible.

@Nonilex No one in Michigan wants this power plant to stay online. The operators don't even want it because it loses money every day it's running. Moreover we have clean energy targets written into state law, and obviously can't meet them if we're forced to to keep nursing along the dirtiest electricity production there is.

@Nonilex "Critic of" implies critical thoughts. That's a lot of credit for a bankrupt amateur golfer.
