The Trump administration is halting wind projects that had been approved, financed and under way — while providing little to no justification. The actions are putting thousands of jobs and billions of dollars of investments at risk.. (Randi Baird/The New York Times)
WHEN the Trump administration ordered construction to stop at Revolution Wind, a giant offshore wind farm near Rhode Island that was nearly finished, it vaguely cited “national security concerns” but offered no further explanation.
It was the third time since April that the administration had revoked permits or halted wind projects already approved, following actions against sites in New York and Idaho.
