Wind Energy Takes Another Blow
August 26, 2025
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, wind power is the nation’s largest source of renewable energy. It provided 10% of the country’s electricity in 2023.
Last Friday, the Department of the Interior ordered renewable energy company Ørsted to stop construction on Revolution Wind, its project off the coast of Rhode Island, citing “concerns related to the protection of national security interests.” All offshore foundations and 45 out of 65 turbines are already installed, and the project, which is 80% complete, was on track to produce electricity next spring.
The offshore wind farm got the green light to build in November 2023 from the Biden administration following nine years of review, and is the latest casualty from the Trump administration’s war on renewables.
According to this article from Connecticut Public Radio, the project is designed to generate more than 700 megawatts of power — 305 megawatts to Connecticut and 400 to Rhode Island — and would provide power to the equivalent of about 350,000 homes. It also created 1200 jobs.
