The US foreign wind industry has been running deep water for a long time. This week, the Bureau of Ocean Management held his head and ended the work.
On Wednesday, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) announced that it was recovering all the designated Wind Energy Areas (VEAS) at the US External Continental Shelf (OCS). Following the action, a pair of the Trump administration, the secretary’s order (so) 3437 (titled) has been implemented. Eliminate preferential behavior for unreliable, foreign -controlled energy sources in department decision -making), And on January 20, 2025, and a presidential memory was issued, Offshore Wind Lease Review Ways to Give and Permit Federal Government Lease and Permission for All Areas on OCS and Wind Plans.
The Wies was actually set up to identify foreign locations, which are considered the most suitable for air energy development. By recovering them, Bowm is ending the federal process of nominating large areas of OCS for air development, and earlier, the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf Mine, New York byte, California, Oregon, and the Central Ocean Gulf of Maxima is more designed to be a maternity.
Earlier this week, the US Secretary of Interior, Doug Bergam, announced four policy measures, “Eliminating special treatment for non -credible energy sources, such as air.” Included in them:
- Shutting down preferential treatment for air projects: Therefore, 3437 demanded to identify prejudiced policies in favor of air and solar energy and stop support for energy supply chains “under foreign rivals.” According to January 20, 2025, the Wind Energy Presidential Memorandum, with a report of the recommended reforms presented under Section 5 of the Executive Order 14315, will review its policies to identify and remove them, identify and remove them.
- Congress mandate restoration to use our public lands and waters equally: Interior beach will consider withdrawing areas that have high potential for air energy development to ensure compliance with legal requirements for multiple use and permanent production of public lands. This means to balance energy development with other use, such as entertainment and grazing, and the protection of BLM -powered lands, as considered by Congress. By eliminating the VEAS, the department says it “is protecting our coastal environment and local economies from unmanaged development, while ensuring that our power grid will not be reduced by incredible, subsidized energy sources.”
- Increase stakeholder engagement for foreign air development: Interior will strengthen its guidance to ensure more meaningful consultation with foreign wind development, especially tribes, fishing industry and coastal cities. The department says that the construction of foreign wind turbines and these stakeholders have had neutral impact on these stakeholders, from interruptions to trade fishing, from tourism away from tourism, and removing existing gaps aims to “maximize cooperation, transparency and territorial support,” and regional priority.
- Review the results of developing wind turbines on migrant birds: Entry will carefully review the rates of Avenue mortality associated with the development of wind energy projects located on migratory flight routes and determine if such effects are eligible to take the bird’s “event” under the refugee Bird Trait Act and related laws. The department will also review applicable rules and regulations to determine the applicable approach to the applicable rules and regulations violations and related penalties.
“These policy changes represent a shared approach to energy that make Americans’ interests a priority,” said Secretary Bergam. “Equaling the playground in allowing the playground supports energy development, which is built to a reliable, cheap and last. We are also ensuring that tribes and local communities have a real seat on the table. The move is about responsible energy growth that works for every American.”
Written on the wall
In late July, the New York State plugged a Harbanese, a Harbinger of the Boim decision, planning for large -scale transmission projects needed to bring air energy to the beach. The New York State Public Service Commission (NYPS) said the cancellation of transmission projects would protect those who pay the rate of payment of any potential bridge, which would announce its public policy transmission (PPTN) process in a “unprecedented” strategic expiry. NYPs started the process in 2023, which determined the need for an integrated transmission project to provide between 4.77 and 8 GW (GW) of foreign wind energy in New York City.
Federal decisions to prevent the permission and construction of foreign air generation platforms make the purpose of New York’s foreign wind impossible in the near term and damage the main purpose of its transmission request.
Earlier this year, US President Donald Trump launched a clean move on foreign wind growth, which has given turbines a “garbage in a field”, which gives the country “garbage”, and his second term “no new winds” during his job. The recently approved budget reconciliation bill by Trump, shortening the window for developers to take advantage of tax credit for wind projects, eliminates both coast and beach growth. As one can be expected, the growing list of good -natured developers has either stopped work or fully pulled out of the US market.
In June, a federal judge in Massachusetts announced the Trump administration’s intention to refuse a motion to dismiss the case to stop the wind energy plans, which supported the alliance of the State Attorney General. Under the leadership of New York’s Attorney General Letia James, the Attorney General of 17 states and is prosecuted for challenging Trump’s day -to -day executive order in Washington, DC, Federal Court and leasing and allowing for wind energy projects.
Trump’s fight against clean energy
The Trump administration has tried everything to stop the development of foreign winds, including an attempt to balance the work on the fully permitted empire. President Trump flies in support of the lobby’s choice, compared to the “energy dominance” and “the largest” lips service, and his particular anemia against foreign wind growth has killed tens of thousands of jobs, and he has never earned billions of dollars. (Which, if you are paying attention, we have already lost because China is not disconnecting power projects).
In the meantime, the recently respected respected US Department of Energy has transformed itself into a defective method that we have not mined in the eight decades with coal shells and spreads a total lie about clean energy.
Backup is required from air and solar packs of gas plants or batteries, which costs more than three times the base load power. Adding more variable resources to the grid can increase prices and increase electricity shortages.
The common understanding of America’s energy sector is …

Read the answers to some informed conversation. Dark times… and soon, maybe perfectly literal. This week, I heard a record conversation at the Narco Summer Policy Summit that was warned about brownout in the northeast next summer, considering how quickly the data centers and the air conditioners were putting a new burden in the grid. Soaking gigwat of generation capacity Out This compound does not help prevent reality from becoming a reality.
