"Burgum Halts Work On NY Offshore Wind Project"

"Interior Secretary Doug Burgum halted construction of a major offshore wind farm off New York on Wednesday, in a marked escalation of President Donald Trump’s fight against offshore wind.

Burgum said in a post on X that he had directed the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, a division of the Interior Department, to stop work on Empire Wind. He wrote that the Biden administration had permitted the 810-megawatt project “without sufficient analysis.”

“On day one, @POTUS called for comprehensive reviews of federal wind projects and wind leasing, and at Interior, we are doing our part to make sure these instructions are followed,” he wrote."
