Is Trump winning or losing his war on offshore wind power?

Construction has resumed on four offshore wind mega-projects after federal judges rejected a stop-work order issued by Donald Trump's administration. The projects, including Vineyard Wind and Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind, were halted in December due to "reasons of national security." However, judges across different jurisdictions ruled against the administration, citing that the claims were unfounded. The four projects will contribute nearly five gigawatts of energy to the east coast, enough to power 3.5 million homes. A fifth project, Sunrise Wind, is set to have a court hearing on Monday, with industry experts predicting a positive outcome. The decision marks a victory for clean energy amid a wider war being waged by the Trump administration against offshore wind power.
