Trump campaigned last year on bolstering the nation's production of oil and natural gas and ending "green energy" policies favored by Democrats, especially wind power. On Inauguration Day, he also signed an executive order declaring a national energy emergency, blaming the "green energy" policies of the Biden administration for driving the U.S. to a point where it has "a precariously inadequate and intermittent energy supply, and an increasingly unreliable grid."
Interior Department Secretary Doug Burgum wrote last month in a post on X that he halted an offshore wind project approved by the Biden administration in late 2023 to be built off the coast of Long Island.
