Trump Stopped New Wind Energy Construction

Trump halted new leasing and permitting for offshore wind energy projects, raising energy prices for Americans.

Our Analysis

Trump halted new leasing and permitting for offshore wind energy projects, which will not only raise energy prices for Americans in the long-term, as we would produce less energy, but will also make the energy we use dirtier.

This move forces America to use more fossil fuels, even when energy companies are eager to profitably construct new wind energy sources for us to use. This helps nobody and only makes our air and environment dirtier for no gain whatsoever.

Both sides aren't the same:

What the "other side" did

President Biden increased American energy production and independence and made our environment cleaner by approving over 19 gigawatts (GW) of clean energy from offshore wind energy projects which is a stunning amount of energy: enough to power more than 6 million homes.
