Trump has a long history of attacking wind turbines, arguing that they kill birds and cost more than they generate in revenue.

Construction on Empire Wind, a massive offshore wind farm south of Long Island, is set to resume after the Trump administration lifted a stop-work order.

Statements from New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum imply that the restart approval was related to conversations about the state’s natural gas pipeline capacity.

The adminstration's abrupt decision allowing Empire Wind 1 to proceed has officials wondering if New York Gov. Kathy Hochul cut a deal with the president.

Federal orders issued under the Trump administration halted construction of New York’s Empire Wind Project, triggering legal challenges and raising concerns about the impacts on New York’s energy supply going forward.
