Trump always hated #offshorewind. Now he's killing it
Trump halted 5 approved offshore wind projects despite rising #electricity demand
“This so-called ‘pause’ on offshore wind makes no sense and is an escalation of the Administration’s ongoing, baseless attacks on clean energy” said Pasha Feinberg of #NRDC. “In its ongoing effort to prop up waning fossil fuels interests the Administration is taking wilder and wilder swings at the clean energy projects this economy needs”

A Trump ‘Blockade’ Is Stalling Hundreds of #Wind and #Solar Projects Nationwide
Federal agencies are delaying approvals for #renewableenergy projects on both federal land and private property at a time when #electricity demand is going up.
While Mr. Trump’s attacks on #offshorewind have been highly visible, administration has also been hobbling solar and wind energy projects on land by halting or delaying federal approvals that were once routine.

Court orders restart of #US #offshorewind construction
Not content to block future developments, admin went after 5 offshore wind projects under construction. After temporarily blocking 2 for reasons never fully elaborated, DOI settled on single justification for blocking turbine installation: classified #nationalsecurity risk
Courts are largely offering projects relief because ruling was issued without warning or communication from gov and would inflict harm on companies

North Sea Nations Sign Historic 100 GW Offshore Wind Pact

seenthis.net/messages/1155711

Known as the #Hamburg Declaration, the pact marks the first time North Sea nations have formally agreed to develop #offshoreWind through coordinated cross-border projects, including so-called “offshore wind hybrid assets” that link wind farms directly to multiple countries via shared interconnectors. The agreement brings together ministers from Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and Norway in a collective effort to transform the North Sea into what organizers describe as the world’s largest “clean #energy reservoir.”

Die #Nordsee-Anrainerstaaten haben einen Investitionspakt mit der #Windindustrie und #Netzbetreibern geschlossen, um bis 2030 grenzüberschreitend bis zu 100 GW Offshore-Windleistung zu vernetzen.

Ziel ist eine sichere, saubere #Stromversorgung mit geringeren #Stromgestehungskosten und mehr Unabhängigkeit von Energieimporten. Zudem sollen neue #Produktionskapazitäten und 91.000 Arbeitsplätze entstehen.
