The article discusses the Trump administration's decision to halt the construction of the Revolution Wind farm, which was already 80% complete. The administration cited national security concerns and potential interference with other uses for the area as reasons for the move. This decision comes as the demand for electricity is rising due to the growth of data centers, domestic manufacturing, and electric vehicles, putting pressure on power grids across the US. However, the article suggests that President Trump's war against wind farms is aimed at eliminating competition to the fossil fuel industry that backed his campaign. A similar pause was placed on the construction of the Empire Wind farm off the coast of New York earlier this year, costing its developers $50 million. The Revolution Wind project was expected to provide enough electricity for more than 350,000 homes in Rhode Island and Connecticut, and had already received the necessary federal and state permits to operate. The article concludes that the project's developer, Ørsted, is evaluating its legal options.
