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

President Donald Trump's administration has reversed its halt on a giant offshore wind project in New York led by Norwegian company Equinor, US officials confirmed Tuesday. A Department of Interior spokesperson confirmed on Tuesday that the wind project halt had been lifted.

Trump has vowed to expand domestic energy production as part of his energy dominance agenda, but wind is excluded from that effort. He issued an executive order on his first day in office pausing new leasing and permitting of wind projects, which he says are ugly, expensive and harmful to wildlife.
