PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP’S ban on new offshore wind leases won’t halt giant wind farms already planned off California’s coast, but industry officials say the policy shift is a blow to a renewable energy industry still working to gain a foothold.

The order reflects Trump's opposition to wind energy, stating that the consequences of onshore and offshore wind projects 'may lead to grave harm...'

Maine, meanwhile, is mired in a long-running debate over where to develop an offshore wind port — Mack Point, an existing industrial port in Searsport, or adjacent Sears Island, an undeveloped state-owned island linked by a causeway.

In a sweeping order, President Trump halted federal approvals for new wind farms, in a move that could affect projects on land and in the ocean.

President Donald Trump suspended new federal offshore wind leasing pending an environmental and economic review, saying wind mills are ugly, expensive and harm wildlife.

Australia's corporate regulator said on Friday it was assessing all options for a regulatory response, after bourse operator ASX's clearing and settlement software CHESS broke down last month.

Trump has claimed to be an expert on “windmills.” (It’s worth noting that windmill is an outdated term that originally referred to centuries-old tech that used wind power to turn stones to grind up grain; the modern tech designed for producing electricity is a wind turbine.)

Trump signed dozens of executive orders, essentially laying out policy intentions for this second term in office. Many of the orders dealt with the environment.

The first Trump administration lost more than three-quarters of the court cases against its regulatory actions, according to New York University’s Institute for Policy Integrity. Many of those cases were brought by state attorneys general, including New York’s.
