NEWS: As the DOE moves to loosen energy oversight, offshore wind could face a steep new hurdle.

  • Speed over regulation? Following President Trump’s executive order, the DOE plans to slap an expiration date on 20+ energy rules, spanning everything from nuclear storage to greenhouse gas reporting...without public comment. Critics claim it comes with risks to public safety and the environment.

  • The exception: Meanwhile, a new House spending plan would encumber offshore wind by adding fees to projects—these could land much higher than those for oil and gas. That is, if offshore wind projects even make it through President Trump’s buy-outs.
