Trump temporarily halts leasing and permitting for wind energy projects

Donald Trump has announced a temporary freeze on federal permitting and loans for all offshore and onshore wind projects.
Wind energy accounts for about 10 percent of U.S. Electricity production.
Jason Grumet of the American Clean Power Association stated that Trump's actions "increase bureaucratic barriers, undermining domestic energy development and harming American businesses and workers."
Experts warn that the offshore wind industry could be severely affected due to Trump's measures, with concerns about potential legal challenges and political backlash.
