  • Trump’s wind freeze just blew up permitting reform talks

    Trump’s wind freeze just blew up permitting reform talks
    2025/12/24
    The Trump administration’s decision to pause five offshore wind power farms that were already under construction may have indirectly stalled bipartisan permitting negotiations on the Hill. It’s a development that comes as the midterm elections are less than a year away, energy prices are skyrocketing, and congressional permitting reform has support from almost everyone in the U.S. energy industry. POLITICO’s Josh Siegel and Kelsey Tamborrino discuss how Trump’s attack on offshore wind could deal a crippling blow to congressional permitting reform.

  • How Trump just froze the U.S. offshore wind industry

    How Trump just froze the U.S. offshore wind industry
    2025/12/23
    The Trump administration announced Monday that it’s immediately pausing all offshore wind leases under construction, citing “national security risks.” The move represents the administration’s most aggressive action yet against the renewable energy sector, and it comes as the White House faces mounting criticism over soaring energy costs. POLITICO’s Kelsey Tamborrino explores what the pause actually does, how the wind industry is reacting, and where the political and economic fight goes next.

    The House finally passed a permitting bill. What’s next?
    2025/12/19
    The House passed a bipartisan permitting reform bill this week aimed at speeding up environmental reviews for energy projects but only after a bruising intra-party fight among Republicans. That clash highlights just how politically fraught permitting reform has become and raises doubts about whether any deal can advance in the Senate. POLITICO’s Josh Siegel breaks down what’s in the House bill and what comes next in permitting reform negotiations. Plus, a coalition of tribal, environmental, local and consumer groups filed a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's rules making it harder for wind and solar projects to earn federal tax credits.
