## Resource

Federal officials are quietly sabotaging offshore wind progress by offering over $2 billion to companies to abandon their projects—effectively buying out leases across the board. This move is crippling East Coast states’ clean energy ambitions, forcing them to rethink infrastructure investments and delay timelines for powering millions of homes. Seven states have already sued, calling the actions politically motivated and legally dubious. While developers may pause, states aren’t quitting—they’re pivoting to battery storage and nuclear power to bridge the gap, betting offshore wind will return stronger when conditions improve.
