A wind project is stalled in New York. Experts worry about impacts across the U.S.

U.S. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum halted the Empire Wind 1 project near Long Island, New York. Equinor, the Norwegian energy company behind it, suspended construction following this order. The decision came after President Trump's moratorium on offshore wind projects and raises concerns about its impact on the clean-energy industry and jobs. Empire Wind 1 aimed to power 500,000 homes in New York as part of the state's broader goal for offshore wind energy by 2035. The suspension has sparked alarm about potential federal interference with other approved offshore wind projects across the U.S.
