Offshore wind turbines roughly three times the height of the Statue of Liberty were spinning off the coast of Rhode Island Thursday, sending clean electricity to the region. Wind farms are taking shape and operating along the East Coast, even as President Donald Trump seeks to end the U.S. offshore wind industry.

The Trump administration announced an immediate pause on the leases for five large-scale offshore wind farms off the East Coast, citing concerns about national security. The Interior Department provided few details, but said the Pentagon believed the turbines could obscure and confuse radar signals. This is just the latest move by the White House taking aim at wind power. At least one of the projects halted today was already partially operating. William Brangham spoke with science correspondent Miles O'Brien to learn more.

“OFFSHORE WIND IS DESTROYING OUR FISHERIES” - TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SOUNDS THE ALARM During President Donald J. Trump's seafood industry proclamation signing, LindellTV's Cara Castronuova asked whether the administration plans to continue fighting a court ruling allowing the construction of offshore wind turbines off the Atlantic coast near New York. She noted that fishermen have overwhelmingly supported Trump's efforts to stop the projects, arguing they threaten commercial fishing and national security. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum didn't mince words. “Absolutely, positively, the construction of these wind towers have an effect on fisheries.” Burgum pointed to concerns over declining fisheries, impacts on whales and marine mammals, and warnings from the Pentagon that offshore wind installations create national security vulnerabilities. “It's a huge national security threat, bad for marine mammals, bad for fish.” He also warned that massive offshore wind farms could interfere with radar systems and create vulnerabilities along America's most densely populated coastline. President Trump agreed, adding: “They do affect fishing and it's very bad.”

Wes Moore & US Wind, the only offshore wind company with an active project off Ocean City’s coast, promised a Baltimore manufacturing site that will support over 550 high-paying jobs. Despite the 2025 target, construction hasn't begun, and the site remains relatively dormant.

🚨 JUST IN. Doug Burgum says the Supreme Court of the United States may soon SHUT DOWN offshore wind farms because they interfere with critical radar systems. “That could be a huge threat, particularly off the northeast coast.” National security comes FIRST. You don’t compromise radar and defense systems for a green grift. Wind is a scam. If it endangers security, STRIKE IT DOWN. 🔥

Exciting privilege to inaugurate one of our offshore wind projects - Neart na Gaoithe - off the coast of Fife and serviced from Eyemouth. It is an amazing feat of engineering and an example of Scotland’s bright energy future.

The UK bet its energy future on offshore wind. Massive projects like Hornsey and Dogger Bank were sold as the backbone of net zero. Billions were spent in subsidies, but the industry has just hit a wall. In the latest government auction, there wasn't a single developer bid. Turbine and maintenance costs went up, but subsidies didn't. Developers ran the numbers. The projects were unprofitable. Major offshore plans were cancelled or delayed, with companies like Orsted writing off billions in losses. Britain's cheap wind promise collapsed the moment it met real-world economics. Offshore wind is an expensive disaster.

Today, the world's largest offshore converter station set off from Jiangsu province for Yangjiang, Guangdong province. Once installed offshore, it will become the energy hub for the Three Gorges Yangjiang Qingzhou 5 and 7 offshore wind farms. The fifteen-story-high giant does not generate power itself. It collects electricity from offshore wind turbines, converts it, and sends it ashore through about 90 km of submarine cables — like a "super heart" at sea.
