$14B+ In Projects, 10K Jobs Scrapped As Clean Energy Faces Trump, GOP Headwinds: Study
More than $14 billion in projects and 10,000 jobs have been canceled or delayed in 2025 as President Donald Trump's massive spending bill threatens the future of clean energy development in the US.

The analysis released on Thursday, May 29, comes as the Senate awaits a vote on the so-called "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," a tax-and-spending plan that would eliminate key clean energy incentives.

Trump Reverses $5B NY Wind Halt After $50M Weekly Loss, Whale Claims Debunked
The Trump administration has reversed its highly controversial stop-work order on the Empire Wind 1 project, allowing construction of New York’s largest offshore wind farm to resume, officials announced Monday, May 19. The $5 billion project, spearheaded by Norwegian energy giant Equinor, had already completed more than 30 percent of construction — including seabed foundations and a Brooklyn terminal — when Interior Secretary Doug Burgum halted work on April 16, citing "flawed science."
