President Donald Trump’s executive order freezing offshore wind project approvals has ignited widespread criticism from readers, who view it as a setback for the US’ climate goals and renewable energy development. The move, made before he took office, had already halted an industry that was gaining momentum. Critics attribute Trump’s decision to personal grievances, particularly his opposition to certain projects. This freeze could undermine efforts to reduce carbon emissions and meet national climate targets.
