Trump administration attempts to block offshore wind… again

Washington D.C– In response to reports that French utility Engie is in discussions with the Trump administration over a potential refund for its offshore wind project leases in the United States, the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) released the following statement from Local Clean Energy Deployment Director Kathleen Meil:

“This would be yet another corrupt deal designed to advance the Trump administration’s agenda to ban clean energy. Energy prices are skyrocketing, working families are struggling, and we need more affordable clean energy to bring down costs. Yet this administration is willing to commit billions of taxpayer dollars NOT to build more.

Congress should stop these deals and conduct real oversight for the administration’s energy policies. Everyday people are paying the price.”
