The Trump administration has spent nearly $4 billion to buy back offshore wind leases from energy companies, effectively discouraging clean energy development in favor of fossil fuels. One such settlement with RWE U.S. Offshore amounts to $1.2 billion, in exchange for the company relinquishing projects off New York, California, and Louisiana. Critics argue this strategy is a costly scheme to benefit fossil fuel donors, while the administration claims it promotes common-sense energy solutions. AI
