Wind Farm Fight: Big Energy Company Takes on Trump Administration

A Danish energy company is in a legal battle with the Trump administration over a wind farm project. The company, Orsted, is trying to stop the government from halting work on the Revolution Wind project off the coast of Rhode Island and Connecticut. The project is almost finished and could power hundreds of thousands of homes. The government suddenly ordered Orsted to stop construction. Orsted says this order is unfair and asked a court to overturn it. The company's shares dropped to a record low after the order. The government claims the wind farm could interfere with other activities in the area. But Orsted argues that the real reason is Trump's long-time dislike for wind power. The company points to Trump's past statements against wind energy. Revolution Wind has gone through years of reviews and studies. The company says these reviews proved the project is safe and good for the environment. Trump has been against wind power since he became president. He has blocked new projects and recently cut funding for wind industry projects.
