New Policy Shifts For Offshore Wind Project
Season 2025
Episode 293
President Trump’s ban on new offshore wind leases won’t stop California’s floating wind farms but could slow the state’s renewable energy progress. California plans to generate 25 gigawatts of offshore wind by 2045, powering 25 million homes. While the ban blocks new leases and calls for a review, the state remains committed with strong funding and infrastructure plans.
