Trump's Wind Gamble Backfires as Power Prices Soar

A U.S. government decision to halt major offshore wind projects is facing new scrutiny. The move comes as high electricity prices become a top issue for voters. Federal permits for several large offshore wind farms, currently under construction, have been suspended. The decision delays a key source of new, clean energy. Analysts say the timing is politically risky. With midterm elections approaching, voters are increasingly concerned about costly home energy bills. Wind power, once built, provides electricity at a stable, low cost. The suspension blocks new power generation that could help lower future prices. Critics call the decision contradictory: it sidelines a potential solution to the very problem dominating the political debate.
