Trump Pays Yet Another Energy Company to Give Up Offshore Wind Rights President Donald Trump's administration has dealt another blow to the US's offshore wind industry, with a major energy company agreeing to relinquish its rights to develop wind farms off the East Coast.
According to reports, Equinor, one of Norway's largest energy giants, has given up its plans to build wind farms off the coast of New York and Massachusetts.
This move follows a reported payment from the White House to Equinor, sparking outrage among environmentalists and raising questions about the long term viability of the US's renewable energy sector.
