Over the last year, they worked to create one with electricity prices rising faster under President Trump than any President in recent history. Now the Administration is taking more electricity off the grid while telling thousands of American workers to leave the job site.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll the projects suspended today underwent rigorous national security reviews during the first Trump and Biden Administrations. Today\u2019s decision creates needless uncertainty for any company that seeks to build an energy project in the United States. In America today, the greatest threat to a reliable energy system is an unreliable political system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe offshore wind industry creates thousands of high-quality, good-paying jobs, and is revitalizing American manufacturing supply chains and U.S. shipyards.
