Biden Green Energy Project Halted by Trump Admin Based on “Rushed, Bad Science,” Study Finds

Most “green energy” is based on rushed bad science.

“Environmentally friendly green energy’ continues showing us that there is nothing environmentally friendly about ‘green energy’.
Even when the pitfalls are shown to be more damaging than fossil fuels and nuclear-powered generation, Democrats will fall on that sword. (commenter)

And why does the American taxpayer have to foot the bill? It should be energy companies and private investment. But there’s no way they would fund this garbage.

Biden green energy project halted by Trump admin relied on rushed, bad science, study finds

The agency found the Empire Wind approval process relied on rushed, outdated and incomplete scientific and environmental analysis.

By Peter Pinedo Fox News, April 21, 2025:

President-elect Trump, speaking to reporters at Mar-a-Lago, suggested his incoming administration could consider a policy “where no windmills are being built.”

A $5 billion green energy project touted by the Biden administration and Democrats was rushed and relied on faulty science that could have resulted in severe negative environmental impacts, a new study found.

The Empire Wind Project, which was being developed by energy company “Equinor” and was slated to see the construction of 147 ocean wind turbines off the coasts of New York and New Jersey, was halted by the Trump Department of the Interior in a move announced this week.

The project was estimated to cost a total of $5 billion and was being developed under contract with the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority.

On Wednesday, Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum said the project would remain halted pending “further review of information that suggests the Biden administration rushed through its approval without sufficient analysis.”

A review by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) appears to back up the Trump administration’s concerns.

The agency found the Empire Wind approval process relied on rushed, outdated and incomplete scientific and environmental analysis, leading to project leaders making decisions not based on the best available information.

The NOAA said that “monitoring plans to assess project effects on fisheries and habitat resources were inadequate, and existing compensation mechanisms fell short due to flawed scientific methodologies.”

Ultimately, these deficiencies “limited the ability to avoid and minimize conflicts between development and marine resources at both stages.”
