Trump signed an executive order to halt offshore wind. What does it mean for Massachusetts' projects like SouthCoast and Vineyard Wind?

In a sweeping order, President Trump halted federal approvals for new wind farms, in a move that could affect projects on land and in the ocean.

Trump has claimed to be an expert on “windmills.” (It’s worth noting that windmill is an outdated term that originally referred to centuries-old tech that used wind power to turn stones to grind up grain; the modern tech designed for producing electricity is a wind turbine.)
