The French firm TotalEnergies will not build offshore wind farms in the US, but it's a big world out there...(Seagreen wind farm in Scotland courtesy of TotalEnergies)
NORTHEAST — Today, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Vermont sued the Trump administration over the U.S. Department of the Interior’s $1 billion buyout of TotalEnergies’ offshore wind leases, a move that led the company to abandon its U.S. offshore wind projects in exchange for doubling down on … [continued]
With many gigawatts’ worth of wind power surging along the West Coast, California is forging new ties with the global floating wind industry.
Offshore wind stakeholders in California are moving forward with plans to develop 25 gigawatts by 2045, despite the sharp U-turn in federal energy policy.
A vast and well-organized campaign is actively underway to suspend global wind energy discourse. The Financial Times calls it the US president’s “crusade against renewable energy.” WindEurope, who describe themselves as “the voice of the wind energy industry,” say attacks on wind power pose a “systemic risk to Europe’s security.” … [continued]
Before a single offshore wind turbine rises off Philippine waters, something else has to be built first. Not at sea, but on land. Across San Miguel Bay in Bicol and the Guimaras Strait in Western Visayas, the country’s most advanced offshore wind zones are beginning to reveal a hard truth … [continued]
The Philippines has always been offshore or onshore wind viable. No one was looking. No one was feeling the breeze.

A new multi-state research and demonstration program aims to repurpose offshore oil and gas infrastructure for green hydrogen, among other uses.
The useful way to understand U.S. wind energy in 2026 is to start with a contradiction. In physical terms, it remains one of the largest and most important wind markets in the world. In policy terms, it has become less stable and less predictable in a short period. The dichotomy … [continued]
