ACORE Statement on the Stop-Work Order Affecting the Revolution Wind Offshore Wind Project

August 25, 2025

Statement from American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) President & CEO Ray Long on the Stop-Work Order Affecting the Revolution Wind Offshore Wind Project:

“The Trump Administration’s decision to halt the Revolution Wind project off Rhode Island is an extraordinarily damaging mistake. This is a project that is nearly complete, fully permitted, and already putting 2,500 people to work and delivering billions in private investment to the region. It was months away from providing affordable clean electricity to hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses in the Northeast. Pulling the plug sends a chilling signal to investors and developers that the U.S. cannot be relied upon to honor its commitments, even when projects are 80% built.

“The consequences for consumers and the economy are serious. ISO New England has been clear: without projects like Revolution Wind, the region faces heightened risks of power outages and further pressure on already high electricity costs. Delaying this project threatens reliability, raises energy bills for families and businesses, and undermines economic growth – including the ability to attract new industries like data centers.

“This action also weakens America’s competitiveness. While China outspends us four-to-one on new energy and transmission infrastructure to power its AI-driven economy, the U.S. is stopping a fully permitted, privately capitalized project that would strengthen our energy security. That is a dangerous path. Investors, workers, and ratepayers deserve better.

“ACORE urges the Administration to immediately reverse course, allow Revolution Wind to move forward, and restore the policy certainty essential to America’s clean energy future.”

Carbon Capture and Synthetic Fuels

As we’ve noted in the past, the idea of capturing CO2 from the atmosphere is completely unfeasible, since 99.96% of the air around is something other than CO2 (mostly nitrogen). However, there are environments that change this equation radically, cement plants being one of them, where the concentration of CO2 emissions is as high as 30% (versus .04%).

Now, this brings the subject of synthetic fuels into the realm of possibility. Sure, if you want to make gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel, you’ll need two other things: hydrogen (which can come from electrolyzing water), and a considerable amount of energy, as these processes are heavily endothermic, meaning that energy must be supplied from external sources.

The good news is that we have enormous amounts of off-peak wind and nuclear that are wasted every day. Please see: Doty WindFuels.

With each passing day, there are fewer and fewer American voters who believe the bullshit at left.

Is Trump working hard to stay out of prison? Enrich himself and his family? Of course.

Could be possibly care less about anything else? Obviously not.

What’s the thought process of people in the rest of the developed world when it comes to visiting the U.S.?

Conversely, would you or I want to visit some country with a deeply corrupt regime that is systematically committing atrocities all around the globe, and whose leader is lining his pockets?

I’m glad I don’t own a resort in New England that counts on a flow of visitors from Canada. If I were a Canadian, I’d be thinking I’d rather visit hell.
