Allen Hall: Starting the week off in India, India’s wind energy sector is investing heavily in capacity and workforce development to double its current 50 gigawatt capacity by 2030. The Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association says they’re focusing on technology innovations while advancing the Make in India mission to achieve this ambitious target.

The country already has 18 gigawatts of annual manufacturing capacity for turbines and components. Companies like LAN and zf Windpower produce critical parts locally. Positioning India as a potential global export hub. Renewable sector hiring is expected to grow by 19% this year in India with most workers being young [00:01:00] Indians between 26 and 35 years old.

Over in the uk the UK’s Crown estate has approved expansion of high density wind farms on existing seabed leases to support the country’s energy transition. Seven projects will increase capacity by 4.7 gigawatts helping Britain towards its target of 50 gigawatts of offshore wind by 2030.

Up from the current 15 gigawatts projects include RWE’s Ramon two and SSE’s and Equinor’s Dogger Bank D. The Crown Estate’s Marine director Gus Jasper says, this capacity increase program will provide up to 4 million homes with clean energy and decrease the UK’s reliance on internationally sourced fossil fuels.

Britain is already the world’s second largest offshore wind market after China, though inflation and supply chain issues have challenged the sector recently.

Over in the United States, a coalition of 17 states and Washington [00:02:00]DC has filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump’s executive order halting wind energy development. The order signed on his first day in office, pauses, approvals, permits, and loans for all wind projects, both offshore and onshore.

New York Attorney General Letitia James leading the coalition argues the directive threatens thousands of good paying jobs and billions in investment while delaying the transition away from fossil fuels. The administration recently ordered Norwegian company Ecuador to halt construction on Empire Wind, one near Long Island, despite the project being 30% complete after a seven year permitting process.

Wind currently provides about 10% of US electricity, making it the nation’s largest renewable energy source. The states argued Trump’s order contradicts years of bipartisan support for wind energy and his own declaration of quote, a national energy emergency unquote calling for expanded domestic energy production.[00:03:00]

The administration has also suspended funding for floating offshore wind research in Maine and revoked permits for a project in New Jersey. Internationally, other nations are accelerating wind investments with the UK and Canada’s Nova Scotia recently announcing major offshore expansion plans. That’s this week’s top News stories.

Those who are involved in science are concerned that American society is threated by misinformation.

Of course, MAGA crowd, the antivaxxers, the climate deniers, etc. believe the opposite, i.e., the people like Anthony Fauci, who have dedicated their entire adult lives to human health, have suddenly become corrupt, and are profiting from fake science while destroying the U.S. economy.

ACORE Statement on the Department of Interior’s Action to Halt Fully Permitted Offshore Wind Construction Projects

December 23, 2025

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) issued the following statement from ACORE President and CEO Ray Long in response to the Department of the Interior’s action to halt fully permitted offshore wind construction projects:

“Americans expect their government and private sector to work together to ensure that the lights stay on and their electric bills are affordable. The five East Coast offshore wind projects that have been paused should be a total success story: $28 billion in committed private sector capital, expanded port infrastructure, support for domestic shipbuilding, and 10,000 good-paying local jobs—all to support a more robust, affordable, reliable, and secure electricity resource base for decades to come. Given skyrocketing electricity demand forecasts and consumers’ clear concerns about affordability, projects like these need to get over the finish line to give people confidence that government and the private sector can still deliver on big things. Unfortunately, actions like this send the opposite message at exactly the wrong time.”
