America’s offshore wind industry is on the ropes after two major announcements in the last month: President Donald Trump’s executive order to halt wind development and New Jersey saying it will not provide financial support for new offshore wind projects. POLITICO’s Ry Rivard breaks down how the industry is in tatters and what this means for the future of offshore wind in the United States. Plus, the Senate voted on Monday to confirm Chris Wright to lead the Energy Department.
