The Trump administration agreed to return $1 billion to the France-based energy developer Total Energies if they agree not to build its offshore wind projects in the United States and walk away from its leases.

The company also had to agree it would not pursue any more offshore wind developments in the United States.

Following the announcement, the BlueGreen Alliance released a statement from Vice President of Federal Affairs Katie Harris:

“Donald Trump truly can’t leave a good thing alone. His never-ending vendetta against offshore wind shows that he either doesn’t understand the affordable energy crisis or that he just doesn’t care. Either way, it’s clear he’s never paid his own electricity bill, and he’s determined to raise bills for working people. He’s failed at every other attempt to halt offshore wind development, so now he’s doing what he always does: squandering taxpayer funds to force his own agenda.”
