Stop Trump’s $1B Deal to Cancel Wind & Build Gas

Donald Trump is reportedly planning to hand nearly $1 BILLION to an offshore wind developer—not to build clean energy, but to walk away from it.

Let that sink in.

Instead of powering millions of homes with clean, renewable offshore wind off the coasts of New York and North Carolina, this plan would pay a company to scrap those projects—and push investment toward more polluting natural gas infrastructure in Texas.

This is outrageous.

At a time when climate change is accelerating—driving deadly heat waves, catastrophic floods, and record-breaking storms—we should be doubling down on clean energy. Offshore wind is one of our most powerful tools to cut carbon pollution, create good-paying jobs, and protect our future.

But Trump’s proposal does the exact opposite.

It wastes taxpayer money to prop up fossil fuels. It sabotages clean energy progress. And it sends a chilling message to businesses and workers: that the U.S. government can pull the rug out from under climate solutions at any moment.

This isn’t just bad policy—it’s a dangerous step backward.

We cannot afford to trade away a clean energy future for more gas pipelines and pollution. Every dollar spent expanding fossil fuels locks in more emissions and more climate damage for decades to come.

Communities across the country are already paying the price for climate inaction. We should be investing in solutions—not bribing companies to abandon them.

We demand that federal leaders:

1: Reject any plan to buy out and cancel offshore wind projects

2: Defend and expand clean energy development

3: Stop using taxpayer money to support fossil fuels

4: Put climate action, jobs, and public health first

Our future is not for sale.

Sign now to stop this billion-dollar climate betrayal and stand up for clean energy.

The petition to the Trump administration reads: Do not move forward with any plan to pay offshore wind developers to abandon clean energy projects. Instead, protect these projects and commit to accelerating the transition to renewable energy. Taxpayer dollars must be used to advance climate solutions—not deepen our dependence on fossil fuels.
