Tell New York & Coastal State Leaders: Don’t Let Trump Derail Offshore Wind
New York just made a devastating decision: the Public Service Commission (PSC) abandoned plans to develop transmission lines needed to bring offshore wind energy to shore. Their excuse? Donald Trump’s opposition.
Let that sink in: New York’s climate future is being sabotaged by the fossil-fueled politics of Donald Trump and his MAGA allies.
This move puts up to 8 gigawatts of offshore wind power in jeopardy—enough to power millions of homes with pollution-free energy. Offshore wind is essential to meeting our nation’s climate and clean energy goals, and to pulling us. closer to a just, livable future. Backing down now is nothing short of climate cowardice.
We won’t stand by and let fossil fuel interests dictate our energy future. The PSC may have caved—but we can’t give up.
Join us in calling on Governor Hochul and New York and other coastal state leaders to immediately redouble their efforts to expand offshore wind and build the grid we need to deliver it.
- Recommit to bold offshore wind targets.
- Fast-track new transmission projects while complying with environmental laws and siting projects in areas where they will not negatively impact marine or other migratory species.
- Resist fossil fuel political pressure at every turn.
New York and other coastal states should be leading the way by developing offshore wind—not backing down because Donald Trump doesn’t like wind turbines.
The climate crisis is already here. Every hurricane, wildfire, flood, and deadly heat wave is a reminder that we need bold action—not retreat. Offshore wind means clean power, good jobs, and energy independence. Surrendering is not an option that any of us can afford to make.
The fight isn’t over. Let’s make sure New York and other coastal state leaders know that regardless of Donald Trump’s politics, the U.S. supports clean energy and needs and expects coastal states to follow through on the just transition.
Add your name now to demand bold offshore wind leadership and tell New York and other coastal state leaders to stop bending to Trump and start standing up for climate justice
