We turn to offshore wind — once the centerpiece of New York’s clean energy plan. With a mandate of 9 gigawatts by 2030, the state has invested heavily in offshore wind projects. But political pushback, cost overruns, and a sudden halt to Empire Wind 1 by the Trump administration have put the future of the entire sector in doubt. What’s behind the delays? What are the legal and ecological stakes? And can New York still lead the way on offshore wind? Our expert panel dives into the debate. In studio:
- Nathanael Greene, director of renewable energy policy, NRDC
- Julie Tighe, President, New York League of Conservation Voters
- Alicia Gené Artessa, Director, New York Offshore Wind Alliance
