Is the UK about to dip a toe in the waters of energy reality? Some murmurings in the media suggest so. All the climate posturing has led nowhere other than endless bloated conferences, leaving much higher charges and a less reliable electricity supply. Meanwhile, the RWE payout is the latest in a string of US deals cancelling wind energy projects, a power source long derided by Trump, who said again this week that “any country with windmills is a loser”.

German energy company RWE has said it will abandon its offshore wind projects in the US after reaching a $1.2bn (£892m) payout deal with President Donald Trump’s Department of the Interior (DoI), reports BBC News.
RWE said that it will now reinvest the sum into conventional gas projects, including $900m (£669m) in a liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal project in Louisiana.
“After careful consideration, it was determined there is no path forward to permit these projects in the US for the foreseeable future,” the company said in a statement.
Trump has derided wind power for years and often uses his rally speeches to rail against “ugly” turbines.
. . .
Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said in a statement posted on X that Americans deserve an energy system built on common sense and not one dependent on “costly subsidies”.
“We welcome RWE’s agreement and voluntary investment in projects that strengthen our nation’s energy security,” he added.
The deal is the latest the Trump administration has reached this year as Trump, a vocal supporter of the fossil fuel industry, continues his push to halt offshore wind projects.
