The U.S. government has spent nearly $4 billion canceling offshore wind projects—paying private firms, including a German company, billions to halt clean energy development.

The US is paying a German firm $1.2 billion to stop building wind turbines. This isn’t about ending subsidies — it’s the most expensive subsidy for inaction ever created.
