In this "emergency" episode of Plugging In, Alicia Gené Artessa, Director of the New York Offshore Wind Alliance, walks listeners through the historic roller coaster of offshore wind development in the United States following the Trump administration’s abrupt halt on permits.

We break down the critical issues you need to understand, including the true timeline of offshore wind development, the strategic legal battles companies are fighting, and the remarkable resilience of the industry in the face of hostile policies. Alicia also shares compelling data, including South Fork Wind’s ninety two percent availability, and explains how offshore wind projects are already powering one million homes, lowering costs, and strengthening energy reliability during climate driven crises.
