Trump Halts Offshore Wind Farm Projects
President Trump has stopped the building of five big wind farms in the ocean near the East Coast.
These wind farms were supposed to give power to almost 2.7 million homes.
Trump doesn't like wind farms because he thinks they are ugly and might hurt wildlife.
He also says they could be a problem for national security.
But some people say this will make electricity more expensive and hurt the environment.
Governors from states like New York and Connecticut are not happy and might try to stop Trump's decision in court.
President Trump ordered a pause on five East Coast offshore wind projects.
The projects were expected to power nearly 2.7 million homes.
Trump cited national security concerns and personal dislike for wind farms.
Critics warn of increased power prices and grid reliability issues.
Democratic governors plan to challenge the decision legally and politically.
