Trump has vowed to kill US offshore wind projects. Will he succeed? [View all]
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Opponents of offshore wind energy projects expect President-elect Donald Trump to kill an industry he has vowed to end on the first day he returns to the White House.
But it might not be that easy.
Many of the largest offshore wind companies put a brave face on the election results, pledging to work with Trump and Congress to build power projects and ignoring the incoming president’s oft-stated hostility to them.
In campaign appearances, Trump railed against offshore wind and promised to sign an executive order to block such projects.

I think Trump will be surprised when the fossil fuel industry doesn't back him up on this. These large wind projects allow the industry to promote natural gas as a "transitional fuel" even when it's not.
