Trump faces legal setbacks on offshore wind and criticism on energy promises

A U.S. federal judge has allowed a major offshore wind project, which had been halted, to resume construction. This is a legal setback for Trump, who has publicly called wind farms 'losers' and said the U.S. 'will not approve any windmills'.

Separately, several reports are examining Trump's energy policies. Headlines claim his promise to slash household energy bills in half has failed, and that U.S. greenhouse gas emissions increased even before his policies took effect. In other news, Trump said Venezuela should remain a member of OPEC, and his administration prepared data centers for backup power ahead of a snowstorm.
