(Seth Wenig | AP)The Trump administration has ordered companies to stop construction of a wind farm that’s being built off the coast of Rhode Island. The order to stop work on the Revolution Wind project is the latest move by the Trump administration targeting the country’s renewable energy industry. President Trump, a longtime critic of the wind industry, in January issued a moratorium on new development of offshore wind projects. “Today, the U.S. has only one fully operational large-scale offshore wind project producing power,” Milito said.
