<p>Donald Trump’s second term has now entered its second month. His administration is doing much to slow down renewables, and <em>everything </em>it can to slow down offshore wind. Jael Holzman is a senior reporter at Heatmap and the author of our newsletter, “The Fight,” about local battles over renewable permitting around the country. </p><br><p>On this week’s episode of Shift Key, Rob and Jesse talk to Jael about the bleak outlook for offshore wind, the use of presidential authority to impede energy development, and why solar has been spared — so far. Shift Key is hosted by Jesse Jenkins, a professor of energy systems engineering at Princeton University, and Robinson Meyer, Heatmap’s executive editor.</p><br><p>Mentioned: </p><br><p><a href="https://heatmap.news/plus/the-fight" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Fight</a></p><br><p><a href="https://heatmap.news/pro" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Heatmap Pro</a></p><br><p><a href="https://heatmap.news/energy/trump-offshore-wind" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Offshore Wind Faces Its ‘Worst Case Scenario’ Under Trump</a></p><br><p>Trump is <a href="https://heatmap.news/sparks/trump-offshore-wind-dominion" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">targeting</a> Dominion’s Coastal Virginia offshore wind project in Virginia</p><br><p><a href="https://heatmap.news/plus/the-fight/spotlight/anti-renewable-energy-legislation-states" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A Wave of Anti-Renewables Bills Hits State Legislatures</a></p><br><p><a href="https://heatmap.news/plus/the-fight/spotlight/new-york-battery-backlash" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">New York’s Battery Backlash</a></p><br><p><a href="https://heatmap.news/plus/the-fight/spotlight/misinformation-renewable-energy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">How Bad Information Is Breaking the Energy Transition</a></p><br><p><a href="https://heatmap.news/plus/the-fight/spotlight/solar-farmland" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Solar’s Growing “Prime Farmland” Problem</a></p><br><p><a href="https://heatmap.news/sparks/barbarino-republicans-letter" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jesse’s upshift</a>; <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/05/business/hanford-nuclear-site-solar-farm.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rob’s upshift</a>.</p><br><p>--</p><p>Music for Shift Key is by Adam Kromelow.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
