How does the US wind industry's current situation compare to the global landscape?

The Trump administration's actions, driven by the President's personal opposition to wind turbines, are causing significant uncertainty within the US wind industry. This uncertainty is leading companies to delay projects, cancel plans for new factories (resulting in the loss of 350 potential jobs), and lay off workers. This is happening despite the potential for offshore wind to provide energy security and meet increasing energy demands, particularly from AI.
