The Trump administration agreed to pay French energy firm TotalEnergies nearly $1 billion in taxpayer funds to cancel offshore wind projects off New York and North Carolina, directing the firm to reinvest in U.S. fossil fuel projects. This deal, announced in March 2026, aims to stop renewable development and encourage fossil fuel production.
