The developer of a major U.S. offshore wind project warned that it will cancel the Empire Wind facility off the coast of New York if it cannot reach a resolution over a stop-work order issued by the Trump administration in the coming days.
Molly Morris, president of the U.S. renewable energy arm of Norway's Equinor, said the company was spending $50 million a week to keep the project afloat.
"The situation is now unsustainable," Morris said in an interview.
