It concerns two major offshore wind projects acquired under the Biden administration: Attentive Energy, with 3 GW off New York and New Jersey, and Carolina Long Bay, with 1.2 GW off North Carolina.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Under the agreement, the Department of the Interior will cancel the offshore leases and the Department of Justice will reimburse TotalEnergies the exact amount of its initial bids, $928 million. In return, TotalEnergies commits to developing no new offshore wind projects in the United States and to reinvesting an equivalent amount in:<\/p>\n<ul dir=\"auto\">\n<li>construction of Trains 1 to 4 at the Rio Grande LNG plant in Texas,<\/li>\n<li>development of oil and gas production in the Gulf of Mexico,<\/li>\n<li>as well as shale gas projects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Patrick Pouyann\u00e9 said: \u201cConsidering that developing offshore wind projects is not in the country\u2019s interest, we have decided to relinquish offshore wind in the United States in exchange for reimbursement of lease fees.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Doug Burgum hailed a \u201cnew success\u201d that frees nearly $1 billion previously \u201clocked up in ideological subsidies\u201d for an offshore wind industry described as \u201cexpensive and unreliable.\u201d The agreement forms part of the Trump administration\u2019s \u201cEnergy Dominance\u201d strategy, which prioritizes fossil fuels.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">The announcement prompted strong negative reactions from environmental advocates. Public Citizen denounced \u201ca waste of taxpayers\u2019 money\u201d intended to prevent private investment in renewable energy.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">With the agreement, TotalEnergies, already a major participant in US LNG, strengthens its US hydrocarbon position while permanently withdrawing from American offshore wind. It illustrates the Trump administration\u2019s prioritization of fossil energy production amid geopolitical tensions and pressure on energy prices.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Observers are questioning the long-term consequences of this policy for US climate objectives and the country\u2019s appeal for renewable energy investment.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump\u2019s US
