Ørsted’s whopping Revolution Wind project, promising to jazz up the Massachusetts and Rhode Island coasts with turbines bigger than your imagination, has been mysteriously halted by a national security stop-work order. No, it’s not a superhero blockbuster, but the government’s vague yet ominous concern about national security just slapped the brakes on this green energy lovefest. Picture waves of potential clean power turned into red tape, leaving locals and clean energy enthusiasts in limbo. The irony? 'National security' versus renewable security—because apparently, some offshore turbines just can’t catch a break on their debut gig.
