President Donald Trump's executive order targeting wind power has put a pipeline of projects at risk that could generate enough electricity for millions of American homes. The order, signed on Trump's first day in office, indefinitely pauses new offshore wind leases in U.S. coastal waters and halts new permits pending the completion of a review. This move jeopardizes proposed projects on the East Coast that have not yet secured permits, totaling 32 gigawatts of power, according to data from the consulting firm Aurora Energy Research. If realized, these projects would provide enough combined power for more than 12 million homes in the U.S., according to a CNBC analysis of data from the Energy Information Administration.
