Watch Part 2 of our interview with David Uberti, reporter for The Wall Street Journal, about President Trump’s “war on wind” farms. Despite well-established demand for new power, Trump recently paused leases for all large offshore wind farms under construction, which has “thrown the renewable energy industry into turmoil,” Uberti says. He has covered how the U.S. is forfeiting the clean energy race to China after Trump scrapped projects funded by the Inflation Reduction Act. Trump’s “animus for offshore wind has a personal link, as well,” notes Uberti: He once tried unsuccessfully to stop windmills off the coast of one of his golf courses.
Uberti also discuses his piece “What Happened When Small-Town America Became Data Center, U.S.A.” and his coverage of the role AI may play in the modern economy. Uberti expects in 2026, this will move from being “an emerging political issue” among the left to one that is more mainstream.
