This memorandum prohibits the leasing of any area within the Offshore Continental Shelf for the purposes of wind energy and temporarily pauses the issuance of new or renewed approvals, permits, leases, and loans for wind projects. Taken together, these actions represent an attack on the development of the nation's largest source of renewable energy. According to the American Clean Power Association, there is enough offshore wind capacity being developed in our country to power 30 million homes. Notably, the order's prohibition of leasing land within the Offshore Continental Shelf does not apply to leases related to oil and gas.
