Internal docs show Biden admin waived taxpayer safeguards to boost offshore wind project
Fox News
EXCLUSIVE: The Biden administration quietly reversed a Trump administration ruling, granting a offshore wind developer's request to waive a significant fee.
"At the same time the Department of the Interior was looking at forcing greater and more expensive bonding requirements on holders of long-standing oil and gas leases, they were relaxing these requirements on the nation's first utility-scale offshore wind energy producer, one that just coincidentally happened to be a client of their incoming #2," PPT Director Michael Chamberlain told Fox News Digital. Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"If you want to talk about bad optics, I don’t see how they could be any worse than right here," he said. "For an administration touting itself as the most ethical in history, this represents yet another incident in which Secretary Haaland’s Interior appears to have a tough time living up to that standard."
