Last week the Trump administration forced a Canadian-backed renewable energy company to abandon its landmark wind power project — and is demanding an equivalent investment in US fossil fuel development if the company wants to recoup $120 million USD in offshore wind leases. The project, Golden State Wind, is a joint venture wind power project off the coast of California. Reventus Power, a UK-based, wholly owned portfolio company, is the wind power generation venture of the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB). As of 2024, the Canada Pension Plan had over $1 billion CAD invested in wind power generation through Reventus Power. Given the threat caused by continued use of fossil fuels to future generations, this is truly insane and needs to be called out as evidence of unfitness to govern.
