Why he did this is a toss up. It could be his dislike of wind farm aesthetics, it could be a stupid way to help oil and coal industry. Trump is so efficient! To Assisi the oil industry by grossly and unlawfully interfering with the business interests of wind companies is obviously self defeating.
He didn't care about the states that wanted and needed these wind farms
Hd didn't care that impoundment of federal appropriations is theft, either.
It tanked Equinor's stock price too, harming retirement portfolios. It fell a lot

Imagine the gall of doing this to a major project underway and tell me how this administration, along with everything else it is doing, isn't a gang out to harm us all —
"Equinor is considering its legal options after the US interior secretary, Doug Burgum, ordered the company to “immediately halt all construction activities” on an offshore windfarm last month."
Just stop, just like that, for no reason. Billions of dollars, massive project underway.

As if an analogous Presidential action hadn’t happened for almost 51 months.

So, we are going to shut down wind farms while we allow drilling in national parks for oil. I can’t believe the audacity of Trump‘s lapdogs.
