Yeah, they say that, but I wonder how much of it is just to make the Trump admin happy.

Like, I don't doubt that they will go and build gas projects, and might even use some of this money to kickstart it, but presumably RWE was already pretty far along the pipeline of preparing this offshore buildout, and there's likely a lot equipment orders, staff, ships, etc that they'd rather not cancel, and would rather redirect into another project if they can.

Maybe that's copium from me though, just sad to see a big wind project go to waste.

They'll certainly continue wind projects, just not likely in the US and not with this money.
