California authorities have issued a subpoena to the Golden State Wind company over its agreement with the Trump administration to terminate a federal offshore wind lease. This move is part of a dispute over energy policy, where developers have been paid to stop working on renewable projects in favor of conventional energy investments such as oil. The California Energy Commission (CEC) Chair David Hochschild called for immediate answers about the financial implications of the deal. The agreement is similar to a previous agreement struck with TotalEnergies, which recovers lease payments if developers redirect their investments into oil, gas, infrastructure, or liquefied natural gas projects. The companies have agreed to refuse any new U.S. offshore wind projects in the future while pursuing conventional energy contracts.
