Can a bipartisan offshore wind caucus survive Trump?
Republican support for offshore wind has flatlined across the federal government, but Capitol Hill's only bipartisan caucus dedicated to the energy source is hoping to reverse that trend.
The House Offshore Wind Caucus, created in 2022, was pitched as a way to find bipartisan solutions to address the industry's challenges and create policies to spur further growth of the renewable energy source.
It's main leader, Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-Calif.), said in a recent interview that the caucus will remain active in the coming year to achieve those goals.

The offshore wind industry, however, needs the caucus to be more active and supportive than ever, due to a flurry of executive actions from President Donald Trump that have thrown the industry into chaos.
