$900M paid out to end wind farm project going to firm run by Mar-a-Lago neighbor

The Trump administration will pay German energy company RWE $1.2 billion to abandon offshore wind leases, with $900 million of that funding going toward a liquefied natural gas project partly owned by Michael Dorrell, an Australian billionaire and Mar-a-Lago neighbor who donated $1 million to Trump's inaugural committee. The settlement, part of the administration's move to eliminate offshore wind projects and boost fossil fuels, brings total wind farm settlement payouts to nearly $4 billion. The White House denies any conflict of interest, claiming the transaction is part of an "energy dominance revolution."
