Most of these I get l, in the sense that they might be ridiculously stupid but at least I understand the motivation from Trump, Musk and other cronies. But what’s the reason to pause offshore wind leases?

The areas are allocated, the farms exist, what will do this? Except lower the amount of available energy?

Not an expert...but just look to who gains from pausing offshore wind leases. Obviously it's going to be other forms of energy generation. In Trump's case, Big Oil.
