President-elect Donald Trump has announced plans to halt the construction of wind turbines, a move that could significantly impact the U.S. steel plate market. During a recent press conference, Trump criticized wind energy as "the most expensive energy" and pledged to implement a policy preventing new wind projects, particularly on federal land. This stance threatens billions in planned investments and could reduce demand for steel plates used in wind turbine construction. Industry experts warn that Trump's approach may hinder renewable energy growth and increase costs for consumers, as well as jeopardize jobs in the wind sector.
