The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) released a report criticizing the Interior Department for insufficient engagement with tribes, fisheries, and other stakeholders in overseeing offshore wind projects. Concerns have been raised about the impact of offshore wind turbines on military readiness, including interference with high-frequency and marine vessel radar, particularly in key maritime areas such as near the Arctic. Despite former President Donald Trump's opposition to the construction of wind farms during his administration, demand for offshore wind energy continues to grow. The GAO report characterizes the Biden administration's approach to offshore wind development as ideologically driven and poorly managed.
