**US Halts Orsted Offshore Wind Project, Nation’s Hot Air Supply Now in Jeopardy**
In a bold move that scientists are calling “gusty,” the US government has ordered Danish energy giant Orsted to abruptly halt its offshore wind project, proving once and for all that when it comes to renewable energy, America always reserves the right to change direction—particularly if that direction involves fossil fuels.
A spokesperson for Orsted, speaking through a swirling swirl of wind-blown papers, announced, “We are disappointed but understand the United States wishes to preserve its rich tradition of energy policy unpredictability. Also, we’re still not totally sold on how many eagles those things were supposed to kill anyway.”
Industry experts worry the decision could severely disrupt the nation’s already glacial transition to clean energy. “We were hoping to have at least a modest amount of renewable electricity before Earth’s core cooled off,” said Dr. Darla Zepplin, energy analyst and part-time kite enthusiast.
Meanwhile, the oil and gas industry released an official statement that simply read, “Wind? Never heard of her.”
Sources close to the administration insist the halt is *not* related to loud complaints from local fishermen or reports that several offshore turbines were “making fun of the president’s hairline.” Instead, officials cited “serious concerns over the project’s ability to supply wind during windless days, which we now know is most of them.”
The cancelation has already impacted the economy: stocks in coal and sadness are up, while sales of commemorative Orsted windmill snow globes have flatlined.
Despite the setbacks, Orsted remains optimistic. “Denmark still loves wind, and if America ever wants to try again, we’ll be over here—waiting, spinning, and endlessly generating hope,” said a wistful executive before being carried off by a rogue breeze.
For now, America’s wind seems focused exclusively on political talking points—and, more importantly, blowing things off.
