Two guesses: (1) Rhode Island is democratic controlled or (2) Trump will personally benefit significantly by keeping America's oil production high. FWIW, we now have quite a few off-short windfarms in the UK. Apart from the curiosity (can you count all those little specks on the horizon), they're so far from land that they make basically no noticeable difference to anyone, other than a sizeable input to the regional electricity supply. It's about the least intrusive form of energy production you can get, maybe one of the safest, among the easiest to decommission, and doesn't waste valuable real estate on land. We need more of them, not less.
