    The Trump administration said Wednesday it's buying back another energy company's U.S. offshore wind leases for four more wind projects, bringing the total amount spent on these agreements to nearly $2.6 billion.

    Chicago-based Invenergy has agreed to end its four offshore wind leases that were very early in development in exchange for reimbursements of lease fees totaling $765 million. The company had already canceled the largest of the four in November, Leading Light Wind off New Jersey's coast. The others are off the coasts of Maine and California. It will invest that money in natural gas and geothermal ventures that can be built more quickly instead.
