Yet another judge rejects Trump effort to block offshore wind, saying NY project can resume

A federal judge has ruled that an offshore wind project aimed at powering 600,000 New York homes can resume construction. The Sunrise Wind project is the fifth project to be put back on track after being halted by the Trump administration in December. President Donald Trump has said his goal is to not let any “windmills” be built, and often talks about his hatred of wind power. In clearing the way for Sunrise Wind to proceed, Judge Royce Lamberth said Friday that the government had not shown that offshore wind is such an imminent national security risk that it must halt in the United States. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management declined to comment on the litigation.
