Trump administration seeks court review of operating offshore wind farm
Interior Department asks federal court to reassess approval of Revolution Wind, a $6.2B project already generating power off Connecticut and Rhode Island.
What to know
- The Trump administration asked federal court on Friday to reconsider its 2023 approval of Revolution Wind, a $6.2B offshore wind farm already generating power in New England.
- The legal motion does not immediately halt operations but could trigger a lengthy review extending into early 2027, marking an escalation of the administration's attack on U.S. offshore wind development.
- The move comes after the administration halted construction on other offshore wind farms and canceled future project leases, raising questions about prior infrastructure agreements with Democrats.
“The Interior Department wants to reevaluate a key approval for Revolution Wind — a $6.2 billion project that is already producing power off the coasts of Connecticut and Rhode Island.”

Destruction of infrastructure is the step after chaos according to a kgb defector in the 80s.

The answer to your question is the Republican Congress. They are as culpable as the executive branch.

Ontario should buy it and add it to the electric supply they already sell the northeast US. More money for Canada.

Yes, that’s a fact but it’s the Executive actions this lunatic has taken that I’m referring to. Yes, he is enabled by a shit ton of sycophantic losers, but all of this still begs the question: where are the checks and balances? Why can’t we stop them all? I guess the answer is, is that tens of millions of Americans are completely okay with it all.

But data centers that TAKE energy are amazing??! Wind, however, is terrible to look at and so bad! Fucking idiot. And everyone that supports him.

Because the rest of the government allows it out of fear that later their own power might get checked in turn (like how they all illegally trade stocks)

It's not 'one' lunatic. It's one psychopathic pedophile and an army of republicans backing him up. The republican party is completely.rotten inside and out.
