Attorney General Letitia James, joined by 17 other attorneys general, filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration's directive to halt new wind energy projects. The lawsuit emphasizes the negative impacts on clean energy initiatives and job growth, particularly affecting projects like Empire Wind 1 near Long Island. The coalition claims the blockade is unlawful and is seeking a preliminary injunction to reverse the freeze. James pointed out that the directive is inconsistent with bipartisan energy support and undermines investments that aid in transitioning away from fossil fuels.
As Attorney General Letitia James stated, 'This administration is devastating one of our nation's fastest-growing sources of clean, reliable, and affordable energy.'
The coalition argues that this blockade on all wind energy projects is unlawful and will seek a preliminary injunction to immediately stop the administration from enforcing the freeze.
