"Denise J Casper, chief judge of the US district court for Massachusetts, ruled that a coalition of plaintiffs representing wind and solar developers were likely to succeed on the merits of their claims that the administration's actions violate federal statute and will cause irreparable harm if the court did not intervene."
"The lawsuit challenged six final agency actions that it says place wind and solar technologies into second-class status, accusing Burgum of favoring fossil fuels and intentionally delaying the permitting and construction of renewable facilities."
A federal judge in Massachusetts ruled against several actions by the Trump administration that slowed clean energy development, including a requirement for personal approval of solar and wind projects by the interior secretary. The judge issued a preliminary injunction, stating that the plaintiffs, representing wind and solar developers, were likely to succeed in their claims that the actions violated federal law and would cause irreparable harm. The lawsuit argued that these actions favored fossil fuels and undermined renewable energy projects.
