New York Attorney General Letitia James is spearheading a multistate coalition to counter President Trump's directive that suspends federal approvals for new wind energy projects. This action threatens to derail a crucial clean energy source and job growth in the U.S. The coalition argues that the president's order contradicts years of bipartisan support for wind energy, harming states' abilities to provide affordable electricity and endangering jobs. Governor Kathy Hochul reiterated New York's commitment to fighting this effort, emphasizing the chaos caused by the executive order on business operations.
James and the coalition assert that the president's directive is at odds with years of bipartisan support for offshore and onshore wind energy projects.
The unilateral halt on wind energy development is harming states' ability to provide reliable, affordable electricity to their residents.
Gov. Kathy Hochul stated, 'New York is not backing down without a fight,' emphasizing her state's commitment to challenging the federal directive.
The attorneys general argue this indefinite halt jeopardizes more than 4,400 existing jobs and 18,000 additional potential jobs throughout the state.
