President Donald Trump has ordered a pause on permits for new offshore wind power projects, which New York Attorney General Letitia James claims threatens climate goals and jobs. The lawsuit, supported by 17 state attorneys general, argues that the executive order exceeds Trump's authority and undermines New York's transition to renewable energy. The order impacts more than 7,000 megawatts of pending projects that could supply power to over 4.5 million homes, while delaying investment and job growth in a sector vital for the state's emissions-free transition by 2040.
This administration is devastating one of our nation's fastest-growing sources of clean, reliable, and affordable energy. This arbitrary directive threatens the loss of thousands of good-paying jobs.
The state projected it was already three years behind on reaching that goal before Trump started his second term.
