Brown University researchers published findings linking anti-wind groups to the fossil-fuel industry. Marzulla Law LLC, representing those groups, demanded retraction and described the research as "false and injurious," threatening complaints to federal and private funders including the Energy Department, the National Science Foundation and the Mellon Foundation. Brown reached an agreement with the Trump administration restoring $510 million in frozen federal research grants after accepting certain demands, including adopting administration definitions of male and female and turning over admissions data. The Trump administration has halted or canceled thousands of other research grants and recently halted a nearly complete $4 billion Rhode Island wind farm project without citing specific reasons. Researchers said Marzulla has "a history of advancing anti-environmental lawsuits and significant ties with the fossil fuel industry" and accused a client, Green Oceans, of being part of "a fossil-fuel-funded disinformation network."
