A coalition of 17 Democratic state attorneys general, along with the District of Columbia, filed a lawsuit against Trump's administration, contesting its abrupt suspension of federal approvals for new wind energy projects. The suit, initiated in federal court in Boston, argues that this suspension threatens to undermine a rapidly growing sector crucial for clean energy. Announced on Trump's first day back in office on January 20, the pause affects both offshore and onshore projects. The attorneys general assert that this directive is unlawful and could severely damage the wind industry.
The lawsuit seeks a court order declaring the indefinite pause unlawful and barring agencies from implementing Trump's directive.
Seventeen states and the District of Columbia argued that the decision to pause all federal wind-energy approvals was unlawful.
