A coalition of attorneys general from 17 states and Washington, D.C. has filed a lawsuit against President Trump's executive order that pauses all wind energy project approvals. They argue that he lacks the authority to halt the permitting process, which is critical for economic development, public health, and climate goals. The lawsuit seeks to declare Trump’s directive unlawful, emphasizing its potential impacts on jobs and investments, and contrasting it with the Biden administration’s support for offshore wind as a key climate strategy.
"This arbitrary and unnecessary directive threatens the loss of thousands of good-paying jobs and billions in investments, and it is delaying our transition away from the fossil fuels that harm our health and our planet."
"Attorneys general from 17 states and Washington, D.C., are challenging an executive order Trump signed during his first day in office, pausing approvals, permits and loans for all wind energy projects both onshore and offshore."
