Court orders restart of all US offshore wind construction
Trump admin’s “it’s classified” ploy put on hold in five different cases.

TL;DR
- The Trump administration has shown animosity towards wind power, including false statements and an executive order blocking offshore wind projects.
- An executive order that blocked offshore wind projects was ruled arbitrary and capricious by a court.
- The Department of the Interior attempted to block five offshore wind projects under construction, citing a classified national security risk.
- Companies building these projects sued, and each has received a temporary injunction allowing construction to continue.
- Judges questioned the validity of the national security claims, noting the government's inconsistent actions regarding operational versus under-construction turbines.
- The courts are granting relief based on the lack of warning and potential substantial harm to the companies, pending a final ruling.
