Coalition Of Democratic Attorneys General Challenges Federal Halt On Onshore Wind Projects
A coalition of Democratic state attorneys general has joined a lawsuit seeking to end the Trump administration’s halt of onshore wind projects in the United States. The lawsuit, filed by wind industry companies against the Department of Defense, claims that the federal government has frozen all new wind projects by refusing to conduct routine national security reviews. The attorneys general argue that this freeze has halted over 155 onshore wind projects, causing harm to states, developers, workers, and ratepayers. The case was first reported by an unknown source.
