A coalition of 18 Democratic-led states filed suit on Monday challenging President Donald Trump’s nationwide suspension of wind energy project approvals, calling it an unlawful and politically motivated blockade that threatens job growth, energy security, and “climate progress.”
The lawsuit, filed on May 5 in federal district court in Massachusetts and led by New York Attorney General Letitia James, targets a directive issued by Trump on his first day back in office that suspended all new offshore wind leasing on the outer continental shelf and froze related permitting actions.
