Two lawsuits were filed against the Trump administration on Sept. 4 for its decision to stop construction of a wind farm off the coast of New England.

First to file in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia were the two green energy companies behind the wind farm project known as “Revolution Wind”: Skyborn Renewables and the Danish wind company Ørsted.
