Connecticut and Rhode Island are suing the Trump administration for halting the nearly complete Revolution Wind offshore wind farm project. The states, along with developer Orsted, argue the stop-work order, citing national security concerns (specifically, potential interference with radar systems by wind turbines), lacks legal basis. The project, 80% complete, would power 350,000 homes. The administration's actions are seen as part of a broader anti-renewable energy stance, impacting other wind farm projects as well. The states claim significant financial and energy reliability impacts from the project's delay.
