Judge lifts Trump’s halt of nearly complete offshore wind energy project

A federal judge has allowed construction to resume on the nearly complete Revolution Wind offshore wind project, overruling a Trump administration halt based on unspecified national security concerns. The project, 80% finished and costing $2.3 million daily in delays, faced potential collapse if halted. The judge cited irreparable harm to the developers, Orsted and Skyborn Renewables, and the thousands of workers involved. The administration has yet to comment, but the ruling marks a setback for Trump's efforts to curb offshore wind energy development.
