A Major Off-Shore Wind Farm off New York, Long Island, just received Court Permission to Resume Construction, the Second Loss for Trump (R) on the Topic this week.
A Federal Judge in D.C. Ruled Thursday, that the Empire Wind Project can Restart Work, Deciding that the Norwegian Company Equinor, had shown it would Face "Irreparable Harm" if a Federally Ordered Pause Remained in Place.
The Decision from U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols, a Trump Appointee, comes days after the Danish Firm Orsted, Won a similar Ruling to Resume Work on its Revolution Wind Project off Rhode Island, and Connecticut.
Together, the Court Orders Mark a Significant Legal Setback for the Administration's Push to Suspend Leases for Five East Coast Wind Projects.
In December, 2025, the Administration cited Classified Decurity Risks, in Ordering a Halt to the Two Projects, as well as Three Others in: New York State, Massachusetts, and Virginia.
Trump has made clear His Disdain for Wind Power, and has Vowed that His Administration will Not Approve Any.
The Equinor Project was about 60% Finished when Work was Halted, and the Company said it would Lose about $1 billion in Contracts, if it didn't Continue.
