The Trump (R) Administration has become Less Aggressive about Shutting Down Offshore Wind Energy Projects. Courts have mostly Decided in Favor of Wind Energy in Fights with Trump. Wind Energy Projects have already Started to Stage a Comeback
A Federal Judge on 6/17/2026 Struck Down Trump’s Executive Order (EO) Blocking Wind Energy Projects, saying the Effort to Halt All Leasing of Wind Farms on Federal Lands and Waters was “arbitrary and capricious” and Violates U.S. law.
Judge Patti Saris of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, Vacated Trump’s 1/20/2026 EO Blocking Wind Energy Projects and Declared it Unlawful.
Saris Ruled in Favor of a Coalition of State Attorneys General from 17 States and Washington, D.C., led by New York Attorney General Letitia James (D), that Challenged Trump’s Day One Order that Paused Leasing and Permitting for Wind Energy Projects.
Trump has been Hostile to Renewable Energy, particularly Offshore Wind, and Prioritizes Fossil Fuels to Produce Electricity.
Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell (D) Hailed the Ruling as a Victory for Green Jobs and Renewable Energy.
