> Work on the nearly completed Revolution Wind project for Rhode Island and Connecticut has been paused since Aug. 22 when the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management issued a stop-work order for what it said were national security concerns. The Interior Department agency did not specify those concerns at the time. Both the developer and the two states sued in federal courts.

This administration is beyond stupid.

They bought their oil industry sponsors another month. This is just a district court ruling. Appellate and SC shadow docket are quite possibly going to quickly reverse the injunction.

I don't think it's corruption, I think Trump is just stupid and doesn't like windmills in the same way a five year old doesn't like green beans.

Yep and Charlie Kirk just happened to believe that climate change was Marxism. And Putin coincidentally thinks wind power drives worms mad with vibrations. And Nigel Farage vowing to stop wind and solar. And AfD hating heat pumps.

It's all just random personal dislikes and not the best funded misinformation campaign the world has ever seen.
