Trump Judge Hands Another Offshore Wind #FAIL To Trump

The article discusses the ongoing conflict between former President Donald Trump and offshore wind energy projects in the United States. Since 2013, Trump has opposed offshore wind turbines, including a failed legal challenge in Scotland. Domestically, his administration issued a stop-work order on December 22, halting five major offshore wind projects—Sunrise Wind, Empire Wind, Vineyard Wind, Revolution Wind, and the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) project—citing national security concerns raised by the Department of Defense. These projects collectively represent about 8 gigawatts of energy capacity, with some turbines already operational, such as those at Vineyard Wind. Legal challenges quickly followed, and two of the projects—Sunrise Wind and Empire Wind—have had their stop-work orders lifted by federal judges, including Trump appointee District Judge Carl J. Nichols, who ruled that delays would cause "imminent irreparable harm." The fate of the remaining three projects remains uncertain but faces increasing legal and political pressure
