A federal judge ruled on Monday that a nearly complete offshore wind project halted by the administration can resume, dealing President Donald Trump a setback in his ongoing effort to restrict the fledgling industry.
Work on the nearly completed Revolution Wind project for Rhode Island and Connecticut has been paused since 22 August, when the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) 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.
