Judge Blocks Trump Effort to Halt Major Offshore Wind Project. A federal judge has reversed a Trump administration order that stopped construction of a major offshore wind project off the New England coast. The ruling allows work to resume on Revolution Wind, a $6.2 billion project that could power around 350,000 homes - According to Politico. Judge Royce Lamberth said the Interior Department failed to justify its decision to halt the project, marking the second time he has overturned such an order. The government argued the wind farm could interfere with military radar, citing a classified Defense Department report. But the judge called the shift in reasoning unreasonable and poorly explained. Lamberth also pointed to President Trump’s public criticism of offshore wind, suggesting political motives may have influenced the decision. For now, construction can continue while officials address any legitimate security concerns.
