18 States Sue Over Trump’s Halting of Wind Power Projects

Eighteen states have sued the Trump administration over its pause on wind-energy permits, claiming the action jeopardizes a rapidly expanding clean energy sector and threatens job growth and investments. New York Attorney General Letitia James emphasized that halting federal reviews risks losing thousands of jobs and billions in private-sector investment, while also delaying the nation’s transition away from harmful fossil fuels. The pause, part of a broader series of executive orders signed upon the president’s inauguration, has created uncertainty for companies already investing heavily in wind energy projects.
