US courts clear offshore wind projects to resume building
Why it matters
The Department of the Interior had moved to stop turbine installation across five offshore wind projects under construction, citing a classified national security concern, after earlier temporary blocks on two projects without detailed public justification. The developers of each project filed lawsuits challenging the halt. By Monday, each case resulted in a temporary injunction permitting construction to proceed, despite being heard in different courts by multiple judges.
