This is the fifth and final offshore wind project that has successfully challenged the administration\u2019s stop-work order. <\/p>\n<p>In December\u2014three days before Christmas\u2014Donald Trump\u2019s Department of the Interior halted five offshore wind projects that were all more than 40 percent complete. Vineyard Wind off the coast of Massachusetts was nearly 95 percent finished and already delivering power to the grid. Trump\u2019s orders halted fully-vetted, billion-dollar projects and sent thousands of workers home at a time when construction jobs were scarce and energy demand was nearing its peak. Since then, all five stop-work orders have been challenged in court, and in all five times, the courts have ruled in favor of the offshore wind projects. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe unilateral court victories are evidence of what we\u2019ve known all along\u2014Donald Trump has it out for offshore wind, but we aren\u2019t giving up without a fight. Communities deserve a cleaner, cheaper, healthier future, and offshore wind will help us get there,\u201d said <strong>Sierra Club Senior Advisor Nancy Pyne<\/strong>. \u201cDespite the roadblocks Donald Trump has tried to throw up in an effort to bolster dirty fossil fuels, offshore wind will prevail. We will continue to call for responsible and equitable offshore wind from coast to coast, as we fight for an affordable and reliable clean energy future for all.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are glad to see Sunrise Wind\u2019s 800 workers, made up largely of local New Yorkers, get back to work on this critical project,\u201d added <strong>Allyson Samuell, Sierra Club Senior Campaign Representative in New York<\/strong>. \u201cOnce constructed, Sunrise Wind will supply 600,000 local homes with affordable, reliable, renewable energy \u2013 this power is super needed and especially important during extreme cold snaps and winter storms like Storm Fern. Here in New York, South Fork has proven offshore wind works, now is the time to see Sunrise, and Empire Wind, come online too.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, the Trump administration lost yet another legal battle in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
