South Fork Wind is setting the standard for U.S. offshore wind!
Producing enough energy to power 70k homes and generating electricity 99% of the days it has been in operation, it’s delivering reliable energy while creating over 1k jobs. Read more here: nyowa.org/blog/south-fork-wi…

FACTCHECK – FALSE: US energy secretary Chris Wright thinks coal will still be world's top source of electricity "when I die". But solar is set to overtake coal in the early 2030s – and wind soon after.

America’s clean energy future is being held back by outdated policies and political interference—not by economics or technology. Americans deserve lower utility bills, good-paying jobs, cleaner air, and communities that prosper from transitioning to clean energy. on.nrdc.org/3QelgF1

Some may ask why a group like ours would weigh in at this moment. While we have all witnessed the chaos unfolding across the country, we at NRDC are also deeply concerned by how it impacts every aspect of civil society, including our work to protect the environment. 1/2

“Once again, the Trump administration is halting offshore wind projects that were already approved and underway, pulling the rug out from under workers for the second time this year,” said Brendan Griffith, President, NYCCLC, AFL-CIO.

The Trump administration will look for any excuse to continue its assault on clean energy — and the thousands of good-paying jobs these projects bring — but there is no credible justification for this stoppage.
The real threat to national security is in undermining our energy independence.
We are working with other impacted states to review every available option to get these projects back on track.

@GovKathyHochul is spot on - offshore wind means thousands of good union jobs, clean power, and energy reliability and security for our state. Political attacks won't stop NY from leading on clean energy and standing up for our workers.

The Trump administration should use this court ruling as a wake-up call: it’s time to stop illegal actions and get out of the way of a clean energy future.

Wind power is giving New Yorkers what they deserve: clean energy, a stronger grid, and thousands of good jobs. And even as Trump and his allies try to hold us back, New York is pushing ahead and proving what real clean energy leadership looks like.

We won our lawsuit and stopped the Trump administration from blocking an array of new wind energy projects.
This is a big victory in our fight to keep tackling the climate crisis and protect one of our best sources of clean, reliable, and affordable energy.
