#Trump appointed Matthew Giacona, the acting director of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, issued a letter on Friday to #Orsted, the Danish company building the #WindFarm, ordering it to “halt all ongoing activities” due to unspecified issues.

“In particular, #BOEM is seeking to address concerns related to the protection of national security [?] interests in the United States,” Giacona wrote, adding Orsted “may not resume activities” until the agency has completed a review of the project.

Trump admin lifts hold on #offshore #windfarm, doesn’t explain why

#EmpireWind is a large project being built off #LongIsland by #Equinor, Norwegian energy company. The first of two phases, Empire Wind 1, will have an 800MW capacity and has already received permitting and environmental approval. #BOEM indicates a review of its approval is ongoing, but construction can resume during the review
