#RevolutionWind is one of 5 offshore #wind projects under construction along the East Coast that were ordered to stop work last month by the #Trump admin, which cited unspecified [BS] “national security” concerns. Several #states, as well as developers of 4 of the projects, have challenged the move in court. The case involving Revolution Wind was the first complaint to be heard.
