New York, Empire Wind and Trump
Digest more
A wind project in New York mothballed by the Trump administration is getting a new lease on life through a compromise that would also see an abandoned natural gas pipeline from Pennsylvania to New York revived.
The Trump administration had issued a highly unusual stop-work order on the Empire Wind project last month, leading to intense pushback from officials in New York.
Federal orders issued under the Trump administration halted construction of New York’s Empire Wind Project, triggering legal challenges and raising concerns about the impacts on New York’s energy supply going forward.
