President Trump’s administration has ordered a developer to halt construction on a nearly complete offshore wind farm off Rhode Island’s coast, casting the future of the state’s largest renewable energy project into doubt.
The Trump administration halted work on Empire Wind for a month this spring before allowing construction to continue.
Politicians at Rhode Island’s highest levels of government vowed to fight the Trump administration to get Revolution Wind back under construction.
Revolution Wind was projected to double Rhode Island’s supply of renewable energy when operating at full capacity, according to the state’s attorney general, Peter Neronha.
“Without Revolution Wind, our Act on Climate is dead in the water,” Neronha said.
