Judge Allows Restart of Trump-Halted Offshore Wind Project

TL;DR Summary
A federal judge has allowed the nearly completed Revolution Wind offshore wind project in Rhode Island and Connecticut to resume after halting construction due to national security concerns, marking a setback for Trump's efforts to restrict offshore wind development. The project, which is 80% complete and expected to provide 2.5% of regional electricity, faced delays and financial losses, but the judge emphasized the irreparable harm caused by the halt and the importance of completing the project. The decision is seen as a win for local workers and advocates for renewable energy.
