What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The U.S. Department of the Interior filed a federal court motion seeking permission to rescind its 3-year-old approval for the Revolution Wind project in Connecticut. This action was initiated following a 2024 lawsuit by Green Oceans, an anti-wind energy group, which challenged the federal permits for Revolution Wind and South Fork Wind.
