Summary
California is preparing to sue the Trump administration after the Department of the Interior terminated a lease for the Golden State Wind offshore wind project off the state's central coast. State officials view the project as critical to California's clean energy strategy, which aims to develop 25 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity by 2045 — enough to power about 25 million homes. The legal battle escalates tensions between the state and federal government over renewable energy policy and climate goals.
