Trump administration drops appeal to block offshore wind projects
By
Matthew Chapman
Summary
President Donald Trump's administration is quietly backing down from its opposition to offshore wind energy projects. The Justice Department filed a motion to dismiss its appeal of a federal court decision that vacated an order halting offshore wind development. This marks a significant reversal from Trump's longstanding personal vendetta against renewable energy, particularly wind power.
