Federal judge overturned Trump's wind power ban

A federal judge has overturned President Trump's ban on new wind power projects across the U.S. The ruling is a significant win for the renewable energy sector. The ban, issued in January, halted offshore wind farm development and paused onshore project permits. Seventeen states, led by New York, sued to challenge the ban, arguing it threatened the wind industry. The judge found the ban to be "arbitrary and capricious and contrary to law." States, particularly in the Northeast, have been investing in wind energy to meet demand and reduce emissions.
