US judge allows New York offshore wind project to restart despite Trump administration opposition

A US judge authorized the restart of the Empire Wind offshore project near New York, despite opposition from the Trump administration. The federal judge ruled that the project's suspension by the Interior Department caused irreparable harm and lacked proper notification. This decision follows a similar ruling for another offshore wind project earlier this week. The Trump administration had suspended five major offshore wind projects, citing national security risks, but studies suggest wind energy is cost-competitive.
