Rhode Island Attorney General Neronha calls the Revolution Wind stop-work order unlawful and announces a lawsuit

Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha said the Revolution Wind stop-work order was not the latest development in what he called the administration's all-out assault on wind energy. He said "This is bizarre, this is unlawful, this is potentially devastating, and we won't stand by and watch it happen." He and Connecticut Attorney General William Tong announced that the two states would sue to overturn the order.

“With Revolution Wind, we have an opportunity to create good-paying jobs for Rhode Islanders, enhance energy reliability, and ensure energy cost savings while protecting our environment And yet, this stop work order is not even the latest development in this Administration’s all-out assault on wind energy. Just yesterday, we learned of reports that the Administration is pulling in staff from several different unrelated federal agencies, including Health and Human Services, to do its bidding. Does this sound like a federal government that is prioritizing the American people? This is bizarre, this is unlawful, this is potentially devastating, and we won’t stand by and watch it happen”
