American Clean Power CEO Grumet criticizes the Revolution Wind stop-work order

American Clean Power Association CEO Jason Grumet said stopping Revolution Wind at 80 percent completion was more than a bureaucratic delay and was a broken promise to the communities, workers, consumers and businesses counting on it. He said the message to investors was that the U.S. was no longer a reliable place for long-term energy investments.

“Revolution Wind has been years in the making, planned, permitted, and financed under clear federal rules. Stopping construction now, when it is 80 percent complete, is more than a bureaucratic delay — it’s a broken promise to the communities, workers, consumers, and businesses counting on this project. This is not the first time extreme partisan politics has derailed sound energy policy. The unfortunate message to investors is clear: the U.S. is no longer a reliable place for long-term energy investments.”
