Where this statement fits
Was the federal government justified in halting Revolution Wind construction?
Federal officials halted construction of Revolution Wind off Rhode Island in August and December 2025, citing national-security concerns. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum defended the December pause, while Senators Jack Reed and Sheldon Whitehouse criticized the interruptions. A federal judge granted preliminary injunctions against both orders. In September 2026, Connecticut announced installation of the project's final turbine.
