Response to this claim
Doug Burgum said the offshore-wind pause, which included Revolution Wind, addressed emerging national-security risks from evolving adversary technology and projects near East Coast population centers.
“Today’s ruling reaffirms what was already clear. The Trump Administration’s second attempt to halt the Revolution Wind project is driven by the President’s longstanding personal vendetta against offshore wind, not any genuine national security concerns. The Revolution Wind project has been repeatedly reviewed and cleared over the years by the Department of Defense.”
Press release issued after Judge Lamberth's January 12, 2026 order. Courtney disputes the national-security rationale for the December suspension and cites earlier Department of Defense reviews of the project.
Archived copy (opens in a new tab)Relative to the justification for the halts, Courtney says the December suspension reflected personal animus rather than real security concerns and points to earlier Defense Department clearance. That rejects the stated rationale outright, so condemns fits better than “Challenged the characterization”.
