Response to this claim
The settlement payments to offshore wind developers are not lawful compromise settlements of actual or imminent litigation and are a type of payment otherwise provided for by law under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, making them unavailable from the Judgment Fund under 31 U.S.C. 1304.
“These illegal backroom deals take money that should have gone toward lowering New Yorkers' bills and hand it to fossil fuel projects in other states, all while our energy demand continues to grow.”
New York Attorney General's press release announcing the lawsuits over the Bluepoint Wind and Invenergy settlement payments.
Archived copy (opens in a new tab)James directly rejects the payments as "illegal backroom deals", condemning both the legality and the effect of the Judgment Fund payments to Bluepoint Wind and Invenergy.
