Statement summary
Rep. Rosa DeLauro opposed the August Revolution Wind halt, calling it an absurd order driven by Trump's hostility to wind power. She said the nearly complete project had been fully permitted, supported jobs and would lower electricity costs.
“The only possible reason for stopping this project now is President Trump's bizarre vendetta against wind power.”
Relative to the federal halt of Revolution Wind construction, DeLauro directly condemns the order and calls for resistance. Her proposed motive remains attributed to her.
