AG Neronha today issued the following statement after the Trump Administration announced that it would suspend leases for five East Coast wind farms, including Revolution Wind: 

“Today’s surprise suspension order affecting nearly a half-dozen of America’s wind energy sites, including nearly completed Revolution Wind off the coast of Rhode Island, is yet another attempt by this President to continue his all-out assault on wind energy. The actions of this Administration have undercut our clean energy infrastructure, causing Rhode Islanders to pay the price – in the cost of ever-increasing energy bills, placing well-paying jobs in jeopardy, and preventing a future of domestic clean energy production. The courts have already reaffirmed what we have known to be true since day one: that this President cannot cancel clean energy projects just because he believes doing so is politically expedient for him. – AG Neronha
