Connecticut Attorney General William Tong and Rhode Island Attorney General Peter F. Neronha announced today that Connecticut and Rhode Island will sue the Trump administration in Rhode Island federal court today to overturn the baseless stop work order abruptly issued on August 22 halting construction of Revolution Wind.
“Revolution Wind is fully permitted, nearly complete and months from providing enough American-made, clean, affordable energy to power 350,000 homes. Now, with zero justification, Trump wants to mothball the project, send workers home, and saddle Connecticut families with millions of dollars in higher energy costs. This kind of erratic and reckless governing is blatantly illegal, and we’re suing to stop it,” said Attorney General Tong.
