Wind Energy

On May 5, 2025, a coalition of 18 attorneys general filed a suit in Massachusetts challenging the Trump Administration's unlawful attempt to freeze the development of wind energy. We argue that the President’s directive and federal agencies’ subsequent implementation of it violate the Administrative Procedure Act and other federal laws because they, among other things, provide no reasoned explanation for categorically and indefinitely halting all wind energy development — a sudden change that reverses longstanding federal policy and is inconsistent with recent federal action propping up other forms of energy.
