💨 Abstract

A federal judge struck down President Trump's executive order blocking wind energy projects, deeming it "arbitrary and capricious." The ruling, in favor of a coalition of 17 states and D.C., allows wind energy projects to proceed, protecting investments and green jobs. The judge ruled that Trump overstepped his authority, and the decision was hailed as a victory for renewable energy and climate goals. The Trump administration had argued that the order was a temporary pause for review.
