💨 Abstract

The article discusses legal maneuvers surrounding a proposed offshore wind farm near Ocean City, Maryland. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) directed the state to allow appeals in its Environmental Appeals Board rather than in courts, a move opposed by state officials and the wind farm developer, US Wind. This legal battle reflects broader political tensions, with proponents supporting green energy initiatives under the Biden administration and opponents aligning with Trump's stances against wind projects. The appeals board is still determining its jurisdiction in the matter.
