Rhode Island - Revolution Wind - Lawsuit September 2025
On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump issued a memo: “Temporary Withdrawal of All Areas on the Outer Continental Shelf from Offshore Wind Leasing and Review of the Federal Government’s Leasing and Permitting Practices for Wind Projects.”
.
On May 6, 2025, the State of New York filed federal litigation against the memo: State of New York v. Trump, Case No. 1:25-cv-11221.
.
Rhode Island joined the federal offshore wind lawsuit along with 17 states, including New York, that are suing the Trump administration over its decision to halt wind energy projects. The Trump administration recently halted construction on the Revolution Wind offshore wind project off Rhode Island on August 23, 2025.
.
A Boston federal judge will hear the case on September 4, 2025. The New York and Rhode Island federal lawsuit argues, in part, that Trump and federal agencies violated separation of powers protections under the Administrative Procedure Act.
.
If the court finds a violation of the Administrative Procedure Act, for example, the act requires public comment. The Trump administration could fix the error, seek public comment, and move forward, or the Boston federal court could ultimately rule against President Donald Trump. A ruling against the administration could be appealed to the Supreme Court.
.
To make matters worse for offshore wind, the Army Corps has confirmed it is reviewing several citizen groups' petition to revoke Orsted's Revolution Wind permit.
.
On September 4, 2025, a Boston federal court will hear motions for summary judgment in a lawsuit challenging Trump's temporary ban on wind energy development, which was allowed to proceed by a federal judge.
.
Despite a ruling for or against, offshore wind is not beneficial to any political party. Offshore wind is a bunco scheme with enormous consequences. People who value intellectual honesty should not quietly be fleeced by such mendacity from the world's financial institutions.
.
Citizens should question how any company can suffer a stock loss from $1400 to below $200 and still be operating. Taxpayers in the United States have built the ocean wind ports and, through renewable energy credits, financed 40 percent of the wind projects.
.
Globalists and venture capitalists are attracted to offshore wind companies due to government incentives. Jill and Joe, taxpayers, supply the cash flow that supports offshore wind. Jill and Joe become the only ones who can lose.
.
Offshore wind is an intermittent power source and a poor renewable energy investment for electric ratepayers and taxpayers.
.
In 1892, P.T. Barnum said, "There is a sucker born every minute." In 2025, we are building ocean wind turbines, killing whales, and destroying the environment to save the environment?
.
The alternative to offshore wind is small modular nuclear reactors, the only way to achieve net-zero goals..

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT
******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********
(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/

Sign up today and lend your voice and presence to the steadily rising tide that will soon sweep the scourge of useless and wretched turbines from our beloved Maine countryside. For many of us, our little pieces of paradise have been hard won. Did the carpetbaggers think they could simply steal them from us?
We have the facts on our side. We have the truth on our side. All we need now is YOU.
