Court Strikes Down Trump's Wind Energy Ban as 'Unlawful'

• Federal Judge Patty Sarris struck down former President Trump's ban on new offshore and onshore wind power projects.
• The court deemed Trump's order "arbitrary, unreasonable, and unlawful," providing relief to the wind energy industry.
• The ban, issued in January, had halted permits for new wind farms, causing instability in the sector.
• 17 states, led by New York Attorney General Letitia James, challenged the ban, citing an "existential threat" to the industry.
• This decision is seen as a major political blow to the Trump administration and a turning point for America's clean energy goals.
