Judge strikes down officials' 5th attempt at halting crucial projects in major US region: 'Big win

for families and our future

I guess we'll just have to suffer the consequences of windmill cancer

In another victory for renewable energy projects, a federal judge has blocked an attempt by the current administration to stop construction of a multibillion-dollar windfarm project off the coast of New York State, the New York Times reported.

The move marked the fifth time that courts have intervened to allow projects to proceed as originally planned despite administration efforts to the contrary.

Kathy Hochul, the governor of New York, hailed the court's ruling as a "big win for New York workers, families and our future. It puts union workers back on the job, keeps billions in private investment in New York and delivers the clean, reliable power our grid needs, especially as extreme weather becomes more frequent," per the New York Times.

In recent years, everyday Americans have seen their electricity bills skyrocket, largely due to the increased demand that energy-hungry data centers have placed on the aging power grid.

Should approve wind farms right in the sight lines of his golf courses. He’ll be dead before they get built. But it would be a nice way to tell him off by approving soon.

Scotland, if you’re listening, I highly recommend you approve a wind farm off your coast. I know a very promising area you can authorize
