Trump Plans Review of Equinor’s Empire Wind 2 Near New York

The Trump administration told a federal court that the US government plans to reconsider an important US government that allows the construction of the planned second stage of an open sea wind project near New York and New Jersey.

The US, the Ministry of Interior Ocean and Energy Management Office, the Empire Wind 2 project approved the construction and operation plan, the United States, the United States, a Washington -based Federal Court based on Tuesday, the residents of the region and the project was applied to the project by considering a legal challenge. Equinor immediately did not return the request for a comment.

The movement is an attempt to stop the open sea wind industry, which President Donald Trump calls “scam”. He stopped the new leasing and permission, moving to cancel the existing permissions, and even stopped projects under construction.

The government said it was consistent with a wide open sea wind examination ordered by Trump only hours after the opening of January. In addition, it is also compatible with the evaluation of an internal department that complies with a dozens of years of federal law, which requires a dozen different needs of energy projects in coastal federal waters, including protecting the environment and national security in coastal federal waters.

An Equinor manager said that in July, Bloomberg TV, Norway, is unlikely to follow the Empire Wind 2 project, which did not start construction due to regulatory changes in the USA.

In the file, the US did not define its plans to review the basic permissions for the almost built Empire Wind 1 initiative, after removing a stopping order that stops the construction briefly earlier this year.
