TREE NEWS update: The Trump administration has asked a federal court to allow it to reconsider three offshore wind projects approved under the Biden administration, keeping open the possibility of later revoking the permits. It simultaneously let five onshore wind projects proceed, two of them already approved, a move officials called a goodwill gesture. The White House has not disclosed next steps for the offshore projects facing legal challenges.
Trump administration asks court to reopen review of three offshore wind approvals
The selective treatment is the story: offshore wind stays legally exposed while onshore projects move forward, signaling that federal permitting risk is now uneven across wind segments rather than uniformly hostile. That distinction matters for developers holding approvals from the prior administration, whose permits can be reopened without being formally revoked. Whether the court grants the reconsideration request, and whether the withheld next steps for the offshore projects eventually crystallize into revocation, is the open question worth tracking.
