Speaker Shekarchi and Senate President Lawson statement on Revolution Wind lawsuit
|
Below is a statement from Speaker K. Joseph Shekarchi and Senate President Valarie J. Lawson on the lawsuit filed today by Attorney General Peter F. Neronha and Connecticut Attorney General William Tong challenging the Trump Administration’s decision to halt the Revolution Wind project:
“We applaud the lawsuit filed today by Attorney General Peter Neronha to overturn President Trump’s unjustified stop-work order of the Revolution Wind project that is 80 percent completed. This endeavor supports thousands of good-paying private sector Rhode Island jobs and is expected to deliver enough electricity to power several hundred thousand homes in New England. This infusion of new power is important to address energy affordability and costs for Rhode Island consumers. This project is essential for our economy, the environment, and the affordability of our energy supply, and we wholeheartedly support today’s legal action.”
