This is a huge win for clean energy! The US court's decision to lift the stop-work order on New York's Empire 1 offshore wind project is music to my ears

. It's crazy how one company, Equinor, had to sue the government just to get back to work. I'm glad they're prioritizing safety, though - accidents can happen anywhere.
I feel bad for the workers and local communities who were affected by this stop-work order. New York Governor Kathy Hochul was right on point when she said it would hurt workers, states, economies, and energy futures

. The impact of the stop work order is still being felt, and I hope this decision helps to move things forward.
It's also interesting to note that there's another wind project, Sunrise, which is still going through a similar process

. It just goes to show how complex and bureaucratic our energy policies can be. I hope we can get some clarity on this soon so we can start seeing the benefits of offshore wind power in action
