One of the biggest U.S. wind farms was nearly complete. Then Trump shut it down.

The Trump administration has halted construction on Revolution Wind, one of the largest U.S. offshore wind projects, even though it was nearly complete and set to power New England. That decision has triggered a costly legal battle, backlash from state political and business leaders, and raised fresh questions about the future of offshore wind in the United States. Ben Storrow from POLITICO’s E&E News breaks down why the administration stepped in and what comes next. Plus, a coalition of green groups on Monday sued EPA over its decision to forego new water pollution limits for meat and poultry processing facilities.
