NEWS: Trump admin redacts entire Empire Wind study

The Trump administration has almost fully redacted a NOAA study used to justify the stop-work order on New York’s Empire Wind project earlier this year. (E&E News)

  • The Trump administration said the project was rooted in “flawed science” and got “rushed approval” from the Biden White House. But now, details are being kept under wraps. 

  • Construction has since restarted after President Donald Trump made a deal to increase natural gas pipeline capacity in New York. But? The previous stop-work order cost Equinor tens of millions, leading to a $955M hit for Equinor in Q2.
