Days after President Donald Trump halted an offshore wind development designed to help power Connecticut as soon as next year, Gov. Ned Lamont outlined two possible paths toward saving the project. The first, Lamont said, is to speak with Trump administration officials, including some the governor has sought to maintain a friendly relationship with, and impress upon them the importance of Revolution Wind, an ambitious offshore wind farm that is already about 80% complete. If that approach fails, Lamont said, the second option to to sue the Trump administration, as Connecticut has in numerous other instances. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, who joined Lamont and other officials in New London on Monday, said he expects a lawsuit to resume the project would be successful. The Trump administration’s stated reason for halting the project was to “address concerns related to the protection of national security interests of the United States.” Federal officials have not specified what the national security concerns are.
