“Revolution Wind shows us there’s no amount of hiding and pacifying and lying down and just being quiet that’s going to help us,” Tong said, referring to President Donald Trump’s administration. “They know we’re here. They’re coming for our project. They’re coming for our jobs. We just have to stand up and fight.” The attorney general said he expected the injunction to have an “immediate” effect while they pursue a broader lawsuit challenging the stop-work order issued by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management on Aug. 22. That order brought construction to a halt when Revolution Wind was 80% complete, citing unspecified “national security” concerns. Tong called the decision “unlawful,” arguing it reopened issues already resolved during the project’s nine-year permitting process. The U.S. Department of the Interior, which oversees the bureau, declined to comment on the litigation.
