US judge allows last of five offshore wind projects halted by Trump to proceed

A federal judge has ruled that the Sunrise Wind project, an offshore wind initiative by Denmark's Ørsted off the coast of New York, can resume construction after being halted by the Trump administration. This decision marks the fifth offshore wind project to be reinstated, as the court found no substantial evidence of national security risks justifying the halt.
