Could offshore wind projects launch again in New Jersey?

It's possible, after a Massachusetts federal judge ruled on Monday that the Trump administration's order to cancel all wind farm projects on federal land and water was "arbitrary and capricious and violated federal law."

The president signed the executive order on day one of his second term, putting a chilling effect on an industry already struggling to get going in New Jersey.

Advocates say the court ruling is a huge win for clean energy, but there are many opposed to it in the state, including residents in coastal towns who don't want wind turbines off the shoreline, and Republicans who blame Murphy administration's reliance on a wind industry that never took off as the reason for the spiking energy costs today.

A spokesperson for the Murphy administration praised the ruling saying, quote, "We must keep fighting for this vital clean energy resource, which would lower electricity costs for families and businesses."

Governor-elect Mikey Sherrill has put her focus on solar energy.

And while the ruling could allow wind projects to start up again, the Trump administration could also appeal the ruling, leaving those projects in limbo.
