An offshore wind project targeted by the Trump administration has begun sending power to New England’s electric grid, the developer said Friday.
The Danish company Orsted said Revolution Wind is now generating power and will scale up in the weeks ahead until it is fully operational. Orsted is building Revolution Wind with Global Infrastructure Partners’ Skyborn Renewables to provide electricity for Rhode Island and Connecticut, enough to power more than 350,000 homes and businesses.
Revolution Wind was one of five major East Coast offshore wind projects the Trump administration halted construction on days before Christmas, citing national security concerns. Developers and states sued, and federal judges allowed all five to resume construction, essentially concluding that the government did not show that the national security risk was so imminent that construction must halt.
this reads like a big shout-out to the unions.

Making ANY progress difficult.

Hey now! I keep getting told (mostly by so-called leftists and a great deal of never-trumpers, and of course many reactionary centrists) that we should never, ever blame the voters.
Apparently, all the blame for all the extremism of the far right conservatives and the dipshits that vote for them lies with…checks notes… the Democratic Party.
