18-State Coalition Sues Trump Administration Over Block On Wind Energy Projects
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on offshoreWIND.biz.
This is the sub-heading.
A coalition of 18 state attorneys general has filed a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s directive to stop federal approvals for both onshore and offshore wind energy developments, warning that the policy could seriously damage the wind industry and hinder progress on renewable energy.
These two introductory paragraphs add some details.
The coalition alleges that the administration’s directive and federal agencies’ subsequent implementation of it violate the Administrative Procedure Act and other laws by offering no reasoned justification for reversing federal policy and freezing all approvals.
The lawsuit, led by New York state, also alleges that the sudden halt on all permitting violates numerous federal statutes that prescribe specific procedures and timelines for federal permitting and approvals.
As New York state is mentioned, I wonder if this case could end up in front of The Lady On The Train, who turned out to be a New York State Supreme Court Judge.

If your lady on the train is now a Supreme Court Judge, otherwise judgements in cases where a State brings suit against the Federal Government are rendered by the Supreme Court of the United States. The Supreme Court’s rulings on these cases establish precedent and interpret the constitution, federal laws, and international agreements

I think she was only a New York State Supreme Court Judge, but she could have been from the Supreme Court.
But she was a lovely cultured lady, with a wicked sense of humour.

Which state? Surely this would need to go in front of a Federal Court?

The Supreme Court of the United States is the highest court in the federal judiciary, serving as the ultimate court of appeal for all U.S. federal court cases and state court cases.

BTW, the action being undertaken by these States is but one of 39 that have been taken out against the Trump Administration either collectively or by individual States since he assumed office in January.
The number of community organisation and individual cases raised are too numerous to mention. I’d guess the SCOTUS won’t get through many of them by time the next election comes around.
