Trump Administration Withdraws Appeal, Leaving Wind Energy Leasing And Permitting Freeze Vacated
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on offshoreWIND.biz.
This is the sub-heading.
The Trump Administration has withdrawn its appeal of a federal court ruling that vacated the section of its January 2025 Presidential Wind Memorandum that halted federal leasing and permitting activities for onshore and offshore wind projects, leaving the court’s decision in place and the wind permitting and leasing freeze overturned.
These two paragraphs add more details.
The US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit has granted the federal government’s motion to voluntarily dismiss its appeal of a December 2025 ruling by the US District Court for the District of Massachusetts, which found the challenged section of the Presidential Wind Memorandum unlawful and vacated it in its entirety.
With the dismissal, the district court’s ruling remains in force, meaning the indefinite nationwide pause on wind energy leasing and permitting activities can no longer be enforced.
To quote one of my favourite accountants and a very good friend.
Trump has been screwed, glued and tattooed.
He also has appeared to have given up fairly quickly.
