Blumenthal Statement on Preliminary Injunction for Revolution Wind Project

[Hartford, CT] - Today U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) released a statement following a U.S. District Court issued preliminary injunction blocking the Revolution Wind stop work order.

"The Trump Administration offered no credible facts- not a shred of evidence- to support a continued stop work order that deprives thousands of workers of jobs and Connecticut consumers of more affordable energy. None of the government's trumped-up arguments have factual or legal weight. While I am pleased with today's ruling, construction should be permanently permitted to go forward, and workers should be allowed back to the site. The Trump Administration's irresponsible pandering to the fossil fuel industry cannot be permitted to persist in wasting taxpayer and consumer dollars," Blumenthal said.
