WASHINGTON, DC - U.S. Senators Jack Reed and Sheldon Whitehouse, along with U.S. Representatives Seth Magaziner (RI-02) andGabe Amo (RI-01) issued the following statement in response to a preliminary injunction issued by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia that will allow work to resume on the Revolution Wind Project:

"This preliminary injunction that allows workers to get back to the job is the right outcome and a welcome positive development. Revolution Wind is 80 percent complete, employs one thousand union jobs, and is set to deliver low-cost energy to homes in Rhode Island.

The Interior Department has provided no clear argument for its stop work order on the project. Our delegation stands united in urging the Administration to allow this project to proceed without further delay."
