This is a victory for Orsted for this wind farm and some similar projects. But the coverage I've read (including Bloomberg News', copied below) does little to no analysis of how much other potential renewable energy generation capacity has been chilled by Pres. Trump's admin. Hopefully that follows.
EPA leadership, including EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin and Asst. Administrator Aaron Szabo, seek to loosen rules limiting air emissions. This degradation has been well reported (when not done overtly). But will industry's ever-longer rope be used to hang them down the line? Don't hold your breath. 😨
@maxinejoselow.bsky.social's NYT piece should set off alarms within every environmental lawyer's office. Maxine and her editors properly framed/included a warning for the public to be vigilant about exposure to PM2.5 and ozone—the sort of vigilance we used to expect from U.S. EPA. Brava, Maxine!
Amoral, self-interested thought: Affected landowners can recover $$$ suing a bad actor for trespass. Yet few lawyers from the respective environmental and plaintiff bars cross-over to do plaintiff-side environmental work.
PS Evergreen Environmental Law strives to be moral and community-interested.
Evergreen Environmental Law can help landowners protect or restore properties from many kinds of damages, including contamination caused by bad industrial actors whose negligent storage of dangerous chemicals might not withstand a #flood caused by #kingtides.

Properties on Day Island, near Tacoma, WA, were flooded during December 2022's overlapping downpours and king tides.
Rain and king tides will soon inundate low-lying western Washington coastal areas and river valleys with moderate #flooding. Skagit, Snohomish, Pierce, King, Mason, Thurston, and Yakima counties have at least moderate flood risk according to NOAA, which has a handy tool here: water.noaa.gov
