Statement from Governor Kathy Hochul
Statement from Governor Kathy Hochul
"Today's court ruling allowing work on Sunrise Wind to resume is a big win for New York workers, families, and our future. It puts union workers back on the job, keeps billions in private investment in New York, and delivers the clean, reliable power our grid needs, especially as extreme weather becomes more frequent. Sunrise Wind alone will power more than 600,000 homes on Long Island.
"The Trump administration tried to shut down this fully permitted project under a bogus claim of national security. But energy independence is national security.
"Under my administration, New York will remain a national clean energy leader and continue fighting to protect these projects and good-paying jobs against a hostile federal government."
