New York and six other states sued the United States administration on Tuesday to reverse a $795 million offshore wind lease cancellation. The lawsuit challenges a March 23 Interior Department decision to terminate a project held by a subsidiary of TOTALENERGIES SE. The states argue the move undermines renewable energy goals and job creation by prioritizing fossil fuel development over offshore wind.
