Interior allows NY wind project to move forward

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum halted the project last month, claiming that the Biden administration did not adequately review it.

But New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) said in a Monday evening post on X that she managed to “save” the project by working with the Trump administration.

“1,500 union jobs. 500,000 homes powered by wind. That’s what Empire Wind 1 will deliver,” Hochul wrote.

“I’ve been working with President @realDonaldTrump to save this project & today learned we’ve been successful. Grateful for his partnership on projects that create jobs here in New York,” she added.

Meanwhile, Burgum indicated in his own post the project’s salvation may have come in response to pro-pipeline remarks from Hochul.

“I am encouraged by Governor Hochul’s comments about her willingness to move forward on critical pipeline capacity,” Burgum wrote.

“Americans who live in New York and New England would see significant economic benefits and lower utility costs from increased access to reliable, affordable, clean American natural gas,” he added.

Burgum did not name a specific pipeline. However, the Trump administration has pushed for Hochul’s approval of the Constitution Pipeline, a gas pipeline that would run through New York. The pipeline project was canceled years ago after it failed to get approval from state regulators.
