Oregon judge orders Pentagon to resume wind energy reviews

A federal judge in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon has ordered the Pentagon to end its freeze on reviewing onshore wind projects. This nationwide order affects more than 600,000 wind projects after Renewable Northwest and 19 other developers challenged the Defense Department's suspension. Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump-nominated judge, issued the ruling, marking a significant court loss for the Trump administration in its attempts to block wind power development.
