New York’s attorney general is suing the Trump administration over one of its deals to end an offshore wind project. French company TotalEnergies is getting $1 billion, essentially a refund of its leases for offshore wind projects off New York and North Carolina, if it invests the money in fossil fuel projects instead. State attorneys general from Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Rhode Island and Vermont joined New York in challenging the cancellation of the lease off New York, the larger of the two projects and the bulk of the payout. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum says TotalEnergies was simply refunded their money, which they have already invested in other energy projects in the U.S.
