Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings and a coalition of 17 other attorneys general are celebrating a final legal triumph after a federal appeals court dismissed the Trump Administration’s challenge to their earlier courtroom win.
The case centered on a federal order that had frozen all permitting for wind energy projects at the federal level. Jennings and her fellow attorneys general had previously won a lawsuit against that order, and the Trump Administration had appealed that decision — an appeal that has now been thrown out.
Jennings described the outcome as a win on more than one level, saying it was a victory for the fight — though the full extent of her remarks was not included in the available release text.
The dismissal of the appeal means the original ruling stands, effectively blocking the federal government’s attempt to put a halt to the wind energy permitting process.
