Washington, D.C. — Turn Forward Executive Director Hillary Bright offered the following comment in response to the news regarding the lawsuit over the TotalEnergies NY Bight lease buyback:
“Well over a million American households could receive power from the offshore wind leases that are being dealt away instead of developed. Is the U.S. really in a position to take future power sources off the table? At a time of sharply rising electricity demand and affordability concerns, the government should focus on delivering all the electrons we can get.”
