We are wholly the captive of one fossil fuel company
“Donald Trump is, without question, the greatest threat to clean energy,” said Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha during a press conference in Providence. “I agree with my federal colleagues that an affinity and affiliation with fossil fuel companies drives this. There’s no question about that. There’s only one way to deal with Donald Trump when he breaks the law and harms Rhode Islanders and Americans, and that’s to take him to court.
"It’s the only forum where we can get immediate results, as we consistently have, including on clean energy, and we’re going to continue to do that. The Attorney General’s office in Rhode Island has never been more important.
"Donald Trump is a threat to us in so many
ways, from our elections to clean energy, that fighting on all these fronts is
critically important. But the fight isn’t just with Donald Trump. We can’t
forget how important it is to make and keep good energy policy here at home. We
can’t blame Donald Trump for everything that goes sideways with our energy
policy.”

Attorney General Neronha has twice successfully sued the Trump Administration over illegal work stoppages issued against Revolution Wind. On Thursday, his office announced, with five other state Attorneys General, its intention to sue the Administration over its unprecedented use of the Treasury Department’s Judgment Fund to make $2.7 billion in payouts to companies to vacate their offshore wind leases, in exchange for fossil fuel development.
On Thursday, AG Neronha joined a coalition of 18 attorneys general in moving to intervene in a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for unlawfully freezing routine reviews of land-based wind energy projects across the country.
