The Answers are Blowing in the Wind

Legal Planet: Environmental Law and Policy 2025-12-15

Summary:

The Trump Administration advanced two far-reaching arguments in this case.  One is that, when the President directs how an agency should exercise its statutory authority, normal limits on agency action don’t apply.  The other is that, even if an agency action is illegal, it must remain in effect against everyone in the world except the plaintiffs who challenged it in a specific case.  We can expect the government to keep pressing these points, up to and including Supreme Court review. But the district court in the offshore wind case, along with other lower courts, correctly rejected these arguments.
