"A critical permit for an offshore wind farm planned near the New Jersey Shore has been invalidated by an administrative appeals board, seven weeks after President Donald Trump declared he hoped the project was “dead and gone.”
The decision to remand an Environmental Protection Agency air pollution permit for the Atlantic Shores South venture is the boldest strike yet against a wind farm since Trump took office in January and froze federal permitting of the projects. It is also an unusual decision — coming nearly six months after the EPA issued that final air permit to the wind farm that has been a joint venture of Shell New Energies US LLC and EDF Renewables North America.
The action came at the hands of the US government’s Environmental Appeals Board, after a challenge mounted by area residents who oppose the project and say they are concerned about possible destructive effects."
