On April 16, the Trump Administration announced a stop work order on the wind farm off the coast of New York that makes landfall in Congressman Goldman’s district that would power 500,000 homes in New York City upon completion. Since then, Congressman Goldman, joined by a coalition of elected officials and advocates, strenuously objected to the economic and national security harm that would have resulted from a permanent cancellation. Today, the Trump Administration lifted the stop work order, allowing Equinor to proceed with the project.  
Photos and videos of the Congressman’s advocacy can be found here. 
The Congressman’s efforts were cited in Equinor’s statement on the order being lifted here.   

“A month ago, the Trump Administration arbitrarily stalled New York’s clean energy transition by placing a stop work order on the Empire Wind 1 wind-farm project, and along with it the promise of 1,500 well-paying union jobs, hundreds of millions of dollars in supply chain investments, and clean energy to 500,000 New York homes. 

“But today, after relentless advocacy from a coalition of elected officials, organized labor, and advocacy groups, we’re back on track. 

“The Empire Wind 1 project is a cornerstone of our clean energy transition and a bold step forward for American manufacturing. I remain fully committed to doing everything in my power to see this critical project through to completion.”
