NEWPORT – Rhode Island Attorney General Peter F. Neronha says that he’s been in touch with his counterpart in Connecticut over possible legal proceedings in response to the Trump administration’s Aug. 22 order that stopped work on Revolution Wind , a 65-turbine offshore wind farm that has contracts to sell power to the two states.

“When there’s a project that’s 80% done, that’s going to deliver energy to hundreds of thousands of homes in Connecticut and Rhode Island, there’s a reliance interest there on behalf of the states,” he said in an interview after a pro-wind rally in Newport on Tuesday, Aug. 26. “The states are certainly implicated here in a way that in my view violates the law.”
