A court rules that a hold on all wind projects clearly violates the law.

The short version

  • Nothing in that framework allows the DoD to simply stop participating in the process.
  • “If DoD wishes to alter the statutory scheme, it can ask Congress to do so,” Immergut wrote.
  • In the absence of congressional action, the DoD can’t simply ignore the law.

What happened

The ruling orders the DoD to resume the process of approving wind projects using the congressionally mandated schedule and to report back every 30 days on its progress. Ars Technica has been separating the signal from the noise for over 25 years.
