Federal permit revoked for New Jersey offshore wind project

A federal environmental permit for New Jersey's Atlantic Shores offshore wind farm has been revoked by Judge Mary Kay Lynch. This decision follows a challenge from local residents and sends the permit back to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for review. This ruling marks a significant setback for the Atlantic Shores project, which had previously received the permit last fall. The project has faced criticism from former President Trump in the past. In a related development, Shell has withdrawn from New Jersey's first offshore wind farm. Despite this, the developer, Atlantic Shores, has stated it remains committed to the project.
