French company TotalEnergies isย
getting a billion dollars,
essentially a refund of its leases for
offshore wind projectsย
off New York and North Carolina
if it invests the money inย
fossil fuel projects instead.
ย
State attorneys general from Conneticut, Maine,
Massachusetts, New Jersey, Rhode Island and Vermont
joined New York in challenging the cancellation of the leaseย
off of New York,
the larger of the 2 projects
in and the bulk of the payout.
ย
The complaint filed Tuesdayย
names Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, among others.
ย
He says TotalEnergies was simply refunded their money
which they have already invested inย
other energy projects in the US.
