French company TotalEnergies is getting a billion dollars-essentially a refund of its leases for offshore wind projects off New York and North Carolina-if it invests the money in fossil fuel projects instead.
Stae attorney general from Conneticut, Maine, Massachussetts, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Vermont joined New York in challenging the cancellation of the lease off of New York, the larger of the two projects and the bulk of the payout.
The complaint filed Tueday manes Iterior Secretary Doug Burgum,among others.
He says TotalEnergy was simply refunded their money, which they have already invested in other energy projects in the US.
