California and New York have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration over its decision to allow companies to buy back offshore wind leases, arguing the move could lead to higher electricity costs for consumers. The states claim the policy undermines clean energy goals and benefits corporate interests at the expense of public welfare. Legal action follows concerns that the administration’s reversal on lease terms may weaken long-term renewable energy investments. Critics argue the shift could delay projects and increase reliance on fossil fuels.
