By halting construction for Empire Wind I, President Trump is threatening Long Island’s energy independence and reliability, putting laborers out of work, undermining our efforts to combat coastal erosion that puts entire communities at risk, and causing dirty air and environmental degradation. This project will power more than 500,000 homes and reduce reliance on foreign imports. Halting a fully permitted, shovel-ready project of this scale is unconscionable, especially at a time when we urgently need more clean, reliable energy to drive economic development and meet growing demand. The Administration is breaking the law while prioritizing the interests of their fossil fuel donors at the expense of working families - a reckless, dangerous move that turns back the clock on progress.”", "image": { "$type": "blob", "ref": { "$link": "bafkreid7c7ogz5ap442r6p5st65z76ib6be2rhvmer5gubq6yfb4x2q5sq" }, "mimeType": "image/jpeg", "size": 613329 }, "aspectRatio": { "width": 1346, "height": 980 } }, { "alt": "[NYS Senator Andrew Gounardes]\n\nFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:\n\nApril 16, 2025\n\nSen.

Empire Wind 1 isn’t just about power generation—it’s about powering our economy with thousands of good-paying union jobs, apprenticeships for our young workers, and billions in economic investment in neighborhoods like Sunset Park and Red Hook.\n\n“This project was fully permitted years ago. Shovels were already in the ground, creating jobs, before the federal government stepped in to pull the rug out from under us. This is an attack on New York’s energy sovereignty by a Trump Administration hell-bent on stopping the progress we’ve made toward energy independence and economic opportunity in working-class communities like the ones I represent.\n\n“I will not sit quietly while this administration blocks the path toward affordable energy, resilient infrastructure, and jobs that support families.” ", "image": { "$type": "blob", "ref": { "$link": "bafkreiejljynoovzju57wmm6nbcjugpqjadqflhu7cpwf4qrbxodxdo3hi" }, "mimeType": "image/jpeg", "size": 579398 }, "aspectRatio": { "width": 1330, "height": 974 } } ] }, "langs": [ "en" ], "createdAt": "2025-04-17T14:41:53.473Z" } }
