AFPI Applauds the Department of the Interior’s Halt of the Empire Wind Offshore Wind Project
The America First Policy Institute (AFPI) recently partnered with the Independent Women’s Forum to submit an amicus brief to the United States Supreme Court in Seafreeze Shoreside et al v. U.S. Department of the Interior, et al. In that brief, AFPI argued that the Biden Administration ignored the Supreme Court’s decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, 603 U.S. 369, 412 (2024), when approving permits for the Vineyard Wind project off the coast of Nantucket, Massachusetts. That landmark decision overturned the doctrine of Chevron deference, transferring discretion for many administrative decisions from federal regulators into the purview of Congress or the judiciary. By disregarding Loper Bright, BOEM was able to bypass standard permitting procedures to fast-track offshore wind project approvals.
