NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) – A federal judge in Norfolk granted a preliminary injunction Friday, in the case involving the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) Project.

That ruling is a big win for Dominion Energy, which had been pushing back against the pause ordered by the White House. This allows Dominion Energy to resume work on the project.

This is one of five big offshore wind projects on the East Coast fighting back against the suspended leases by seeking a preliminary injunction.

Dominion Energy says the CVOW project will consist of 176 offshore wind energy turbines, which can generate a total of 2.6-gigawatts. That’s enough energy to power up to 660,000 homes.

1. Proof once again of this one absolute truth:

Trump is not omnipotent, and the states and the people are not powerless

2. Great News

According to Dominion, Trump’s EO was costing the company $5M/day. Being that VA has a regulated market, VA rate payers are on the hook to pay whatever expense the utility gets.

Project was scheduled to start adding juice to the grid this year. Hopefully, the courts keep Trump's interference to a minimum at this crucial time.

4. If it goes up 1 cent per kWh because of tRUMP, the stupid rePUKE voters will scream it's the Democrats fault

That's how dumb and racist they all are.
