California is preparing to sue the Trump administration over its decision to terminate an offshore wind project lease. State officials argue this move jeopardizes California's clean energy goals, which aim to develop 25 gigawatts of offshore wind by 2045.

This action is part of a broader pattern where five federal leases off California have been affected, with companies like Invenergy also agreeing to terminate their leases. AI
