"There’s no basis in the law to stop construction on a project that has been fully permitted" @theclf.bsky.social's Kate Sinding Daly told me Now the Trump admin's stop work order is facing legal challenges, from both the project developer & from RI & CT www.sierraclub.org/sierra/trump...

Three weekly news updates from CLF you should know 📍

The Trump administration's push to revive the Constitution gas pipeline won't bring down New England energy costs. A transition away from gas and towards cleaner, renewable energy sources is what the region needs: www.canarymedia.com/articles/fos...

While the South Fork Wind project was developing, CLF advocated for strong measures to reduce the impact to the seafloor. Those measures seem to have paid off, according to an initial report. Learn more: www.clf.org/blog/offshor...

Energy efficiency isn’t just about turning out the lights. Every New England utility has an energy efficiency program with money-saving and climate-friendly perks for renters, homeowners, and business owners who help utilities meet their energy savings goals.

On a recent survey of the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument, the New England Aquarium’s Anderson Cabot Center for Ocean Life scientists spotted 1,000+ marine animals, including an endangered fin whale and its calf!

Thank you Brad Campbell @theclf.bsky.social for setting the record straight. More fracked gas pipelines means more pollution, more cost volatility, and subsidizing fossil companies who want to sell the gas overseas. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/08/09/o...

Our thoughts are with Vermonters facing dangerous flooding for the third straight year. We can't just accept this as the new normal. That’s why we’re fighting to create a “Climate Superfund" in Vermont, which would compel Big Oil to pay their fair share. vtdigger.org/2025/07/10/f...

Excessive idling is illegal – but some companies are still doing it, violating your right to clean air. CLF’s legal victory will make it easier to sue polluting corporations: www.clf.org/blog/protect...
