Vineyard Wind has now joined the legal battle against the Trump administration with a lawsuit that calls the stop work order placed on offshore wind construction unlawful.

In a letter to the offshore wind farm last week, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management said Vineyard Wind "may continue any activities from those wind turbines that are necessary for the current level of power generation."

The Trump administration announced Monday that it is pausing the leases for several offshore wind energy projects under construction south of the Vineyard due to national security risks, the latest escalation from the President in his campaign against wind turbines. 

Several Island towns have begun discussing the potential to create an agreement that would demand better communication and planning from Vineyard Wind.  

Islanders can expect fewer blinking red lights along the southern shore after Vineyard Wind has turned on its long-awaited aircraft light system this past week.

Nantucket officials this week raised the possibility of suing Vineyard Wind due to poor communication, continued light pollution and lack of planning for future emergencies at the offshore wind energy farm.
