The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear two cases challenging the federal approval of Vineyard Wind. Commercial fishing interests sued the federal agencies involved in approving the wind farm, which is under construction 15 miles off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket. The fishing groups argued that approving Vineyard Wind violated procedure and several environmental laws; however, lower courts sided with the government approval of the wind farm, and now the Supreme Court leaves those decisions in place.
