Empire Wind I is Critical for Long Island’s Energy Future

“Governor Hochul’s leadership and commitment to Long Island’s working families, and President Trump’s decision to rescind the stop work order on Empire Wind I is critical for Long Island’s energy future. This project is supporting thousands of union jobs, has generated millions of local investment, and is critical to a more reliable energy system.  It enhances our energy independence, strengthens our communities, and puts Americans to work building out our manufacturing supply chain. The working people of Long Island are ready to get back to work.”

— John R. Durso, President, Long Island Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO
