A coalition of eight renewable energy groups filed a lawsuit in December against six Trump Administration actions that allegedly hinder wind and solar project permitting. Environmental organizations, including NRDC and the Environmental Defense Fund, submitted a friend of the court brief supporting the lawsuit.

The brief argues that actions by the Department of the Interior, Army Corps of Engineers, and Fish & Wildlife Service are unlawful and impede market fairness, affordability, and climate goals. Wind and solar currently represent 17% of U.S. electricity generation, and the case is being heard in U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts.
