[Trump administration requests cancellation of $6 billion Maryland offshore wind project] The Trump administration asked a federal court to cancel the approval of a $6 billion wind power project planned to be built off the coast of Maryland as part of its broader efforts to prevent the development of offshore clean energy resources. According to a court document filed on Friday local time, the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is seeking to revoke the license granted to the Maryland offshore wind power project. The government had already indicated its intention to stop the development of the wind farm in a document last month. According to Friday's document, BOEM stated that in its previous approval of the facility during the Biden administration, it underestimated the project's impact on search and rescue helicopters and commercial fisheries. BOEM also said that it found errors in weighing certain statutory factors, which led to the previous approval of the facility during the Biden administration.
