The Texas Public Policy Foundation (TPPF) has filed a petition with the United States Supreme Court, seeking to overturn a federal court of appeals decision that permits the Vineyard Wind 1 offshore wind energy project. This project is located off the coast of Massachusetts and represents one of many similar initiatives planned for development across U.S. coastal regions.

Vineyard Wind 1 is part of an effort initiated by the former Biden Administration to reduce reliance on fossil fuels nationwide. However, TPPF argues that the project was approved hastily, ignoring potential risks to safety, the environment, and national security. The foundation cites an incident from last July when a large windmill blade collapsed into the ocean, spreading debris along East Coast beaches.

Ted Hadzi-Antich, TPPF's senior attorney and lead counsel in this case, stated: "The Biden Administration’s Departments of the Interior, Commerce, and Defense knew that the Vineyard Wind 1 project would result in momentous adverse impacts to safety, the environment, endangered species, and national security but permitted it anyway." He further criticized federal agencies for allegedly violating laws such as the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act and the National Environmental Policy Act.

Hadzi-Antich emphasized TPPF's role in ensuring that administrative agencies adhere to legal obligations: "This is a stark example of federal administrative agencies shirking their responsibilities to follow the law. When that happens, we are here to hold their feet to the fire."
