Dec. 22 (UPI) -- The Interior Department announced Monday it would pause the leases of five offshore wind farms being built on the East Coast.
The five projects are: Vineyard Wind 1, Revolution Wind, Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind, Sunrise Wind and Empire Wind. The projects are near New England, Virginia and New York.
