Delaware Supreme Court upholds permit for offshore wind company, dealing a blow to 'local control'

This decision represents a blow to 'local control' advocates but was praised by the Attorney General as crucial for addressing the state's electricity needs. The article also notes that data center development could further strain Delaware's energy grid, making projects like the wind farm more critical.
