Although much uncertainty remains, there is an emerging consensus that overall budgetary cuts are likely to occur in the coming weeks, whether as a result of sequestration or an alternative deficit reduction plan. In "Cliff Notes: The Long, Slow Trudge Toward Sequestration," published by Law360 on December 17, C&M attorneys Angela Styles, Steve McBrady, and Stephan Rice provide a brief retrospective of the developments in 2012 and a short overview of what contractors can expect in the weeks ahead as the countdown to sequestration approaches.

Federal Court Blocks Trump Administration Policies Restricting Wind and Solar Permitting
A coalition of regional clean energy trade associations — including RENEW Northeast, Alliance for Clean Energy New York, Southern Renewable Energy Association, and Interwest Energy Alliance — along with the Green Energy Consumers Alliance (GECA), filed suit in December 2025 against the Department of the Interior (DOI), the Bureau of Land Management, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and the Army Corps of Engineers. The complaint alleged that five agency actions, issued in response to a series of executive orders and presidential memoranda beginning on January 20, 2025, violated the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) by arbitrarily halting or restricting federal permitting for wind and solar energy projects. Plaintiffs sought a preliminary injunction to halt enforcement of these policies while the litigation proceeds. See Renew Northeast, et al. v. U.S. Dep’t of Interior, et al., No. 25-cv-13961-DJC, (D. Mass. Apr. 21, 2026) ECF Dkt. 89.
