New Cleaner-Energy Projects in the U.S.

planned

The U.S. federal government has announced a new, more stringent review process for renewable-energy projects, which could delay or halt new cleaner-energy projects. This comes at a time when electricity demand in the U.S. is increasing sharply, driven by energy-intensive data centers and AI models. Industry experts warn that these administrative attacks and policy changes could make it difficult to meet the rising electricity demand, potentially leading to higher electricity prices and slower economic growth.
