Description
Description | The Trump administration announced it will not approve new wind or solar power projects, particularly those that affect farmland. The permitting process for renewable projects on federal land has been centralized under Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, who has the final say on project approvals. The U.S. Department of Agriculture will no longer fund solar panels on farmland or allow solar panels created by foreign adversaries in USDA projects. The administration plans to terminate investment and production tax credits for wind and solar power by the end of 2027, emphasizing support for biofuels instead. Additionally, tariffs on steel and aluminum have increased the cost of windmills and solar panels. |
