Description
Description | The Trump administration has stopped all approvals on wind farms across the United States. The Department of Defense, under Pete Hegseth, ceased responding to wind farm project applications, citing a reevaluation of how it reviews national security impacts. This has left between 165 and 250 large wind projects in limbo, affecting their financing and eligibility for tax credits under the Biden Inflation Reduction Act. The blockage is seen as a move to increase demand for fossil fuels and serves political and personal interests. |
