Project
Planned

The Trump Administration issued a secretarial order that could effectively prohibit the Interior Department from issuing permits for wind and solar projects on federal lands unless they produce as much energy per acre as fossil fuels or nuclear power. This order aims to limit renewable energy development on federal lands by requiring higher capacity densities for projects.
