Trump indicates that his campaign against wind power has boundaries

US President Donald Trump has suggested that there are boundaries in his campaign to stop wind power, even if his administration is moving to stop the installation of turbines in agricultural land and coastal waters. “We do not allow any windmills to go up unless there is a legitimate situation where someone has been committed to it long ago,” Trump said Tuesday at a White House meeting with Cabinet officials. Trump’s remark underlines a possible distinction in the administration’s approach to federal allowed wind projects, with more investigation – and risk – on businesses that have relatively recent authorizations. Trump has a deep, prolonged dislike of wind farms that he mocked as ugly, bird death monstrosities. But over the past few weeks, its administration has moved more aggressively to limit their construction, including blocking projects to obtain rural developmental loans, stop the construction of an almost completed orsted A/S business near Rhode Island and to make the permit for another planned project near Maryland. The administration focused on the foreign wind projects where it has unique power; The businesses are planned in the federal waters run by the domestic department and are dependent on a number of US government authorities. Under former President Joe Biden, the US approved 11 of them. Trump repeated his opposition to Wind Power on Tuesday while mocking solar arrangements, which he described as “large ugly spots of black plastic coming from China” and that the agricultural land is getting married. He did not elaborate on what types of wind obligations of the government would be too old to justify changes now. But in May, the Trump administration lifted an earlier stopping order that suspended the construction of the Empire Wind 1 project for weeks. The Department of Home Affairs issued a similar stop-work order on Friday to the Orsted A/S Revolution Wind Project of Rhode Island, which requested that New England’s network operator warn the Hott to threaten electric reliability and increase consumption costs in the region. While the stopwork orders focus on continued construction, the Trump administration’s separate planned move against an American wind project near Maryland poses a much greater threat to the $ 6 billion business because it would invalidate an important federal permit. Doug Burgum, Secretary of Home Affairs, previously said that across considerations make it difficult to stop some planned wind projects. And he proposed a dual approach to the government’s review, with existing projects being treated differently than those proposed. © 2025 Bloomberg MP This article was generated from an automatic news agency feed without edits to text.
