Tyrant Trump signs executive order pausing wind turbine leases
The executive order he signed Monday temporarily halts offshore wind energy lease sales in federal waters and pauses approvals, permits and loans for both offshore and onshore wind.
During the pause, officials will review the environmental impact of both onshore and offshore wind projects on wildlife and consider the "economic costs associated with intermittent generation" and the effects of subsidies on the viability of the wind energy industry, according to the executive order.
A backlash against wind and solar power at the county level, often for aesthetic reasons, has meant that in 2023 a full 15% of U.S. counties had banned or blocked new, utility-scale wind or solar installations, a USA TODAY investigation found last year.
