Trump administration cites national security to halt US wind farm projects, FT reports
Source: Reuters
May 3 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's administration has brought U.S. onshore wind development to a halt, citing national security concerns, the Financial Times reported on Sunday.
Approvals for about 165 onshore wind projects on private lands are being held up by the Pentagon, FT said, citing the American Clean Power Association and people close to the matter.
The affected projects include wind farms that were awaiting final sign-off, others in the middle of negotiations and some that typically would not require oversight by the Pentagon, the FT said.
Reuters could not immediately verify the report.
The American Clean Power Association and Pentagon did not immediately respond to requests for comment by Reuters.

EVERY dem who runs for office must be forceful in their support of alt energies or they don't get my vote. Any candidate not supporting green/alt energy speaks volumes that they are a closet fossil fuel supporter and don't care or understand how the environment and the World will improve by breaking the hold the oldigarchs have on our lives through fossil fuels.

Seems like the conservative courts wouldn't allow this especially on private land.
