As Trump Pushes Energy Dominance, States Battle Local Opposition To Wind And Solar
by Kevin Killough  Feb 12, 2025

President Donald Trump last month froze billions of dollars the Biden-Harris administration was pouring out to renewable energy projects. [emphasis, links added]

Despite the widespread claim that wind and solar power are the cheapest forms of energy, the legacy media screamed that the funding freeze put renewable energy development in jeopardy.


While a federal judge temporarily blocked the order before the Trump administration rescinded it, some reports such as the one in the New York Times argued that Republican districts will be hit the hardest by Trump’s move.

This is based on data from the “Clean Economy Tracker,” which shows most of the money pouring into rural districts.

My Governor Abbott is unfortunately fighting particularly hard to keep the wind industry alive in Texas.
