Donald Trump Restrictions and Other Factors Destroying Wind Industry
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis, examines the struggles facing America’s wind energy industry. Companies are reporting significant financial losses on wind installations, and former President Donald Trump’s restrictions on federal land use for wind projects have exacerbated the problem. Additionally, structural failures in turbines and delays in building necessary grid infrastructure further hinder wind energy’s potential. McIntyre warns that wind power may not sustain its place as a key pillar of renewable energy alongside solar and nuclear.
