U.S. Faces Setback in Renewables As Wind Power Stalls
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, warns that policies from the Trump administration threaten to stall or stop U.S. wind energy expansion. He notes that wind power, which doubled in capacity from 2014 to 2023 and could supply electricity to over 39 million homes, is a vital renewable energy source. With rising electricity demand from AI data centers and air conditioning, McIntyre stresses that losing momentum in wind energy could undermine America’s renewable energy goals.
