[quote=Anonymous][quote] President Donald Trump said his administration will not approve solar and wind projects.
Renewable executives say blocking solar and wind projects will worsen a power supply shortage, harming the grid and leading to higher prices.
The industry is facing difficulty getting permits, rising costs due to tariffs and the end of key tax credits.
President Donald Trump’s attack on solar and wind projects threatens to raise energy prices for consumers and undermine a stretched electric grid that’s already straining to meet rapidly growing demand, renewable energy executives warn.

Trump has long said wind power turbines are unattractive and endanger birds, and that solar installations take up too much land. This week, he said his administration will not approve solar and wind projects, the latest salvo in a campaign the president has waged against the renewable energy industry since taking office.

“We will not approve wind or farmer destroying Solar,” Trump posted on Truth Social Wednesday. “The days of stupidity are over in the USA!!!”

Why do we have to pay higher prices? This is idiotic. Without solar, wind and batteries everyone’s electricity bill will double…well except for the data centers. They will pay 50% less because of bribes and pay out to republicans. [/quote]
