Trump’s Attack on Wind, Solar Cuts Deeper Than Industry Expected

Image
  August 8, 2025 Takeaways  The Trump administration has instituted permitting reviews and imposed standards that threaten US wind and solar developments, and has rescinded Biden-era decisions earmarking coastal waters for future wind turbines. The actions have contributed to the cancellation or delay of more than $22 billion worth of clean energy projects since January and the loss of thousands of jobs, according to an analysis from the E2 advocacy group. Trump administration officials say the moves are justified to ensure the US has an abundance of always-on power sources,  with Interior Secretary Doug Burgum stating that "leveling the playing field in permitting supports energy development that’s reliable, affordable and built to last ".   President Donald Trump is escalating his attacks on wind and solar power from the rhetorical to the tangible, mounting a rapid-fire campaign that exceeds the industries’ worst fears.   In just the past few weeks, the Trump ...

Trump’s Executive Order Throws Caution to the Wind (and Solar)

  Enacted in August 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act (the “IRA”) expanded energy tax credits by increasing credit amounts, broadening eligibility beyond wind and solar, and allowing credits to be developed and sold, as outlined  here . The winds have now shifted . Two years later, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) slows that momentum by  delivering a final blow to wind and solar , terminating the tech-neutral investment tax credit (“ITC”) and production tax credit (“PTC”) for projects that are not placed in service before 2028, with a safe harbor for projects that begin construction within 12 months of enactment. The OBBBA also  introduces sweeping “foreign entity of concern” limitations that could disqualify many projects from the credits entirely. The wind-down  doesn’t stop there . On July 7, Trump issued an  executive order  giving Treasury 45 days to issue new guidance on what it means to begin construction, dispelling any doubt about ...

NOAA Hired an Anti-Wind Activist as Its Top Lawyer

  The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has hired a new general counsel who was, until recently, pursuing legal challenges to offshore wind farms on behalf of the fishing industry, Heatmap has learned. NOAA’s Fisheries division , also known as the National Marine Fisheries Service, regulates species protection within U.S. waters. Activists have sought to persuade the Trump administration to review the division’s  previous and future approvals for offshore wind projects  that interact with endangered marine life, which would be a huge win for the “wind kills whales” movement. Enter Anne “Annie” Hawkins, NOAA’s new general counsel, who comes to the agency after serving for years as the executive director of the  Responsible Offshore Development Alliance , an organization founded in 2017 that has fought offshore wind projects on behalf of the fishing industry.   Hawkins stepped down as RODA’s  executive director last fall , shortly after Trump wo...
