  4. "The Trump administration has brought US onshore wind development to a halt citing national security concerns, representing a major escalation in the president’s crusade against renewable energy.

    Approvals for about 165 onshore wind projects on private lands are being stalled by the Department of Defense, including wind farms that were awaiting final sign-off, others in the middle of negotiations, and some that typically would not require oversight by the department, according to the American Clean Power Association (ACP) and people close to the matter.

    Wind farms require routine approval from the Defense Department to ensure they do not interfere with radar systems. This typically involves the level of risk being assessed and the developer paying an agreed sum for the army to update its radar filter system so it can locate the windmill. Some projects can be deemed not to pose a risk due to their distance from army facilities and flight paths. Normally these assessments can take as little as a few days to complete.

    Since August 2025, developers have faced a mix of setbacks, including not receiving expected communications from DoD, having meetings to discuss the status of their projects canceled without the opportunity to reschedule, and being informed that the department has stopped processing their applications, according to people with knowledge of the situation.

    The affected projects include 35 that had completed negotiations and are awaiting sign-off from the DoD—first reported by Axios in March."

  7. Trump Administration Will Pay More Energy Firms to Cancel #WindFarms
    Companies will invest in #oil and #gas projects, echoing an earlier deal with the French energy giant #TotalEnergies.
    Forfeit leases in federal waters for two wind farms, one to be built off New York and New Jersey and the other off California. The government will reimburse the companies a combined $885 million, the amount they paid for the leases under the Biden administration.

  11. New selling point for wind farms : reduce erosion (once we get better models telling us where to put them) by reducing wind and storm surge. Read: keep your oceanfront property safe on someone else's dime, you east coast old money families.

    "North Sea wind farms may be reshaping sediment flows by 1.5 million tons a year" phys.org/news/2026-03-north-se #WindFarms

  12. The reasoning given by the Trump administration for shutting down #windfarms was due to concerns about interrupting military radar and sonar. But now offshore wind farms can be integrated into national defense programs, boosting sensing technologies. spectrum.ieee.org/offshore-win...

    👍 It makes me angry when RW choads who don't understand #Climate science mock things like "107' in March" as "not proof of anything".

    Corporations/CEOs with a financial stake in NOT doing anything about #ClimateChange have done a masterful job of getting imbecilic CC deniers like "Drill Baby, drill" ranting #Coal clowns like #DisasterDon elected, while #China dominates the grown #GreenTech Industry. #EVs #MagLev trains. #WindFarms #SolarPanels.
