The Trump administration is slowing reviews of onshore wind projects through the Pentagon and FAA, citing national security risks to military operations. The American Clean Power Association reported that 165 land-based wind projects have experienced extended review timelines, with some exceeding six months compared to historically faster approval periods. The administration has also moved to cancel offshore wind projects, drawing criticism from both environmental groups and some Republican officials.
