Trump administration halts wind farm projects in Illinois and nationwide
By
Charlie Schlenker
Summary
The Trump administration has effectively imposed a moratorium on new wind farm projects across the United States, halting billions of dollars in renewable energy development in Illinois and nationwide. Multiple wind farm projects in McLean, Peoria, and Tazewell counties in Illinois are on hold. President Trump has publicly expressed strong opposition to wind energy, comparing wind turbines to litter and garbage. Renewable energy advocates report that the administration's actions amount to a de facto ban on new wind farm approvals.
