The Trump administration is moving to add fresh obstacles to wind and solar development on millions of acres of federal land, according to an Interior Department memo released late Friday.
What Happened: As detailed in a report by The Hill, the directive brands large-scale renewables as "highly inefficient uses of Federal lands" and says officials will permit only projects that represent "the most appropriate land use when compared to a reasonable range of project alternatives," with a follow-up report outlining further actions due within 45 days.
