UK Telegraph excerpt:
Donald Trump has halted wind farm projects across the US, suggesting they are a threat to national security and the environment.
More than 150 projects are understood to be on hold amid suggestions that they interfere with defence radar systems.
It marks the latest crackdown on wind power by the Trump administration, with the president branding it a “con job” and criticising turbines for ruining the landscape.
Approvals for 165 projects are being withheld by the Defence Department, according to the Financial Times, including some that were awaiting final sign-off and others that are deemed too far from any radar to be problematic.
In March, the US news website Axios reported that 30 US wind farm projects were on hold as the Trump administration refused to sign off on military approvals. It cited Jason Grumet, head of the American Clean Power Association, accusing Mr Trump’s officials of “direct obstruction”.
