Former President Joe Biden’s “whole-of-government” embrace of climate action has turned into a wholesale attack on clean energy — with a growing number of agencies joining in.
Biden threaded his climate policy into the work of each government agency. And that kicked into higher gear after congressional Democrats opened federal coffers for clean energy developers through the Inflation Reduction Act.
Now, President Donald Trump is using the same overarching strategy to target the wind, solar and battery industries, making it the task of every agency to eliminate or redirect programs that benefit renewables.
“We will not approve wind or farmer destroying Solar,” Trump wrote last Wednesday on Truth Social. “The days of stupidity are over in the USA!!!”
