During his second term, U.S. President Donald Trump has taken measures that have hindered the development of wind and solar energy projects, which were key components of former President Joe Biden's climate and energy agenda. Notably, Trump withdrew a $716 million Biden-era loan for a New Jersey green energy project, impacting the wind industry. One wind energy project, fully permitted and 80% complete without federal funding, was also stopped, raising concerns about the potential chilling effect on private equity investment in U.S. infrastructure. Trump's administration has also delayed a key uranium report and suspended an annual solar analysis amid staff cuts at the government’s energy statistics agency. Additionally, cuts to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Parks staffing have been reported, causing operational delays and affecting conservation efforts. While some offshore wind opponents initially supported Trump, they now express feelings of being left behind. Meanwhile, the administration has finalized a rule creating 42 new hunting and fishing opportunities across more than 87,000 acres in the National Wildlife Refuge and Fish Hatchery Systems. Land and water conservation projects remain in limbo according to outdoor advocates.
