President Donald Trump signed an executive order on July 7, 2025, directing the termination of federal subsidies for energy sources controlled by foreign entities. The order specifically targets subsidies for wind and solar energy, citing concerns over national security, grid sustainability, and reliance on foreign adversaries. It aims to end market-distorting subsidies for these renewable energy sources, which are described as expensive and unreliable. The executive order instructs the Treasury Department to strictly enforce the termination of tax credits for wind and solar projects, including tightening rules that restrict projects from locking in incentives unless substantial construction is completed. This move follows a broader $3.4 trillion budget bill that sought to eliminate green energy subsidies. The directive also seeks to remove regulations that prioritize wind and solar over other energy sources, signaling a shift in federal energy policy away from renewables.
