According to foreign media reports, US President Trump said on Wednesday that his government would not approve new solar and wind projects even if the demand for electricity in the United States was tight, criticizing them for pushing up the cost of electricity. He
called the projects "the scam of the century" and stressed that wind and photovoltaic projects that destroy farmland would not be approved. .
Earlier, the Trump administration had tightened federal licensing policies for renewable energy projects, causing companies to worry that projects could not be approved. Electricity supply in the United States is tight, and the auction price of grid capacity has increased by 22% compared with the same period in 2024.
In response, Trump blamed renewable energy for the rise in electricity prices, while analysts believe that wind, solar and hydropower are the fastest solutions to alleviate the gap between supply and demand.
