January 21, 2025/

“States voting for President Trump are eight of the top ten states in terms of reliance on wind power with many depending on wind for a significant share of their electricity use. Restricting wind development in these regions is certain to increase consumer energy bills,” said American Clean Power Association CEO Jason Grumet in a statement.
