The U.S. Department of Interior has permitted more than 25 GW of clean energy, including solar, wind and geothermal projects, surpassing this goal ahead of its timeline to do so by next year.
“Since Day One, the Biden-Harris administration has worked tirelessly to expand responsible clean energy development to address climate change, enhance America’s energy security and create good-paying union jobs,” says Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland.
“Surpassing our goal of permitting 25 GW of clean energy by 2025 underscores the significant progress we have made in helping build modern, resilient climate infrastructure that protects our communities from the worsening impacts of climate change. The Interior Department will continue to advance projects that will add enough clean energy to the grid to power millions more homes and help ensure a livable planet for future generations.”
The Department today also announced a final Renewable Energy rule from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) that aims to lower consumer energy costs and the cost of developing solar and wind projects, improve renewable energy project application processes and incentivize developers to continue responsibly developing solar and wind projects on public lands. The final rule also includes additional incentives for use of project labor agreements and American-made materials.
In addition, the BLM announced that two solar projects in California, the Arica and Victory Pass projects, are now fully operational, adding 465 MW of clean electricity to the grid. These projects, the first two approved under the Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan, are located in eastern Riverside County.

What Noam Chomsky says here is spot on, especially with respect to Trump.
What makes Trump so good at this is his facility to invent a new boogieman every couple of days. Communism, Dr. Fauci, Venezuela’s drug boats, Iran, birthright citizenship, democrats, the damage done by previous presidents, the climate hoax, the Kennedy Center, the arch, the vandals at the Reflecting Pool, Black Lives Matter, Antifa, liberals in education, the Hollywood elite, unsafe vaccinations, trans people, a nuclearized Iran, massive voter fraud, Haitians eating our pets, Harvard, the ex-Fed Chairman, NATO, wind turbines, the far-left radicals, the election control people, the list goes on.
Then there are the near-daily outrages:
Turning Gaza into a luxury resort, annexing Greenland, curtailing environmental emission standards, usurping the Panama Canal, refusing to pay E. Jean Carroll, pardoning hundreds of violent convicted felons, accepting bribes for pardoning white collar fraudsters, insider trading, orchestrating deals that benefit his children, targeting Jack Smith, protecting ICE agents who commit murder/manslaughter, and leasing federal wilderness land for oil exploration
The more indefensible the better.
Is her point that there are countries that are even more repressive to women’s rights?
Does anyone disagree with that?
The words at left may seem obvious to you and me but realize that we live among tens of millions of people who are completely desperate to cling onto their beliefs that Trump is an honest and effective servant of the American people, however contrary to the evidence this may be.
