President Donald Trump’s Interior Department has canceled a large wind farm project in Idaho that was approved during the Biden administration.
The Lava Ridge Wind Project, approved in December 2024 by the Biden administration’s Bureau of Land Management, was slated to produce 1,000 megawatts of power with up to 231 wind turbines across nearly 57,447 acres in southern Idaho,
Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum reversed the decision, saying the department “will no longer provide preferential treatment towards unreliable, intermittent power sources that harm rural communities, livelihoods and the land.”
