The Trump administration's Interior Department is tightening the rules for wind and solar energy projects, arguing that renewable energy has been getting preferential treatment over oil and gas. The move introduces stricter oversight, which could slow down or complicate approvals for clean energy initiatives.

Editor’s Note: This isn't just bureaucratic fine print—it’s a shift that could tilt the playing field back toward fossil fuels. If renewable projects face more red tape, it might slow the growth of wind and solar at a time when many states and companies are pushing for cleaner energy. Critics see it as a step backward, while supporters claim it levels the regulatory field. Either way, it’s another front in the ongoing battle over America’s energy future.
