The Trump administration on Wednesday canceled a major wind farm development in Idaho, a project approved late in former President Joe Biden's term that had drawn criticism for its proximity to a historic site where Japanese Americans were incarcerated during World War II.

The Trump administration is canceling its approval for what would have been one of the largest wind farms in the United States, marking an escalation in President Donald Trump’s crackdown on the renewable energy industry.

The US Department of the Interior (DOI) has withdrawn its support for the 1,000MW Lava Ridge wind project in southern Idaho, US. This move aligns with efforts to re-evaluate energy projects that may adversely affect rural communities and natural landscapes.
