Factbox-Trump's moves to dismantle the US wind and solar energy industries
(Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump has used his second term in the White House to stymie development of wind and solar energy facilities that were a cornerstone of former President Joe Biden's climate and energy agendas. On his first day in office, Trump paused new leasing and permitting of wind energy projects on federal lands and waters pending a federal review. This marked a major shift in U.S. energy policy, which under Biden had been focused on decarbonizing the U.S. electricity grid by 2035.
