Biden’s Last Minute ‘Green’ Project Cancelled in Idaho [WATCH]

The Department of the Interior announced Wednesday that it is moving to terminate the Lava Ridge Wind Project in southern Idaho, reversing an approval made by the Biden-Harris administration in December 2024.

The agency cited legal deficiencies in the project’s authorization and pointed to widespread opposition from Idaho residents, many of whom raised concerns about the project’s proximity to a World War II memorial site.

The Lava Ridge Wind Project was slated to include up to 231 wind turbines spread across nearly 60,000 acres of land.

The Biden-Harris administration’s approval of the project came during its final weeks and was met with criticism from lawmakers, local officials, and residents concerned about its impact on the Minidoka National Historic Site.

“Under President Donald Trump’s bold leadership, the Department is putting the brakes on deficient, unreliable energy and putting the American people first,” said Interior Secretary Doug Burgum in a statement.

“By reversing the Biden administration’s thoughtless approval of the Lava Ridge Wind Project, we are protecting tens of thousands of acres from harmful wind policy while shielding the interests of rural Idaho communities. This decisive action defends the American taxpayer, safeguards our land, and averts what would have been one of the largest, most irresponsible wind projects in the nation.”

The Minidoka site is a preserved location where Japanese-Americans were incarcerated during World War II. Concerns were raised that the proposed wind project would interfere with the integrity and preservation of the memorial.

Following public backlash, the Biden-Harris administration had proposed scaling back the size of the project and relocating some turbines further from the memorial site, but those changes were not enough to quell local opposition.

The Interior Department’s decision follows a review initiated on President Donald Trump’s first day back in office.

The department determined that the original approval process failed to meet required legal standards and did not sufficiently consider statutory obligations related to historic preservation and community input.

In its announcement, the agency emphasized that “unique statutory criteria” had been disregarded during the Biden-Harris administration’s approval process.

The department also indicated that it is reevaluating the federal government’s approach to wind energy development on public lands, particularly projects that could pose risks to cultural landmarks and local ecosystems.

The Lava Ridge termination is part of a broader shift by the Trump administration away from renewable energy projects that had received favorable treatment under Joe Biden.

On July 29, the Interior Department announced it would halt what it described as “preferential treatment” for wind and solar developments.

On August 1, the department introduced a new permitting framework designed to increase scrutiny of green energy projects on federal lands.

Secretary Burgum, who has been vocal about the environmental impact of wind farms, stated on X in late July that such projects “are known to kill eagles.”

He has also advanced efforts to reduce regulatory barriers for coal and other traditional energy sources.

The department noted that while it is reviewing existing leasing and permitting practices for wind energy, future decisions will place greater weight on how such projects affect surrounding communities and national resources.
