Trump says he ‘will not approve wind turbines’ despite support for permitting reform bill
Trump said the measure would speed pipelines, mines and power plants while lowering energy costs and creating high-paying American jobs.
- President Donald Trump endorsed the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act on Sunday, urging the Senate to vote in favor ahead of Monday's procedural vote on the permitting reform measure.
- A bipartisan group of Senators introduced the bill to overhaul federal environmental regulations, aiming to modernize power grids and build Pipelines, Mines, and Power Plants faster than ever before.
- Critics including the Center for Biological Diversity argue the bill hands Trump "virtually unlimited power" to entrench fossil fuels and enrich data center operators during his remaining presidency.
- Trump said he was 100 percent behind the bill but refused to approve wind turbine provisions, stating "wind turbines are a major loser" after the reporter noted their inclusion.
- The legislation faces hurdles in the two remaining months Congress is in session, though some progressive Democrats say they will negotiate for a better deal next year.
