The Department of the Interior (DOI) announced a proposal to rescind the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) rule governing solar and wind energy development on public lands.
“Eliminating the Biden administration’s preferential treatment of unaffordable, unreliable ‘intermittent’ projects and dismantling excessive, one-sided restrictions on traditional energy sources like oil, gas, and critical minerals, will unlock the full potential of America’s natural resources,” said Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum.
DOI said the move would eliminate rate reductions that “biased renewable energy development over other energy sources.” The proposal aligns with President Donald Trump’s Unleashing American Energy executive order.
