\u201cWe will not approve wind or farmer destroying solar,\u201d said<\/a> President Trump in an Aug. 20 post on Truth Social<\/em>.  \u201cThe days of stupidity are over in the USA!!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump\u2019s remarks came six weeks after the enactment of his One Big Beautiful Bill, which terminated tax credits for wind and solar projects by the end of 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Trump administration also issued a stop-work order for the Revolution Wind project, an industrial-scale offshore wind project 12 miles off the Rhode Island coast that was 80 percent completed.  This was followed by an Aug. 29 announcement<\/a> by the Department of Transportation that it was cutting around $679 million in federal funding for 12 offshore wind farms in 11 states, calling the projects \u201cwasteful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sending an unmistakable message to investors to avoid risking their capital on no-longer-fashionable green energy, the Department of Agriculture (USDA) is pulling the plug on a slew of funding programs for wind and solar power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur prime farmland should not be wasted and replaced with green new deal subsidized solar panels,\u201d said<\/a> Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins on a visit to Tennessee in late August. \u201cWe are no longer allowing businesses to use your taxpayer dollars to fund solar projects on prime American farmland, and we will no longer allow solar panels manufactured by foreign adversaries to be used in our USDA-funded projects.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The White House is putting the squeeze on an industry that can ill afford to lose the privileges it has enjoyed for so many years. Acknowledging the hesitancy of investors to fund green-energy projects with the looming phaseout of federal subsidies, James Holmes, CEO of Solx, a solar module manufacturer, told<\/a> The <\/em>Washington Post<\/em>, \u201cWe\u2019re seeing some paralysis in decision-making in the developer world right now.\u201d He added, \u201cThere\u2019s been a pretty significant hit to our industry, but we\u2019ll get through it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That may not be easy. According to<\/a> SolarInsure, a firm that tracks the commercial performance of the domestic solar industry, over 100 solar companies declared bankruptcy or shut down in 2024\u2014a year before the second Trump administration started turning the screws on the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As wind and solar companies confront an increasingly unfavorable commercial and political climate, green energy is also taking a hit from its global financial support network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The United Nations-backed Net Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA) \u201chas suspended activities, following the departure of numerous financial institutions from its ranks amid political pressure from the Trump administration,\u201d The Wall Street Journal<\/em> reported<\/a>.  Established in 2021, the NZBA\u2019s 120 banks in 40 countries were a formidable element in global decarbonization schemes, which included support for wind and solar power. Among the U.S. banks that headed for the exits in the aftermath of Trump\u2019s election were JPMorgan, Citi, and Morgan Stanley.  They have been joined more recently by European heavyweights HSBC, Barclays, and UBS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wind and solar power require significant upfront capital, and investors may be having second thoughts about placing their bets on what looks like a losing horse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWind and solar energy are dilute, intermittent, fragile, surface-intensive, transmission-extensive, and government-dependent,\u201d notes<\/a> Robert Bradley Jr., founder and CEO of the Institute for Energy Research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given these inherent disadvantages of wind and solar power, it\u2019s no surprise that the Department of Agriculture is throttling the flow of taxpayer money to solar projects.  The USDA\u2019s mission<\/a> is to \u201cprovide leadership on food, agriculture, natural resources, rural development, nutrition, and related issues\u2026.\u201d It is not to help prop up an industry whose best days are behind it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effective immediately, wind and solar projects will no longer be eligible for the USDA Rural Development Business and Industry (B&I) Guaranteed Loan Program. A second USDA energy-related guaranteed loan program, known by the acronym REAP, will henceforth require that wind and solar installations on farms and ranches be \u201cright-sized for their facilities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If project applications include ground-mounted solar photovoltaic systems larger than 50 kilowatts or such systems that \u201ccannot document historical energy usage,\u201d they will not be eligible for REAP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ending Misallocation of Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor too long, Washington bureaucrats and foreign adversaries have tried to dictate how we use our land and our resources,\u201d said<\/a> Republican Rep. Harriet Hageman of Wyoming.  \u201cTaxpayers should never be forced to bankroll green new deal scams that destroy our farmland and undermine our food security.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hageman\u2019s citing of \u201cforeign adversaries\u201d is a clear reference to China, which is by far the world\u2019s leading manufacturer of solar panels, according to<\/a> the International Energy Agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a USDA study<\/a> from 2024, 424,000 acres of rural land were home to wind turbines and solar arrays in 2020.  While this \u2013 outdated \u2013 figure represents less than 0.05 percent of the nearly 900 million acres of farmland in the U.S., the prospect of ever-increasing amounts of farmland being taken out of full-time food production to support part-time energy was enough to persuade the USDA that a change of course was in order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
