President Trump’s Energy Policies Already Making a Difference

January 29, 2025

It has been nine days since President Trump was sworn in as our 47^th president. On his first day in office, he signed multiple executive orders to help our energy sector, including one targeting wind energy development that halted a wind project in southern Idaho. 

The Washington Free Beacon reports,

“Trump’s order marked the culmination of a years-long grassroots opposition effort that turned into a David and Goliath contest, pitting farmers, ranchers, and landowners from tiny Lincoln County, Idaho, against federal bureaucrats and LS Power, the billion-dollar New York-based green energy developer behind Lava Ridge. The behemoth project—spanning 38,535 acres and including 241 wind turbines—was poised to have detrimental impacts on grazing, farming, and local wildlife, sparking fierce opposition from locals.”

Now, residents are rejoicing, and the eco-left is pouting.  

“When I read that executive order, it was such a relief that the president took time to listen—he took the time to pay attention,” John Arkoosh, a rancher who runs cattle near the proposed location of the wind project, told the Washington Free Beacon in an interview. “I feel like we’re getting back on the right track in this country, finally.”

This is just the first of many examples of how the Trump/Vance administration’s energy policies will benefit Americans. It is refreshing to have an administration that listens to the people rather than eco-left donors.
