The Trump administration has canceled the "Lava Ridge" wind farm project, which was approved by the Biden administration in its final days. The decision was made due to significant legal flaws and violations of review procedures. The ambitious project originally aimed to erect 231 wind turbines in southern Idaho, with a total installed capacity of 1,000 megawatts, spanning approximately 57,000 acres. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland had previously raised concerns about the potential hazards the project posed to rural communities. Upon taking office, Trump swiftly suspended the project and ordered a comprehensive reassessment.

Furthermore, the Idaho Attorney General argued that the wind farm compromised low-altitude flight safety and that the generated electricity would primarily benefit California rather than the local area, adding to the list of reasons for halting the project.
