Texas wind projects hit by national-security review slowdown

The U.S. Defense Department has paused routine federal permits for 54 Texas wind projects amid national-security reviews, part of a nationwide backlog that currently affects about 165 onshore wind developments. The interagency process, involving the FAA and DoD, has slowed to a crawl, delaying financing, local permitting, and construction while officials say reviews are necessary to prevent interference with military operations; critics argue the hold is slowing renewable energy during an affordability crisis.

Self-Healing Material Could Extend Planes, Cars and Turbines Lifespans to Centuries

U.S. engineers developed a fiber-reinforced polymer composite that self-heals internal damage by printing a EMAA healing interlayer and embedding thin carbon heater layers. When damage occurs, electricity warms the EMAA, melts it, and it flows into cracks to re-bond the interface, enabling over 1,000 consecutive heal cycles in lab tests and potentially extending component lifespans from decades to centuries for aircraft, cars, and wind turbines, though real-world testing and certification remain necessary.

How Trump’s Policies Have Stalled the U.S. Economy

The article discusses how Donald Trump's decision to halt a Rhode Island wind farm project, Revolution Wind, reflects his opposition to renewable energy, which contradicts his claims of promoting energy independence and economic strength. This decision not only risks wasting significant investments and jobs but also undermines the future of clean energy and broader economic stability, highlighting the self-destructive nature of his policies.

Trump Criticizes Renewable Energy Initiatives Amid Industry Declines

President Donald Trump falsely claimed that windmills in New Jersey are responsible for rising energy prices, but the state's offshore wind projects have not been built and wind energy contributes minimally to its electricity supply. The increase in energy costs is due to other factors, and recent developments include canceled wind projects and increased energy bills amid a hot summer.
