America's biggest wind farm is about to flip the switch as Trump administration's pressure freezes the next wave
A wind power project described as the "largest clean energy installation" in the United States appears nearly ready to come online, marking a major milestone at a moment when many other large renewable projects are stuck in limbo, according to Bloomberg.

SunZia is set to deliver 3.5 gigawatts of electricity, enough to supply about 1 million homes each year. The project also includes a 550-mile transmission line set to move electricity into Arizona, helping connect wind power generated in one state to communities that need it in another.
After years of work, the long-awaited finish line comes as the pipeline for other large renewable projects appears to be stalled.
The Trump administration has been cutting off federal tax incentives and slowing permitting for renewables, according to Bloomberg. A recent Wood Mackenzie report cited by the news outlet also found that around 5,000 turbines are still waiting for final federal approval.

Trump knows he's dying and wants to take the next generation with him.
