💨 Abstract

**Washington Post**: The Trump Administration is obstructing the expansion of wind and solar power, crucial for meeting the U.S.'s growing electricity demand, particularly for data centers powering AI. The recent cancellation of a $4.9 billion loan guarantee for the Grain Belt Express, a major transmission project, highlights this issue. The administration's opposition to renewable energy stifles grid expansion and hampers the use of natural wind resources.
