The opposite. Trump just halted all federal approvals for wind farms, for example: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/21/climate/wind-power-execut....

No, he didn't. Both links have zero mentions of solar or wind, and very specifically define their terms thus:

"a) The term “energy” or “energy resources” means crude oil, natural gas, lease condensates, natural gas liquids, refined petroleum products, uranium, coal, biofuels, geothermal heat, the kinetic movement of flowing water, and critical minerals, as defined by 30 U.S.C. 1606 (a)(3)."

This is Trump accepting bribes from the legacy and fossil fuel industries to keep those "nasty" new clean energy sources from competing with them.
