Pentagon reviews are blocking wind farms, putting jobs at risk, lawsuit says
Renewable energy groups are suing the U.S. military over stalled national security reviews for wind farms, claiming the delays threaten $47 billion in investments and thousands of jobs. The Pentagon says it must balance energy projects with military needs, but plaintiffs argue the inaction halts new wind energy development. Trump's policies and a federal judge's recent ruling on wind leasing are also cited in the dispute.
