President Donald Trump signed an executive order on July 7 directing his administration to end federal subsidies for solar and wind energy facilities, citing their unreliability and dependence on foreign-controlled supply chains.
In his order, Trump stated that these types of renewable energy sources are expensive, compromise the nation’s electric grid, and threaten national security.
