Renewable energy groups have filed a lawsuit against the Pentagon over stalled national security reviews for wind farms, threatening billions in investments and jobs. - The lawsuit alleges the Pentagon halted reviews in August 2025, freezing 106 wind projects.
- Affected projects represent over $47 billion in investments and 120,000 jobs across 21 states. - The Pentagon says it balances energy needs with military requirements, but plaintiffs call the delays an existential threat.
- The first quarter of 2026 saw the slowest start for new wind installations since 2018. The court is asked to order the Pentagon to resume normal reviews.
