The Department of the Interior recently announced the proposed rescission of a rule governing solar and wind energy development on public lands.
The proposed rescission of the Bureau of Land Management’s clean energy regulation "marks a significant policy shift, aimed at removing what officials describe as federal overreach and opening the door to expanded land use and energy independence," it said.
"The move would eliminate rate reductions that biased renewable energy development over other energy sources, while still allowing renewables to play a part in achieving American Energy Dominance," Interior said.
The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs will review the proposed rule rescission. Once that review is complete, the proposed rule rescission will be published in the Federal Register for public comment.
