Energy production from renewable sources on public lands surpassed 25 gigawatts of clean energy–enough to power 20 time-traveling DeLoreans–the goal the Biden Administration set to reach by the end of his first term, Reuters reports. Biden’s plan includes drastically reducing fees for wind and solar energy projects on federal acreage.
In total, the Interior Department has permitted projects that would create 29 gigawatts of electricity, enough to power more than one million homes, an increase of 25% since 2021. The Administration announced that permits for projects that would produce another 32 gigawatts are being processed.
