The White House announced that the Secretary of Commerce has submitted a report to the President, identifying imports of wind turbines and their components as a threat to U.S. national security. The report states that wind energy is an unreliable and intermittent power source, and its use shifts the U.S. electricity grid away from more dependable energy sources. Furthermore, wind energy products pose serious cybersecurity vulnerabilities that could lead to remote control and power outages; interfere with national airspace and air safety, affecting air traffic control, weather forecasting, and defense missions; and strain the U.S. electricity grid. The report also notes an increase in imports of wind turbine components over the past decade, indicating U.S. wind energy's reliance on foreign-produced components.
