Trump Blasts Wind Energy: "We Will Not Allow a Windmill to Be Built in the United States."
President Donald Trump has reignited his criticism of wind energy, making bold claims about its economic and environmental impact during a recent public address.
"We will not allow a windmill to be built in the United States. They're killing us. They're killing the beauty of our scenery ... It's the most expensive form of energy. It's no good. They're made in China."
The remarks underscore Trumpโs long-standing opposition to wind turbines, which he argues are inefficient, costly, and damaging to U.S. landscapes.
This latest statement is part of Trumpโs broader energy message heading into 2025: revitalize American energy with oil, gas, and nuclearโwhile rejecting what he calls โfake green scams.โ
Trump also hit on the outsourcing of wind turbine manufacturing, pointing out Chinaโs dominant role in producing key wind components. His America First stance suggests a move to eliminate foreign-sourced energy tech in favor of domestic innovation and resources.
