Donald Trump Launches Fresh Attack on Windmills

President Donald Trump, a frequent critic of windmills, claimed in a post on Truth Social that the renewable energy source increases the cost of energy and is killing birds and the "bad" politicians who support it.

Why It Matters

Trump has long been an opponent of wind turbines. He campaigned on expanding fossil fuels for American energy and paused federal wind permits while ending tax credits that had supported renewable developments in the U.S.

What To Know

"Amazing phenomenon — Any Country that relies on Windmills is DEAD," Trump wrote on Truth Social on Sunday afternoon. "Their Energy Costs have gone through the roof, and their populations are angry. Windmills aren't only killing the birds, they're 'killing' lots of bad politicians who are losing their jobs because of them!"
