Trump’s key wind energy comments during Scotland trip July 27, 2025:
“And the other thing I say to Europe: We will will not allow a windmill to be built in the United States, they’re killing us,” Trump said. “They’re killing the beauty of our scenery, our valleys, our beautiful plains—I’m not talking about airplanes, I’m talking about beautiful plains.”
“Beautiful areas in the United States, and you look up and you see windmills all over the place. It’s a horrible thing,” he added.
“The whole thing is a con job,” he continued, before revisiting one of his favorite theories—that the noise from offshore windmills are killing whales.
“It’s driving [whales] loco, it’s driving them crazy,” the 79-year-old president said, citing rising whale fatalities in Massachusetts, which some have speculated could be linked to newly built wind farms.
Trump said that windmills start to “rust and rot in eight years. You can’t really turn them off, you can’t bury them. They won’t let you bury the propellers.”
“You have a certain place in the Massachusetts area that over the last 20 years had one or two whales wash ashore,” Trump said. “And over the last short period of time, they had 18. OK? Because it’s driving them loco. No, windmills will not happen in the United States.”
Trump also summed up ‘environmentalists’: “The environmentalists are not really environmentalists; they are political hacks. These are people, they almost want to harm the country.”

Why Wind and Solar Make Our Power Grid Less Reliable: Excerpt: “Just to produce one turbine, we have to extract 900 tons of steel, 2,500 tons of concrete, and 45 tons of non-renewable plastic. Then we’ve got to transport that and burn fuel, getting it all carried across the world and put up. And none of these things that go into a turbine are renewable.”

There is NO “progress on climate.” Today we get more than 80% of our energy from fossil fuels – which is about exactly where we were five years ago – despite the hundreds of billions spent. …
In 2023 the world burned more fossil fuels than at any other time in history. Here are the facts:
Global energy-related CO2 emissions increased by 1.7%, driven by China and India.
Fossil fuel consumption in 2023 reached a record high, rising by 1.5% to 505 exajoules.
China is by far the world’s largest consumer of primary energy, burning 34% of world consumption 170.7.
Almost no country is meeting their UN anti-fossil fuel targets.
