US President Donald Trump has repeatedly criticized wind energy, describing it as an expensive and damaging form of power generation. He has stated that wind energy harms natural surroundings such as plains, valleys, and waterways, and causes bird fatalities. Trump also claimed that many wind turbines are manufactured in China and questioned the extent of China's wind farm development. He has expressed opposition to approving new windmill projects in the United States, referring to windmills as "money losing monstrosities" and the "biggest hoax of them all." Trump contrasted wind energy unfavorably with fossil fuels, advocating for increased North Sea oil and gas production instead. Additionally, he blamed windmills for high energy costs in the UK and described wind, solar, and battery technologies as poor investments. His administration has taken a firm stance against the expansion of wind power infrastructure within the US.
