Fox News has highlighted President Donald Trump’s renewed criticism of wind energy, following remarks in which he sharply attacked windmills and the countries that manufacture them.
Speaking in his trademark blunt style, Trump dismissed wind turbines as “losers,” arguing that they damage the environment, harm wildlife, and undermine national interests.
According to Trump, windmills are spread “all over the place,” yet deliver little benefit compared to their cost.
He repeated a long-standing claim that wind turbines kill birds and ruin natural landscapes, an argument he has used frequently against large-scale renewable energy projects.
While critics have challenged the accuracy of some of these assertions, Trump continues to frame wind energy as both environmentally and economically destructive.
Trump took aim at China, accusing it of exploiting the global wind energy market. He claimed that China manufactures wind turbines and sells them “for a fortune” to other countries while allegedly avoiding widespread use of the technology at home.
In his view, this dynamic allows China to profit while others bear the environmental and financial costs.
“They’re shocked that people continue to buy those damn things,” Trump said, portraying wind energy adoption as a foolish decision made by naïve buyers.
The comments reflect Trump’s broader skepticism toward renewable energy and his strong preference for traditional energy sources such as oil, gas, and coal.
Trump’s remarks underscore the deep divide between supporters of aggressive renewable energy expansion and those who view such technologies as costly, ineffective, and driven by foreign interests rather than national benefit.
Fox News’ coverage of the remarks has reignited debate over the future of wind energy in the United States and the role political leadership plays in shaping public opinion on climate and energy policy.
