In his Wednesday remarks at Davos, Trump once again showcased his bitter dislike of wind energy.
He said:
The US president claimed that “China makes almost all of the windmills, and yet I haven’t been able to find any wind farms in China.”
“China’s very smart: They make them, they sell them for a fortune,” he said. “They sell them to the stupid people that buy them, but they don’t use them themselves.”
The “couple of big wind farms” that China does have are not in use, Trump claimed.
“They just put them up to show people what they could look like, but they don’t spin, they don’t do anything,” he said, adding that for energy, “mostly China goes with the coal, they go with oil and gas, they’re starting to look at nuclear a little bit, and they’re doing just fine.”
He went on to say China is “shocked that people continue to buy those damn things.”
“They killed the birds, they ruined your landscapes,” he said. “Other than that, I think they’re fabulous, by the way. Stupid people buy them.”
Fact check, it shows what a lying tangerine twat he is:-
China has more wind capacity than any other country in the world and has twice as much capacity under construction than the rest of the world combined.
China’s wind generation in 2024 equaled 40 percent of global wind generation, according to a 2025 report from think tank Ember Energy. It is also building 180 gigawatts of large solar projects and 159 gigawatts of large wind projects, which together amount to nearly two-thirds of the capacity coming online worldwide, an analysis from Global Energy Monitor says.
