European reporters were bewildered when during a meeting with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen Trump abruptly took a left turn from immigration to ranting about wind turbines.
‘And the other thing I say to Europe: We will not allow a windmill to be built in the United States,” Trump said. “They’re killing us.”
“They’re killing the beauty of our scenery, our valleys, our beautiful plains ― and 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. It’s the most expensive form of energy. It’s no good. They’re made in China, almost all of them.”
One headline screamed, ‘Total Mental Collapse,’; while another labeled Trump ‘Insane.’
Besides the fact that most of what the president had to say was stunningly inaccurate, Germany gets a quarter of its energy from wind; it’s one of the cheapest forms of energy and they’re not all made in China.
