Donald Trump has consistently opposed renewable energy since a 2009 altercation over wind turbines near his Scottish golf course. This animosity persists into his presidency, affecting climate policies by inhibiting wind and solar projects in the US, and undermining support for the renewable industry. Trump’s statements often reference aesthetic concerns regarding turbines and solar installations. On his trip to Scotland, he called for increased oil drilling and dismissal of wind energy, indicating that his dislike for renewables continues to influence energy policy and potentially harm economic growth and job creation.
Donald Trump's longstanding aversion to renewable energy found its roots in a battle against offshore wind turbines near his Scottish golf course, reflecting a broader trend of opposition.
During his presidency, Trump expanded his efforts by barring clean energy projects on federal land and enacting legislation that undermined burgeoning renewable industries.
