Trump calls to 'stop the windmills' amid energy crunch

President Donald Trump on Tuesday called for ending windmill operations, asserting they would not be able to provide enough electricity for U.S. needs and were not cost-effective.

"STUPID AND UGLY WINDMILLS ARE KILLING NEW JERSEY. Energy prices up 28% this year, and not enough electricity to take care of state. STOP THE WINDMILLS" he posted on Truth Social. 

Trump, last month, called windmills a "con job" and insisted he would oppose their construction. 

“The other thing I say to Europe, we will not allow a windmill to be built in the United States," he said last month. "They’re killing us. They’re killing the beauty of our scenery, our valleys, our beautiful plains. It’s the most expensive form of energy. It’s no good. They’re made in China, almost all of them."
