Trump slams U.K. North Sea energy policy, says 'get rid of windmills'

^{Published on 2025-01-05 12:00:52 - MSN}

President-elect Trump said Friday the U.K. is making "a very big mistake" in its energy policy, and the country should "open up the North Sea" for oil and gas exploration and "get rid of" wind farms.

In an article from MSN, former U.S. President Donald Trump criticized the United Kingdom's energy policy, particularly its focus on wind energy. Trump, speaking at a rally in Iowa, described wind turbines as "horrible" and suggested that the UK should abandon its wind energy initiatives in favor of more traditional energy sources like oil and gas. He argued that windmills are not only an eyesore but also unreliable, claiming they do not work when there's no wind. Trump's comments align with his broader skepticism towards renewable energy, advocating instead for the exploitation of North Sea oil and gas reserves to bolster energy security and economic benefits.
