Trump criticized wind turbines as "garbage" today (June 22nd in Beijing time) and mentioned China again.

Trump wrote today: "I hate the 'green tax credit' in that grand, magnificent, and beautiful bill. They are basically a huge scam. I would rather see this money used elsewhere, including tax cuts. Anywhere is better! Wind turbines and all these 'garbage' are the most expensive and least efficient energy sources in the world, destroying the beauty of the environment, and costing ten times more than any other energy source. These energies cannot function without massive government subsidies (energy should not need subsidies at all!). Moreover, almost all of these energies are manufactured in China! It's time to get rid of this madness completely!"

[Witty Comment]: In fact, the subsidy is just Trump's excuse. Trump has provided quite a few subsidies to attract manufacturing back. In reality, traditional energy sources always occupy an important position in Trump's heart. He seems to prefer those energy models that once drove the U.S. economy to take off, rather than emerging, still developing low-carbon environmental protection industries. For the currently hotly discussed global low-carbon environmental protection concepts and issues such as controlling greenhouse gas emissions, Trump seems to lack interest. In his view, these so-called "green narratives" may be overly idealistic and might even affect the vested interests of the U.S. traditional energy industry. He cares more about how to maintain the existing economic structure rather than cater to those environmental demands that he considers perhaps not so urgent. This stance has caused much controversy but also reflects his preferences in energy policy.
