Trump wrote last night (Beijing time on the evening of August 20): "States that rely on wind turbines and solar power are experiencing record increases in electricity and energy costs.
This is the biggest scam of this century! We will not approve wind or solar energy that destroys farmland.
The silly era in America has ended!!! Make America great again."
[Clever] Comment: Trump's remarks fully demonstrate his short-sightedness and stubbornness. A president who clings to traditional energy naturally looks down on clean energy; someone who views global warming as a pseudoscientific hoax would never take low-carbon environmental protection and new energy seriously. He blames the increase in electricity costs on wind and solar energy, yet ignores the environmental costs and long-term risks brought by traditional energy. Not approving wind and solar energy projects is merely an excuse to protect farmland, but in reality, it hinders energy transition and stifles development opportunities. The so-called "Make America great again" is nothing more than the ramblings of clinging to the old ways and refusing progress. Such an America will only go against the tide of the times, how can it be great?
