President-elect Donald Trump has expressed his opposition to new wind energy projects, citing economic impracticality and concerns about marine life. Trump stated that wind energy is significantly more expensive than natural gas and criticized the subsidies provided by the federal government for windmill production.
Trump highlighted potential harm to marine life, specifically referencing an increase in whale deaths in Massachusetts that he attributed to wind turbines. However, the National Marine Fisheries Service has stated that there is currently no evidence linking wind turbines to whale deaths.
