The case against windmills is airtight, and President Donald Trump's bold stance, as reported by Breitbart on June 13, 2025, nails it: wind turbines are a "bulls**t" scam, a grotesque blight on our beautiful plains, and an environmental and economic disaster foisted on us by delusional Greens. These towering monstrosities, propped up by taxpayer dollars and eco-fanatic ideology, are not the future of energy, they're a wrecking ball to the West's landscapes, wildlife, and energy independence. As your advocates against this green tyranny, we'll dismantle the windmill myth, exposing its crippling insecurities, devastating environmental costs, and the lies of the environmentalist elite who ignore the wreckage in their blind worship of "clean energy."
Let's start with the cold, hard truth: windmills are a financial black hole. Trump's right, they don't work without "massive government subsidies," bleeding taxpayers dry to keep these inefficient giants spinning. The US Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, a green fantasy cooked up by Biden's cronies, funnelled billions in tax credits to wind developers, inflating a bubble that's now bursting. X posts from real Americans call it what it is: a "Green New Scam" that lines corporate pockets while delivering peanuts, only 10% of U.S. electricity in 2023, per the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Compare that to natural gas, powering 40% of the grid reliably, without begging for handouts.
Wind's insecurity is undeniable. These turbines only generate power when the wind blows, leaving the grid at the mercy of weather. X users point out that backup gas plants run "90% of the time" to cover wind's unreliability, maybe an exaggeration, but studies confirm gas plants operate 50-70% capacity to prop up renewables. That's not energy independence; it's a rigged system where fossil fuels do the heavy lifting while windmills take the credit. Trump's January 20 executive order, halting new wind projects, is a wake-up call: why pour money into a technology that can't stand on its own? Greens claim wind's costs have dropped 60% since 2009, but they conveniently ignore the hidden expenses, backup plants, grid upgrades, and decommissioning costs that could hit $500,000 per turbine. This isn't affordability; it's a Ponzi scheme dressed in green.
The Greens' sanctimonious preaching about "clean energy" falls apart when you look at the blood on windmills' blades, literally. Trump's been hammering this since his campaign: wind turbines slaughter wildlife. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service estimates 140,000 to 500,000 birds killed annually, including endangered eagles, shredded by blades spinning at 180 mph. Greens shrug this off, whining that cats kill more, 1.4 billion birds a year, but that's a false equivalence. Cats don't get billions in subsidies to decimate protected species. Offshore wind is even worse, with construction noise disorienting whales and disrupting marine ecosystems. A 2025 Nantucket incident, where turbine debris littered beaches, proves Trump's point: these are "garbage" machines, polluting the very environment Greens claim to save.
Then there's the land grab. Wind farms sprawl across thousands of acres, bulldozing habitats and scarring pristine landscapes. Over 400 counties have banned or restricted turbines, fed up with their skyscraper-sized ugliness and incessant noise, which locals compare to living near an airport. Greens dismiss this as NIMBY whining, but they're not the ones staring at 600-foot eyesores ruining their property values. Turbine production guzzles rare earth metals, mined with toxic waste that devastates ecosystems abroad, yet Greens stay silent, too busy preaching carbon cuts to notice the collateral damage. And when these turbines die after 20 years? Their composite blades, unrecyclable, pile up in landfills, a monument to green hypocrisy.
Trump's visceral disgust, calling windmills a "scenic disaster," speaks for millions. These industrial behemoths turnheartland into a dystopian junkyard, a far cry from the "beautiful plains and valleys" he champions. Rural communities, the backbone of this nation, are fighting back, with X posts railing against "visual pollution" that destroys the soul of the countryside. Trump's 2019 battle to block an offshore wind farm near his Scottish golf course wasn't just personal, it was a stand for beauty against the green machine's relentless march. Greens call this "progress," but it's cultural vandalism, replacing pastoral serenity with mechanical monstrosities.
The environmentalist obsession with windmills is a masterclass in ideological blindness. They push a fairy tale where wind saves the planet, ignoring its crippling flaws. Biden's 11 offshore wind projects, now stalled by Trump's freeze, were sold as climate salvation, but cost developers $50 million weekly in losses, proof the market knows better than green zealots. The Greens' binary dogma, renewables good, fossil fuels evil, ignores reality. Natural gas and coal are reliable, powering hospitals and homes when wind fails. The Heritage Foundation's "lukewarming" argument, that modest warming boosts crop yields, challenges the climate apocalypse narrative, yet Greens refuse to debate, clinging to models that predict doom while ignoring wind's real-world failures.
This ideology blinds Greens to human costs. Wind's intermittency spikes energy prices, hitting working-class families hardest. X users vent about "skyrocketing bills" in states chasing net-zero fantasies. Meanwhile, Greens fetishise carbon metrics, dismissing the asthma, heart disease, and economic hardship caused by their policies. Trump's "energy dominance" agenda, unleashing oil and gas, offers relief, slashing costs and restoring jobs, unlike wind's paltry 125,000 jobs, dwarfed by fossil fuels' 1.7 million.
Trump's wind ban, while blunt, is a righteous pushback against green overreach. His executive order demands studies on wind's costs and wildlife impacts, questions Greens dodge. His "energy emergency" declaration prioritises reliable power, leveraging America's status as the world's top oil and gas producer. Critics cry foul, pointing to wind's growth in Texas (22% of electricity) and Iowa (59%), but these states thrive despite wind, thanks to robust fossil fuel backups. Trump's first term saw offshore wind leasing, but his pivot reflects a clear-eyed rejection of a failed experiment. Greens claim wind's costs rival gas ($25-50/MWh vs. $30-60/MWh), but they cherry-pick data, ignoring system-wide expenses that make wind a loser.
The alternative is clear: double down on fossil fuels and nuclear, which deliver 24/7 power without the environmental carnage. Nuclear, with near-zero emissions and minimal land use, enjoys bipartisan support, Pew shows 67% favour it, but as the Australian election showed, that support for nuclear is not existing in Australia; so double down on fossil fuels. Trump's deregulatory blitz, slashing 98 environmental rules in his first term, proves he can clear the path for real energy solutions, not green pipe dreams.
Windmills are a green con job, unreliable, subsidised to the hilt, and a death sentence for wildlife and landscapes. Trump's right to call them out as "bulls**t" and a "blight," and his policy to halt their spread is a battle cry for sanity. The Greens' refusal to face wind's costs, economic rip-offs, ecological devastation, and cultural vandalism, exposes their ideology as a dangerous fraud. The West needs energy that works: oil, gas, and nuclear, not fairy tales that crumble when the wind stops blowing. Let's rip down this green scam and rebuild an energy future that puts the West first!
"Calling power-generating windmills "bulls**t" and a scenic disaster, President Donald Trump said this week his administration would not approve any more development of wind energy except in cases of emergency.
"We're not going to let windmills get built because we're not going to destroy our country any further than it's already been destroyed," Trump said. "You go and look at these beautiful plains and valleys and they're loaded up with this garbage that gets worse and worse looking with time…What bulls**t this is."
The National Desk posted his profane dislike of the towering wind turbines on YouTube:
Trump made the comments during a speech Thursday ahead of his policy to overturn California's phaseout of gas-powered cars in favor of electric vehicles.
It's not the first time the president has criticized wind energy. Shortly before taking office in January, he told reporters, "We're going to try and have a policy where no windmills are being built. They don't work without subsidy. … You don't want energy that needs subsidy."
On the campaign trail, he vowed to end offshore wind production, spoke out against unsightly turbines near his golf course in Scotland, and has blamed turbines for deaths of birds and whales.
His latest remarks signal Trump may be getting even tougher than the executive order he issued on January 20, the day he took office, that halts approvals of new wind projects, but described the policy as temporary.
It stated further wind development couldn't proceed until the government could study their costs and "the environmental impact of onshore and offshore wind projects upon wildlife, including, but not limited to, birds and marine mammals."
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, in 2023 ten percent of the electricity generated in the U.S. was from wind energy projects in 41 states.
