President Donald Trump renewed his verbal attacks on renewables Wednesday as federal data showed that solar power is on track to provide more than half of installations to the U.S. grid this year.
On Truth Social, Trump said the U.S. would not approve wind or “farmer destroying” solar. The comments followed Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins’ Monday announcement that the department would rescind “all programs building solar panels on our farmland.”
Trump alleged that wind and solar are driving increases in electricity prices, which he called the “SCAM OF THE CENTURY!”
