"US president Donald Trump and his commerce secretary have launched
extraordinary new attacks on renewables at the World Economic Forum in Davos,
Switzerland, even sparking a walkout by senior European officials and an early
closure of an event hosted by BlackRock boss Larry Fink.
Trump doubled down on his claim that there are no wind farms to be found in
China, despite the fact that China has installed more wind capacity than the
world’s next 18 biggest markets – including the US – combined.
“They sell them to the stupid people that buy them. They don’t use them
themselves,” Trump said, before insisting that China only built a “couple” of
wind farms to show people what they could look like.
“They don’t spin, they don’t do anything,” he said. “They make a fortune
selling the windmills. They killed the birds, they ruin the landscape.”
Trump’s remarks might be waved away as the demented ramblings of an ageing
wanna-be autocrat, who happens to be head of the world’s most powerful economy,
but it is important to remember they do form the basis of political and
planning discussion in Australia."
