Donald Trump's solar and wind power criticism slammed by scientists: ' Trump is a dangerous, evil clown'
Scientists responded angrily to President Donald Trump’s anti-renewable energy claim that people would have to turn off their TV sets if there wasn’t enough wind to power turbines.
Trump took a second swipe at wind power when he argued building wind turbines near homes would affect property prices. “Trump is a clown, but a dangerous, evil clown. He would happily mortgage the future of our children and grandchildren for the short-term profit of those,” he told Newsweek.“But you know what does decrease property values?" asked the professor. "Unprecedented floods, wildfires and inundation by sea level rise and more ferocious tropical storms, all of which are exacerbated by human-caused climate change which, in turn, is caused by our reliance on fossil fuels.
Dr. Ajay Gambhir, a senior research fellow with the Grantham Institute at Imperial College London, chimed in with Mann’s concerns. He told Newsweek, “The claims made by Trump are tired and out of date.” The target was achieved in 2017, making solar power comparable to coal- and gas-fired electricity generation costs. The department said it hoped to cut costs by a further 50 percent by 2030, making solar electricity cheaper than coal and gas.
Meanwhile, Richard Cochrane, an associate professor in Renewable Energy at Exeter University, in the U.K., hit back at Trump’s suggestion that relying on wind power would cause the electricity to cut out.
