Washington Gov. Jay Inslee called Trump's claims about potential negative impacts of the widespread adoption of wind energy 'moronic'
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee on Monday called President Trump's claims about potential negative impacts of the widespread adoption of wind energy "moronic," labeling the president a "narrow-minded thinker."
"When Donald Trump said we're not going to have toasters and TVs if we have wind power, that's just simply moronic, is the best way I can say it," Inslee, who announced last week that he would run for president, said during an interview with ABC's "The View."Trump has long expressed skepticism about climate change despite significant scientific evidence that it exists and is caused largely by human activity.
The president has also championed the use of traditional fossil fuels, the burning of which is a major factor in climate change, and has expressed skepticism about alternative energy sources. Addressing the Conservative Political Action Conference, Trump joked that once "the wind stops blowing, that's the end of your electric," while mocking the Green New Deal proposal backed by many Democrats in Congress.
