Former President Donald Trump vowed to take regulatory actions against offshore wind power projects once back in office, pointing out that the technology was expensive as well as detrimental to surrounding wildlife.

Offshore wind power projects “destroy everything. They’re horrible and the most expensive energy there is. They ruin the environment. They kill the birds. They kill the whales,” President Trump said during a May 11 rally in Wildwood, New Jersey. “We are going to make sure that that ends on day one. I’m going to write it out in an executive order. It’s going to end on day one,” the former president continued.
