President Donald Trump unwittingly called himself a loser in his latest onslaught against windmills. Evelyn Hockstein/REUTERSThe U.S. has more than 77,000 wind turbines across more than 1,800 onshore and offshore projects, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. In 2025, wind power generated 464.4 terawatt-hours of electricity—roughly 10.5 percent of the entire nation’s power, according to climate policy expert Steven Cohen. Trump has long protested windmills, like the ones offshore the Trump International Golf Links course in Scotland, where he visited last summer. The White House has previously told the Daily Beast that wind energy is the “scam of the century” and that Americans have paid “billions more for the least reliable form of energy.”
