“I know windmills very much,” Trump said in his Saturday speech. “I’ve studied it better than anybody I know.”
He also opined, “You know we have a world, right? So the world is tiny compared to the universe. So tremendous, tremendous amount of fumes and everything.”
The president has taken a keen interest in a slew of energy-efficiency rules affecting appliances and lighting, which experts describe as the most cost-effective way to curb greenhouse gas emissions linked to climate change. Trump regularly cites his personal experience rather than science.
At a White House meeting earlier this month, Trump complained that consumers were struggling to make more efficient toilets, showers and other appliances work.
“People are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times as opposed to once,” the president asserted, adding that he had asked the EPA to study the issue.
