Trump’s Renewable Energy Attack Backfires

Der Spiegel

Donald Trump’s policies are causing a change in energy. Wind and solar power are growing in the US. This is happening despite Trump’s attempts to stop them.

President Trump has previously said he did not support renewable energy. However, new data shows that the amount of wind and solar power being used in the United States is increasing. This growth is happening because the Iran nuclear deal is reducing the use of oil and gas. This decrease in oil and gas is leading to a shift towards renewable energy sources. The situation shows a change in the energy sector, contradicting Trump’s previous statements.
